The interesting point made by Jim Hill is that Disney have conditioned people to plan their vacations so far in advance that when something like this arises with only 3 weeks notice, people don't have the flexibility to make it work.

I also agree with this. It should have been advertised to start in the summer.

I'd counter this by saying "then the day of sales for a desert party at MK won't work".

I would be pissed if I bought one and find out they were giving them away for free.
Keep that in mind the next time you read a mommy blogger's trip report about her fabulous family trip to see the opening of XYZ attraction.
Agreed. This event was just poorly executed from day one. I still can't figure out why this was not announced to start Memorial Weekend. I think it would have been more popular. Successful? Don't have a clue. But it would be better than it is now.
This has certainly been a "Black April" for Disney. Just about nothing has gone right. Maybe it's "Tom Staggs Revenge" mojo.

That makes perfect sense, especially with a few people I've talked to just assuming they're having 24 hour events again this year. So if they were looking for some after hours fun...voila! Pay up.
Well the TLT portion of it is constantly sold out and people do ask what it is and if they can pay and have to be turned away. I assume this is why they think expanding to the new hub/FP+ spots will be worth it.
I heard a lot were given/offered to DVC members.

I'd say so, I'm still on the fence about going to WDW this year and the only park I'd really want to go to is MK. If I can go on this many attractions for the price, it's very tempting but if it's performing this poorly, I doubt it will still be on the go come September.

7 hours of MK, 3 of which are zero crowds plus free snacks and beverages? $75 is worth that IMHO
I think read some where that guests were being allowed into the park as early as 4pm.
Edit: found it.

I hope that they'll allow the general public to purchase at that price.
Honestly, at $75, I'd call it the best value at Disney or Universal. 7 hours (if they let you in at 4), 3 of them without any crowds, plus food? Hell, knowing you can get in at 4, I'd reconsider if $150 is that awful of a deal. It's not great, but it's a better value than most give it credit for.

Thought. Offer this at $100 or so, let people in at 6pm for a 10pm closing. Park closes at 1am. Offer ticket only when UOR has its parks closing early. Perfect way to rope people in.
Interesting. It is for 5 nights that they have the reduced rate ($75) for Passholders and now they say it is 25 attractions. That is a ton more than the original select list they had posted.
The question is how many times can me and my daughter ride Space, Thunder, Splash, Mine Train, and Peter Pan in 3 hours? lol
