Disney Very Merriest After Hours Party just announced!

And has been said a million times, with the country's current workforce problems across all industries, companies, and most importantly service industries, that just may not be possible at the moment regardless of cost. If money isn't a concern, there are always personal tours, etc.

If there is "limited employees" as you state, then why price gouge the consumer? Why give them less for more? Why not give them less for less?

We have hijacked this thread enough, but the answer to your question is the high demand. IF the demand were not so high, they could not do it. The workers are overwhelmed as there are more people per CM than ever before. It is starting to get better with the college program kids. Hopefully they get back to full service everything soon. I am done answering these questions here. PM me if you would like.

Hijacked, lol....as if there is any other info to add to this thread. Never understood the whole hijacking a thread thing. It's a conversation sparked from the original topic. If there were more info to add from the original topic then it would be added, but there is not.

I guess its better to just let a thread die then

Better be a pretty awesome parade for the price difference between Boo Bash and this on most nights

 

[rangerxenos]

I paid $104 for the Christmas party in 2019, and that was an hour longer than this is. They won't be getting my money this year, though I'm sure there will be lots of people that will be paying these prices.

The food they will have better be awesome for over 200 bucks

What time do these go on sale?

 

[KayKayJS]

I gotta say I'm actually excited. My 2 year old has never seen a disney parade even though we live in Orlando - and she LOVES seeing the calvacades. I'll pay it this year just for that now that they've announced the parade is coming back.

The sad thing is that even at these prices it will probably sell out. I'm so glad I went in 2018 and totally got over my FOMO. I have no regrets over not being willing to fork over $800+ dollars.

For our fam of 5 paid $600 for party in 2018.

This year would be $1200 ish..

Even if capacity was half just is too steep

Wow... Here's the chart breakdown by date

I realize Disney is a business and needs to make a profit and make up for Covid losses. Such a large jump in the price will be upsetting to most Disney fans. I'm sure they will sell out, which will send Disney the message it's ok to do this to other things in the future. At some point, each of us will need to make the decision that enough is enough. I'm not there yet but getting closer. I think we all have such great memories of past visits, it makes it hard to stop wanting to go back. We still enjoy the safe hotels, clean heated pools and good restaurants at Disney Springs. Parks are not a priority to us any longer, but I do like to visit when a new attraction opens.
