The party last night was pretty fun, but far too crowded for $60 a person. We had fun for 4 hours, but could have done without the lines. We were not there for rides, only the party activities. Here are some points:
Likes
1. Fireworks show
2. Parade
3. Trick or Treating
Dislikes
1. Very limited party specific merchandise: t-shirt and pin
2. Crowds - far too many for an after park event. It may have been bad luck, but past parties I have gone to were much small crowds.
3. Lines
Ok, no to the point I have argued previously. They did little to nothing to make people without bands leave. We were only checked 2 times between 7:00PM and 7:05PM. There were far more people there that did not pay for the event than those that did. I would say it was 35% paying and 65% non-paying. I am not joking, it was insane at how poor it was. Enough on that.
The lines were the worst. Character lines were at least 45 minutes for Alice and the Dwarves alone. Others were equally as bad.
I do not want to sound negative because we did have a good time. However, I will never pay for or go to an after party event again. I know this is against Intercot policy but I am pointing out a fact, not an action: there is no reason to pay for an event because you can get into it free.
