MNSSHP - Oct 7th

[BigRedDad]

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.

Sorry it wasn't all you were hoping for. Are you planning to sue Disney in small claims court like you said you would earlier if this happened? (I'm genuinely asking, I'm not meaning to be snarky or anything)

This is exactly why I will get my money back, not a refund, but my money back. It will take escalation through layers of WDW Management, threat of a small claims suit, and me taking pictures of Trespassers there while they should be out. Keeping a small journal of my discussions with CMs, their names, and their reaction to getting escorting the Trespassers out. I think we all know that WDW does nothing to enforce the rules.

If I run into this on Thursday and I feel I am getting raped by having to pay for something others are stealing from me, I will get my money back.

ok I am not a moderator but I know that this thread is getting not so nice. Personal attacks are not how we do things here and I'm sure a moderator will be along shortly to remind everyone to "play nice".

Thanks for your report on the party. Glad your family had a good time!

That said, this is rehashing the previously closed thread and we just aren't going to go back there so soon.
