Both Boo Bash and Very Merriest seem to have been quite successful from Disney’s perspective. Many sellouts, despite eyebrow raising prices (especially for the Christmas version). Is Disney going to let the next seven months go by without any hard ticket late night offerings? It seems like, if the company can find the staffing, these events can be very profitable. And they help to spread out crowds across the day, which works to everyone’s benefit.
Obviously, going back to evening free Extra Magic Hours, or just reinstating the occasional 1:00 am closing time would be even more beneficial for guests, but those days are over. This is the era of not giving away for free anything that people will pay money for. But I’m one of the suckers who will pay money for this. Disney won’t be able to charge as much for this as Very Merriest, since regular After Hours don’t come with all of the entertainment. But they could probably inflate the old After Hours prices a good deal (as they seem to do with everything these days) and still sell a ton of tickets. And they could expand again to DHS and AK.
Any thoughts on whether (or when) this will happen? It’s not like today’s Disney to leave money on the table!
