I have been to sold-out Halloween and Christmas parties while also having attended a sold-out After Hours. The crowds at the parties were much larger. Wait times were reduced but not by that much and the firework shows were still packed. The after hour events were much better but the focus is more on enjoying rides than on the party. Mine Train and Tron were 25 minute waits and most other rides were walk-ons.

I attended the MK event last night, the rain held off in the end. It was really cool to see enchantment again, it was absolutely dead in the hub while it was on, it was actually the main reason we booked it.

The EPCOT After Hours event on May 29 is now sold out.

I'll be in MK on 5/12. I briefly thought about it but then banished the thought as I'll be in DLR later in the week. Besides, the weather forecast isn't looking good for Monday. No wonder 5/12 is the last available.

Shame many of these sell out. It’s becomes a hard sell to swap out Enchantment for Wishes.

@wdwmagic just to update your article. There is no AP/DVC discount for Magic Kingdom after hours.

And here I thought Enchantment was going to damn After Hours to never selling out. At least, that's what I was told on here when it was announced.

It's an old conspiracy theory that a studio would throw an extra $50M at a movie so it "looks good" while, at the same time, bearing extra tens of millions of dollars in that movie's deficit. If this is what TWDC does, then please explain all of their theatrical releases which financially bombed if Disney plays such game with the Box Office. You're saying Disney would spend tens of millions to keep that from happening. And yet, it happens. So... what you say happens, doesn't.

These days, it seems that it's VERY important for Burbank to display the "sold out" sign on everything. Since Disney keeps it's ticket sales secret, too many people are now using wait times and "sold out" flags to judge park attendence. It certainly does seem that how crowded a "sold out" event actually is CAN vary widely from day to day. Disney has years of gathering sophisticated guest attendance habbits and trends. They already know which nights will have higher AND lower "sell out" numbers based in selling speed and other factors. But yes, I think that no matter how many tickets are actually sold, it's CRITICAL that these events be seen as a "success" with that "sold out" label on top of it. It reminds me of when Disney was accused of buying it's own movie tickets in empty theaters just as a marketing trick to "buy" good box office numbers press for a bad movie. Remember, if a studio buys 50 million in movie tickets one week, the theaters keep half and the other 50 million goes right back to studio!!. In a case like this, Burbank's marketing group can buy a ticket from parks and experiences and that money never leaves the company at all. But Parks can still report it as a "sold" ticket for their financial books and they can make all the internet "watchers" (like us) feel very impressed. This is nothing new. It an old trick...

I can’t speak to Halloween parties, but when I went to a sold out EPCOT After Hours, everything was a walk-on throughout the night except Guardians, which held steady at a posted 30 minute wait (but actual 15 minute wait in the queue leading up to the pre-show). The draw for After Hours is undoubtedly low waits, whereas the parties are more about the entertainment IMO. Does Disney actually advertise less wait times for the Halloween/Christmas parties?
