I know it’s not as simple as flipping a switch, but some after hours throwback nights where they showed Enchantment or Wishes would be immediate sell outs.

The final date for the After Hours event at EPCOT, August 24, has sold out.

A little interesting…VAH is featured on a 2024 calendar. (Yes I know Enchantment is too) https://x.com/christier0408/status/1690862305104347136?s=46&t=ecQrhwSJt2moe28pEQ0Hwg

Anyone know if Villain's after hours is ever returning? They seem to have relocated some of the characters that were in the 2020 version of the cavalcade to Boo To You this year.

Yeah…somebody had to be the human shield. I’m guessing a new Model X showed up in his driveway a couple years ago when the C Suite decided to give up on the spine redo with a note that said: “Thanks for all you do…please find a complementary TWDC monogrammed Kevlar vest in the trunk for your daily use… - Bob and Bob”

Disney fans…the backbone of their park clientele…mostly boomers and gen x… Where NEVER gonna fall for that. We are our own worst enemies in many ways buy throwing coin at them…but that doesn’t mean we don’t know smell BS. Especially the Xers

Creative lead for a project many despise and the PR/social media face for it. Not an enviable position to be in, given hindsight and all. Anyway, back to the thread topic. I could see them cutting off sales yesterday and calling it "sold out". They know how many tickets have been sold, when they've been sold, patterns for other event ticket sales... it may not have been worth it to keep sales open and instead bite the bullet to create the illusion of "strong demand" for this one in an attempt to sell more for the remaining events. If you don't believe Disney, or any company, would do that, I have several large plots of land in southern Florida I'd like to sell to you.
