I think I paid $55 for each of my kids back in 2009 for the Christmas after party. Granted, they were in the 3-10 year age category but $249 is a huge jump from that 👀
Disney special events are too expensive. I am taking my grandkids to the Oggy Boogie Bash, but what I’m paying for 2 nights is as much or more than a usual week vacation. The only reason I’m doing it is because we didn’t get our usual 2 week vacation. I hope the prices come down next year so regular people can afford to see this great party. Great but not worth the asking price per ticket.
I’ve even to both the Halloween and Christmas after hours events and they used to cost much less than a single day park entrance not double. The pandemic has hurt many businesses but charging double to make up for revenue lost is ridiculous. There will be those that will say no to the overpriced 4 hour event but there will always be the ones that will say yes even if it’s $300 per person. If people would not buy the tickets then maybe Disney would see how ridiculous it is to charge so much for a 4 hour event. An event that won’t have all the rides open, nor all the restaurants open. I’ve attended and though it is beautiful it’s just 4 hours. Think about how much it’s really costing you. It’s really not worth it.
Well, after feeling as though I was thoroughly robbed by buying a Boo Bash ticket, I have already decided I’m not buying a Christmas ticket,. even though I will be there for two of the scheduled nights. I am also thinking I might not renew my annual pass. If Disney can’t return to free Fast Passes, shows, and daytime parades, I’m not sure the AP is worth it anymore.
We’ve never had to pay extra at Christmas before!! This is absurd. We have always been able to see all of those things without paying extra!! Besides that means that 24 nights during November & December those of us that aren’t willing to fork over more money will have to leave the park early!! RIDICULOUS!!!!! I am a Legacy Passholder and I find this is really insulting.
I would just like to know what is different from the previous one for it to cost this much. They are taking more things away and getting pricy then they are giving. No more fast passes, magical express from airport ending this year. Make it worth while for people wanting to visit.
Yes, $249 is way too much for an after-hours event. And, the Boo Bash, only 3 hours for that price, ridiculous! I’ve been to the NSSHP and the VMCP, enjoyed them both, but it was at least more inclusive, not a teaser event. I hope Disney is not going to continue to outprice these parties. Sad
Although I can afford it, it is definitely not a good use of resources.
I will spend the dollars on the annual pass as I have done in the past.
Definitely a money grab, understand it’s a business but come on…
We have attended this event in the past but will NOT this Christmas year. We go to Walt Disney World every year during the Holidays and stay at a deluxe resort but it seems every year Disney gets greedier. I remember when resort parking was free now you have to pay for each day you stay. No more free Magic Bands now you have to pay for them and I could keep going and going. This $249.00 is way out of reach for the average family and when you have seven family members well add it up Disney. Very very disappointed.
Ridiculous!!! No way even if i could afford it. Disney has cut out any but the rich and if they continue to pay the middle and lower income families will never be able to attend Disney. I own a DVC and plan on selling as Disney has changed my feelings on anything to do with the park. Walt would be horrified by their treatment of families in this economy.

I’m not rich enough. Are you listening to us Disney execs? You are shutting out the middle class.

I think I’m missing something here…does this party include a dj, o doeuvres, and an open bar?! The prices and time frame tell me heck yes.
