yeah, definitely for us - and to be there later (especially in the summer) is nice. It's just a very pleasant experience to not have to deal with crowds walking between things and just getting on rides with no wait (or even SDD that had a bit of a wait, the line moved and felt very short). And without buying LLMP/SP probably not getting on a ton more than the 8 rides we did unless really there rope drop to close anway. Obviously miss out on shows and stuff like that though Definitely has it's place and not for everyone but works for some

That's true but I think this offering is directed to people who are bothered more by crowds than by price. All the comments about price per ride and declining attendance don't register with those people. They are likely to disregard the first factor and consider the second as a positive.

I think it really depends on how this fits into your vacation. If you get in at 7:00 you can have dinner at a TS restaurant and then get on all the rides with no wait. Ending by not having to deal with huge crowds waiting for Fantasmic would be a plus.

Beware of block pricing… I feel like I’ve said that “once or twice” for the last 18 years or so…

Nudge,Nudge! Looks like the crowd is getting use to a Daytime ticket and a separate Nighttime ticket. Guess there won't be any surprise when it happens.

Cost goes down, but at the expense of "exclusivity" for those first 3 hours.

For our DHS after hours we paid $167 (undercover tourist). Could get in at 7 and event ended at 12:30, so 5.5 hours so works out to right around $30/hour. Which is definitely not cheap, but we did get a lot done (per hour) and no waiting for really anything so definitely trade offs I wouldn't do one as an add on to a big Disney trip but for a short trip or as part of a larger Orlando trip I think they can make sense
