Why wouldn’t they? People round here seem to be begging for it already 😎

Genie+ rollout. It's services work well for seasonal offerings. I could see the party returning. Although I expect a price bump in addition to the "pay to play" character experiences.

Going on a hunch. I think this party returns this year and we get an announcement soon. It was announced in April 2019 (for June-August dates) and December of 2019 (for Feb-July 2020 dates).

There's one thing I didn't expect to see in this thread. That's it. That's the thing.

How do we feel about Mickey in a ball-gag?

Magenta PantherFeb 22, 2020

As long as it was shown that he woke up in the end and was okay, I could go along with this idea.

Play dates where mommies bring the kiddos together to play while they sip wine and chit-chat has been a thing for quite a while, so I don't think mom is too worried about little Jimmy or Jenny seeing her drink. (Side note: I may have a old friend who's nickname is Silly Sally Sippy Cup because she likes to take neighborhood walks with a sippy cup full of vodka...and her kids are grown and out of the house.)

Benjamin_NicholasFeb 22, 2020

Exactly. Let's be realistic. The baby and the bathwater are long gone on this one.

Walt Disney once thought of the children, but I think the age of "we can't let the children see Mommy drink while in line for Jasmine" has come and gone, now that you can get tipsy in Beast's ballroom. People forget that the children have been to Epcot festivals with their parents after a long day at MK.

And as we all know... WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN? WON'T SOMEBODY THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN? IT'S WHAT WALT WOULD HAVE WANTED. :)

You mean Chapek

Still, it would not be on-brand. Even in the darkest shorts, like Runaway Brain, he ends up winning the day. A fully unique show would likely fit the bill better - I’d love for a finale show showcasing various live-action hero-villain battles, ending with a big Night on Bald Mountain or Firebird sequence. Anyways. Let’s stay on topic. Alcohol in the Magic Kingdom, no lines, and Hercules characters. I have a lot of non-bloggy people that would pay out the butt for that, especially those that don’t live near Disney or frequent the park, but enjoy Disney by wearing gear from Hot Topic or play Kingdom Hearts. That’s the segment the parks really haven’t tapped.

Mickey doesn’t have to be killed, he can be imprisoned in his mind. Remember, you always eventually wake up from nightmares.

DisneysonFeb 22, 2020

I’m almost all in, except there is a 0 percent chance they would show Mickey being killed by the Disney Villains. I think they’d more quickly set up themed mazes throughout the park (Jedi Temple where you face your greatest fears, HalloweenTown, Villains of Pixar). But that park has no issues with popularity for the time being.
