It really was bizarre and felt so nice to not be stressed and surrounded by people!

We signed up for TL. We did MK and Epcot in the past few months. Epcot was kind of lame because WS closed early and it just seemed dead (in a bad way) whereas MK was super enjoyable. Hadn't felt so stress free at MK in ages. Walk on to everything and just cool vibes all around. The drizzling probably cleaned out the crowds.

Missed chance to sign up! We arrive that evening...

It appears that something might have changed in the e-mail blocking I've battled with for these emails over the last many years. I got it fixed 2 years ago for the Pandora Preview with a secondary email addres but I noticed today that this email came into the original email address that had all of the blocking issues in the past. I'm hoping that's an encouraging sign that the long term issue (10+ years) I've had with passholder communication might be slowly getting resolved.

I didn't even notice it was for MK too on 4/28. Would have been nice before my birthday but it was filled in like no time ...

I know why I didn't get it. I'm a Silver PH. I guess I don't pay enough for this "free" event.

As per usual, no email.

Only with the holiday parties. The after hours events at the MK start immediately after park close. at DAK and HS, they start 30 minutes after park close. This kinda annoyed me when we did the MK AH event because at 9PM HEA ran for 25 minutes and basically tied everything up in the park on AH time.

Don’t they usually have an hour between park close and the start of a hard ticketed event? Plenty of time to usher everyone else out.

monothingieApr 02, 2019

I was actually surprised at how easy it was to sign up for it. As of now, the park is scheduled to still scheduled to close at 9PM. Park hours always wind up changing, so I would really be surprised if this didn't change to 11PM. Unless they are going to let day guests clear out before the hard ticket event starts. I'm also wondering how crowded it will wind up being.

Yeah, 4/28 is Sunday. I arrive Mon 4/29. Just as well for me. Per usual, Silver is SOL.

You may register up to three other Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus or Premier Passholders linked in your friends-and-family list to share the fun.

I was signed up for the Epcot passholders event this week, but I cancelled. There is just simply no reason to go. I have no reason to wait in lines to ride things for two hours at 9:00 when I can ride them any other day first thing in the morning at rope drop. I do think it is nice that they offer these, especially for annual pass holders staying on property and visiting from out of town - but for locals, this is just a nice afterthought to make pass holders feel appreciated. In reality its just sort of a EMH for locals for the most part. As to World Showcase - they simply close off exactly what is closed off before that part of the park opens at 11:00 each day -- so consider the passholder experience the same as being in the park at 8 am for EMH before the park opens and you can't book FP during that hour anyway.

Last year, I just reach the end of my patience with this mess and was not going to let up until they fixed things. I wasn't willing to accept getting blown off like they had in the past. I had gone through the same hell around the New Fantasyland Preview and when it started happening again, I wasn't letting go until they fixed it. You don't have to actually re-register; they can change the email on the account and everything in your profile is maintained including admissions entitlements, ADR's, FP+, etc.. I was just unwilling to change my email address on principle and they found a way to add a second address to the account. I still log in with the same email I've had on the account for decades, I just do not get any Passholder communications on that address when they are sent, they are received at the second email address that was added to the account.
