We were there. First time we have been on property for a DVC after hours event. We do not live close to Florida, so we go to Disney usually every two years. I will tell you that this, in our opinion, was awful. From everything I read about this, we were supposed to have short lines for rides, treats, special characters, reimagined entertaining. Lines were generally long. We arrived at about 9:30 after having left MK. We walked on to Spaceship Earth and were very excited. Then we went to Test Track. The wait was over an hour. Went over to The Land Pavillion to get a treat since the two, yes only two, lines for popcorn and ice cream bars were extremely long. There were fruit and cheese boxes which everyone was grabbing as quickly as they could. We decided to ride Soarin' since it was only a 30-minute wait. My 16-year-old son decided to wait in the line for the popcorn buckets. 45 minutes later, he finally had them. At this point we were just mad. We were spending the very little time allotted for this event in long lines. We went to the Port of Entry store to see about the special merchandise. All they had was one DVC spirit jersey and one button up men's shirt. That's it! And it wasn't even "special", we could get the same things in our resort gift shop. After talking to someone in line about the attraction wait times, we decided to go ride Test Track which was now down to a 40 minute wait, and then leave. We rode TT, which turned about to be about a 25 minute wait. When we got off it was 12:30. Knowing we had 30 minutes left, we decided to ditch the event and the crowds rather than trying to race back to Remy and get in line there. On the bus back to our resort, we all agreed that we should have just gone back to our resort and got a few extra hours sleep before our next day at the MK.
