The rumor I heard is that these won't be upcharge events, but all day free with admission offerings like Christmas at Disneyland. I don't know if these will dent Disney's crowd, but they look cool to me.

It could have been the $99 7 day park hoppers. Thats why we went there instead of Disney's@$300 pre/person.
