My family and I were at MK this year for the Monstrous Summer all-nighter, and our experience there sounds pretty similar to the experiences people had at this event. Absolutely horrendous crowds, no direction whatsoever on the cast members' part, and just an overall underprepared event. It took us 45 minutes to get from the hub to the train station at the front of the park. That is nuts! We left after Wishes was over, didn't even bother to stick around longer for the dance parties. Too much chaos. Although I must say, up until Wishes started, the park did not seem too crazy to us. We arrived around 7 and rode Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and Buzz without too much of a hassle.
I have to agree with PP's about Disney just not getting it through their heads that events like this are going to draw an obsurd amount of crowds. There needs to be way way waaaaay more preparation and planning going on behind the scenes before these things are put on. I don't blame the cast members here at all either. I'm sure most of them were doing as much as they could under the circumstances and with the information they were given. Also, there should be a cut-off for when alcohol can be purchased within the park. They do that at the baseball stadium near where I live, for crying out loud. Falling-down drunk people during an event with crowds of this magnitude is just not cool.
I know I'm late to this discussion, but just wanted to throw my two cents in. I hope Disney eventually figures out how to put on events like this, because I would love to go to one and enjoy myself in the future.
