I just got home at midnight last night from our trip where my DD and I attended the 8/1 VAH event. We both LOVED the event and thought the crowd level was good and had an amazing time. We didn't take time out to go get treats/food since we had the HEA dessert party right before and so we were able to get a ton of stuff done. I let her control what rides we went on so we did skip Space, but we did ride through on the people mover twice to hear the villians voices and she loved it. So here is our list of stuff we rode from when we got in at 6:35pm for the party.
Before party with FP:
Pirates (she wasn't too keen on going on it with any actors, it kinda freaked her out so we did it before)
Haunted Mansion
SDMT
Buzz
Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor (to get out of the rain before the fireworks)
*watched HEA from the plaza viewing area and then went to the after fireworks dessert party*
During the party in order:
Buzz
People mover
Tomorrowland Speedway
Splash
Big Thunder
saw Maleficent as we walked through frontierland just by chance
Small World (personally wouldn't have chosen it, but she wanted to so ok lol)
Barnstormer x2 (they let us stay on, we would have ridden again but DD gets motion sick and needed a break)
Dumbo
drinks, bathroom, and light shopping break
People mover
SDMT
caught the 1:00 stage show on our way out by chance, we hadn't planned to see it but stopped to watch
enjoyed hecklers as we made our way to the monorail to head back to GF
The only thing we had to wait for at all was SDMT which actually wasn't as bad as the CMs said it was, they came on the intercom and said it would be a 55 min wait right after we got in line but we were on and off in about 25 minutes and left the ride right as they closed the line at 1. We loved the atmosphere and I would 100% do this event again. By the time I got to bed I had been awake for 24 hours since it was our travel day but it was well worth it.
