After the first day of the event I've gathered a few impressions.
It's raining xp, as is usual for these kind of events. What's supposed to be a double xp run quickly turns into an xp bonanza as players make an extra effort to push the gain. Instead of making 20 - 50 K xp during the day, they make 200, 500, or in extreme cases well over a million XP.
Old eggs, that is eggs collected before the event, do indeed award double xp, but the candy isn't doubled.
2 km eggs may hatch pokemon youldn't normally get from them. However, that kind of happens once in a blue moon.
2 km eggs seem to pop more often than usual from pokestops.
If you're after the candy rather than the pokemon you won't get all that happy if that specific pokemon does hatch from a 2 km egg. The candy reward is still the one associated with a 2 km egg, and even if doubled that's not very much.
Crap is still crap. 5 km eggs may award double candy, and who cares?
10 km eggs are a potential goldmine. Upwards to 60 candy could pop up for the lucky player who gets the right pokemon.
This is an event you really want to spend outdoors. Apart from double xp it's centered around eggs, and you need to make that extra distance to get the full rewards.
If you're sped levelling this is it. At half the cost you can go bonkers on those lucky eggs.
Have fun. I do.
