After hours 2025 & DVC stay

[Sprinkles&Sprints]

Hi all -

This is my first time considering purchasing After Hours in 2025 - luckily two of our trips coincide with posted dates - March and August.

Since I won’t yet be able to reserve our DVC stay for August 2025, I’m assuming that trip wouldn’t qualify for the earlier sign up on Sept 4th (as opposed to the 10th for non-Disney resort guests)?

Yes I believe they usually do limit purchases to only dates which coincide with your hotel stay.

However, there's zero chance of an August 2025 after-hours event selling out in September 2024. You'll have plenty of time to purchase the event tickets.

That’s good to hear - I assumed these all sold out quickly but I guess it makes sense that August would be the last to go

How quickly do you think the tickets for a March 2025 after hours at MK and HS will go?

$740 for a family of 4 to get 3 hours of low lines per event….

Yes, I think these After Hours events maintain availability for some time. I will likely go to one in March, perhaps another in May.

What I really need is to the see the EEH schedule!

I'm glad you posted about this. I didn't realize they had already announced the 2025 dates. We will be there in May and might grab the MK after hours.

I don’t like that the MK AH is on a Monday and the EPCOT EEH has been on a Monday is well…. grrrr

Have you gone before? Are the lines actually more manageable?

Yes I saw that too

Yes! I'm a sucker for all Disney paid after hour parties and events!

I found it to be very much like a Christmas party, without the party
But yes, lines were not bad, and IIRC free snacks.

Well, Hollywood Studios is hosting 13 after hours “Jollywood Nights” in November and December 2024. Largely the same event, except no free snacks included. So far none of the Jollywood Nights have sold out. Also none of the 25 MVMCP dates have sold out.

If you know you want to attend and only have one set of dates that works, probably wise to buy sooner rather than later. The price won’t go down. Never know exactly when dates will start selling out, but it won’t be just a few weeks after they go on sale.

That’s good to know. My point of reference is Oogie Boogie at DCA and it’s crazy how fast that sells out given how much it costs and what it offers.

We always do the after hours parties/events and are super excited that there will be two during our May trip.

The non- holiday parties are less crowded and less popular than the holiday ones. We did EPCOT after hours this past May and it was great! Free beverages and a limited amount of snacks (I recall maple popcorn near Canada). The free bottled water was clutch. We rode Remy two or three times back to back.

I don’t recall anyone posting that the non holiday ones get sold out in advance. I plan on getting our tickets this week but that’s mostly because I don’t want to forget to book,

Well you’re in good company - looks like a few of us will be joining in on the fun in March!!
