Basic questions about Disney After Hours

[MrsPete]

I'm trying to decide whether this would be a good choice for our group of six adults. Please tell me if I understand correctly:

- This is a hard-ticketed event and is over $100/person.
- We do not need a regular day-ticket in addition to this hard-ticket event?
- We are renting a house off-site. These tickets are available to everyone, not just on-site visitors?
- We can enter at 7:00 ... but can we ride at that point? I mean, can we really get six hours of park time for this ticket?
- The event is 10:00 - 1:00 ... so we can ride LOTS and LOTS quickly during that time frame.
- Snacks -- ice cream, popcorn, and sodas are included in the price. Wow, my group could do some damage.
- This is only available occasionally, and we cannot be sure that it'll be available for our September dates. Is this worthwhile enough to consider moving to another month that's historically offered more of these options?
- I can't see us doing it more than once ... what park would you choose?

Thanks for your help, All.

Not sure which park event you are researching (or looking at all three) but a read through the first handful of posts of these threads will answer most of your questions:

All of your statements are accurate. It is well worth the money in my opinion. I would choose Magic Kingdom, so much more to see and do there. I would not change my dates... Do take a look at the links provided above.

Yes to all your question and I too would do MK you can do all the rides show or close to it with a good plan

I have done 3 of these in MK and loved everyone, despite cold weather, sore back, and being very tired (travel day and up since 3am). We have had a blast, we rode everything we wanted to and enjoyed the snacks and drinks.

MK was so low crowds each time and it is very hard to see this anymore. Pictures on Mainstreet are so nice because no one else is in them.

If you are looking to go in September there will be Halloween Parties going on at the Magic Kingdom. Someone with more experience please chime in, will there still be Disney After Hours that month as well?

There was one MK DAH night on the schedule last year - 9/20. None in prior years. FWIW.
