**Disney After Hours-Hollywood Studios** FAQ & Discussion Thread

Sorry for asking a question that has been addressed before, but during DAH do you have the option to watch the ToT preshow in the library? I'd like to watch it for the first ride then skip it for any subsequent rides. Thanks!

When I went on 2/9, we rode first a little before 8:30 and they were running the preshow. After the event started it wasn’t running.

Did they let you in earlier than 7?

Been wondering where you’ve been! Forgot this is Mardi Gras week!

Hope the night goes well, curious to hear your perspective.

We got here at 5, because we have APs.

Was that the case for both libraries? I just read in Josh's easywdw review that one library was showing the preshow and the other wasn't though that was back in December and it could have easily have changed between then and now.

Remember one elevator shaft is down for refurb, curious to see if that impacts anything.

I've heard conflicting reports about when that's supposed to begin. Josh (easywdw) said it had already started, but people on wdwmagic and touringplans both say it won't begin until May.

So when we went I only saw them running one library, but they had all four elevators going.

We also had no problem asking to ride again and they took us back up the chicken exit to the load area. But we also had several elevators where we were the only ones on. I just finished my post about the event on my trip report.

I was thinking that wouldn't start until later in the year, but that would certainly answer my question if true. Got a FP between 7-8 to ride with the preshow just in case. I would like to see it once because it does help set the mood for the ride.

Thanks. I haven’t followed it that closely. Didn’t know it was a topic that was undecided! Ha!

I guess I may be misinformed.

I believe it’s officially listed as “Spring”

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Guess that’s what I get for getting my news on Twitter.

This was the same for us. Only one library with no preshow running and all 4 elevators were running

Headed back to TSL at 8. My kid was going crazy waiting to get back here

Bout to ride TSM now.

Seems like pretty low waits posted on the app, relatively speaking. 5 mins for TSM and AS2, 30 for SDD. 5 mins from park the DAH start time.

Always so hard to tell from the app alone though.

Does anyone know if there might be DHS After Hours for September? If so, about when is that information released? Thanks.

 

[SaintsManiac]

Mania was about 10 minutes. Aliens walk on at 8:30. Slinky looks like it will really be 20. We got in line at 8:41.

CMs checking wristbands everywhere.

Waiting for the fireworks crowd to leave before heading out for snacks.

DAH at DHS is relatively new, so we just don’t know. Dates don’t go past April at the moment and there is no history beyond that. I’d guess, maybe? I think DHS DAH will end come SWGE time, so maybe they’ll pack the schedule with them until then.... but who knows.

I’m guessing everyone is in TSL. My kid just wants to ride Slinky lol. Husband went to RNR and ToT. He said he could choose a row on RnR. No Pre-Show wait.
