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

I just bought a ticket for May The 4th. My girlfriend doesn’t want to be out that late on our arrival day, and she had no interest in going to DHS at all on this trip, so I’ll be doing it solo.

Just booked May the 4th, too!

Me too! It’ll be fun to see what extras they add for it.

We are in on May the 4th as well. I think we are going to go on the 1st to AH as well. Not worried about rides at either party so we are hopeful they have some cool unique characters at these special parties.

So...dumb question. If I purchase DAH at regular price and then upgrade my park hopper to AP while I’m there, will I be able to ask for a credit for the difference in AP pricing?

I did get a gift card for the difference for 5 of us last week, but YMMV. I upgraded my DS7 to an AP at the IG GR, (bought my AP online after I bought DAH) I asked about a credit, he re figured the cost, and gave me the gift card.

Most folks have generally reported the same as @TISHLOVESDISNEY. If you have a CM that won’t credit the difference, probably worth trying again later.

So...those of you still waiting and hoping for summer dates....

Assuming the event continues into August, are you expecting that the Friday nights will continue? Or a return to Saturday nights?

 

[Princess KP]

So bummed there is no June 7th! Does that mean there is something else going on that night? We fly in May 31st at 9:00pm so we can't do that night! Bummer!

Me too!

Me three! Now I have to re-work our itinerary.

I assume it's the same if you've purchased AP's but won't be able to activate and get the code until we are on site.

I was able to purchase as an AP holder even though I only have a certificate/voucher. If you have it linked in MDE, just log in and you'll see AP rates

So, our original plan (after many iterations) was to stay one night pre-cruise at the Poly and enjoy the pool and HEA fireworks from the beach. Now, I'm thinking about adding HS DAH. We just did HS EMM back in October and will be back for a November trip to all four parks. Would you choose DAH now or just enjoy the Poly? Let me just say, if MK DAH were that night I would do that in a heartbeat but I'm on the fence about HS DAH. We've never done any DAH if that makes a difference. Family of four with two daughters.

I just booked for June 14 which is the night before we leave on a cruise! We’re staying at BWV and I heard the DCL transportation usually picks up late morning so the boys can sleep in a bit and then nap on the bus to Port Canaveral!

I love dah, but if you’re doing a cruise the next day I would just hang out at the poly and take it easy

I don’t think anyone really knows. But, I just moved my flight up from a Friday to a Thursday on the chance that there will be an event at one of the parks on a Friday.

I know this has probably already been asked and answered, sorry for asking again if it has. I'm debating on if we should buy the memory maker. Do they have photographers at the character meets and have the ride photos still running?

Yes to both

IMO, with the abundance of charachter photo opps at DHS (if you’re into charachter photos), it’s worth it if an option for you.

FYI, might have missed it if reported already, but tonight is sold out.

Just bought tickets for June!

Hope someone will post a review.

Just catching up after the website time errors for the new dates earlier this week. To avoid any confusion, all May & June dates have 9:30pm-12:30am event times with 9pm park closing times (based on the current schedule).
