**Disney After Hours - Magic Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

[Captainkidd76]

We’re now close enough to the Villains date that I tend to trust the attraction hours on the Disney website a bit more.

All of the rides and attractions normally open during DAH show “Special Ticketed Event - 10pm-1am” except the character meets.

Now, I don’t necessarily trust the website to be 100% fact, but it may provide clues.

TBD!

Are you saying that the same attractions open during the regular DAH event at the MK will be open during the Villains event? Is there a list of all those attractions?

An official list has not been published. At the moment we don’t really know. And we might not know until the first person walks in and is given an event handout.

I'm planning to buy tomorrow when they're released. Even if they don't sell out, I'm worried by the fewer Aug dates and the proximity to SW opening (I want Aug 29).

This is me too. I'm wanting to buy tomorrow asap as I'm worried the September date will go fast because of the higher crowd levels coming for SW GE.

Oh my goodness, really?!?! I assumed I could only get reduced priced tickets for the people who actually have the AP.

I got three adult DVC discounted tickets for myself, my husband and our adult daughter. Only myself and my husband are DVC members. Now our adult daughter does live at the same address as us - and I am assuming your children do too - so it shouldn't be an issue at all.

Hi. I plan to purchase these tomorrow with DVC or AP discount (have to look to see if same or different) for three adults for September 5. I just did a mock booking for tomorrow's date and I do not see anywhere to put my DVC or AP discount.
Do I have to go through the DVC or AP member site for the discount?

What time can I begin to purchase the tickets?

Thank yo.

Make sure you are logged into to your MDE account when searching for tickets. On one of the ticket screens you’ll see this:



If you aren’t logged in, you’ll only see the Products and Prices for All Guests.

The AP and DVC discount is the same.

There is no standard, but for the last few new date introductions tickets have gone one sale at or shortly after midnight ET.

I'm planning on buying 2 tickets tomorrow for MK DAH on Sept. 26th. I'm so happy it's being offered and especially on the day that's right in the middle of our trip so we usually try to schedule a sleep-in day then anyway!

Is there any reason to not buy the tickets on Undercover Tourist? I'm assuming they'll release the August tickets on their website around the same time Disney does, and I can save $15 buying through them.

I also wonder how the crowds will be during September with SW opening? We need to sleep sometime and with HS opening at 6am, who is going to be out late? it can be our saving grace or look out!!

That would be me... Will report my findings next week. Fingers crossed the crowd level will be typical DAH.

Thank you so much! I went on to MDE and it gave me a price of $101 and when I hit details, it said I was getting the DVC rate. I also have an AP, but it did t give me an option for that but if it is the same, doesnt matter I guess.

Thank you very much! I appreciate your help.

I bought both of sets of our DAH tickets from UT. I definitely saved money and had no trouble linking them to MDE. FYI...the July villain tickets didn’t actually go on sale until later in the day on the UT website. I was worried that UT wouldn’t carry the tickets, but they eventually went on sale just later than the Disney website. So you may have to wait longer than you would if you bought directly from Disney.

Just bought our tickets for 8/29!!! So excited!

 

[Lsdolphin]

Just bought tickets for 8/29! Quick and easy process!!! Thinking this night might sell out with overflow of crowds from HS craziness...but hoping it won’t!

 

[Jdogbeanie]

Got 8/29 as well

 

[Pucks104]

Just bought MK and AK After Hours events tickets for our September trip! Very excited!

 

[poooh]

Just got our tickets for 9/26!

If this is a hard ticket event and I also have a regular non park hopper ticket, would we be able to go to Epcot in the morning using our regular theme park ticket and then go to MK at 7 with our DAH ticket? Has anyone done this before?

Ha...I saw you changed your date...
Anyway you certainly can go to Epcot the same day as your MK DAH...I'm sure many have done this before!

I bought MK after hours tickets for 8/29, and I haven't received an email yet confirming it, and it doesn't show in my MDE. Should I be worried?
