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

[MinnieMSue]

I’m for a new thread if it gets too confusing


Anyone planning on dressing in theme? Or at least Disneybounding for the Villains version?

I probably will just wear my villain T-shirt I wore to Club villain (which is my favorite ever Disney thing)

Definitely interested to see how this goes.

Am I correct that only 2 DAH at MK sold out in the past months?

I'm a fan of the villains, did the Club Villain back at DHS a few years ago. THAT was fantastic.

I just hope the AH aspect is still good because most of my crew hasn't done MK DAH yet, this will complete their trifecta.

ETA: Just incase, I'll keep our EMM at MK too. Take my money Mickey...take it all...

I really think Disney missed the mark on not adding Villain meets. That part of Club Villain was great. The interactions were a lot of fun and I got some great pics. Maybe future iterations will include some.

Great idea! I may have to do the same if I end up going.

Glad the dragon was repaired in time for this. Hopefully no more mishaps.

We are all picking a villain, but doing a low key bounding.
DS7 picked Scar, so he will wear his "I'm surrounded by idiots" tee (which he is excited to wear around all of us ). DD17 is getting Queen of Hearts ears and wearing a red tank top. DS15 is wearing a "Gaston's Tavern" tee, and then the rest of us are still deciding. I have Evil Queen stuff, but I kinda want something new.
We are just excited when we get new stuff to do at Disney, a little extra to look forward to!
I did the first MNSSHP last year, I am certain this AH will be nothing close to that, so in my mind, it'll be fine.

I’m low key bounding too- I’m wearing
Maleficent ears (horns? Lol) with black shorts and purple tank. Plus I’m tricking out my purple MB with some Etsy decals. (And I’m going to opening night DAH just for low crowds!)

“Villains Unite the Night!” is set to be over 20 minutes long and will run three times each night of the event,

Some thoughts:
1. If this event is truly a limited event...I shouldn't have to claim a spot by the castle to see the show, right? We should be able to just walk right up a few minutes before it starts.

2. three shows....anyone want want to guess the timing? 11,12 and 1am?

3. Are they seriously going to clear out the park before the first show? I think that people are just going to try to stay and if they get asked to leave, they leave, but...it's worth a try to stay and see this show. I watched people switching lanyards last summer before the switch to wrist bands. It's not cool to know you spent hundreds of dollars for this event while others are cheating their way into it.

I'd think more like 11:30, 12:30, and 1:30.

DH has already announced he'll be in his pirate costume. He's debating adding elements to make it Captain Hook. Meanwhile, I have to decide if I want to go with my simple Ursula-bound dress or rush the tailor so my MNSSHP costume is ready early. While I'm grateful for the event, it's annoying that Disney requires I know 180 days in advance if I'm in the mood for Italian or steak and what time I'm going to be hungry, but only gives me six weeks to put together costumes. I mean, I will. But I'm going to complain about it.

Ditto - we attended mid July last summer & the amount of people passing the lanyard to family members was horrible! (BUT we did have an awesome time and rode everything we wanted to!!)

I do hope the park is cleared of day guests prior to the start of any of the Villain shows or overlay. We have never attended MNSSHP, so not sure what to expect in terms of day guests leaving prior to festivities starting.

I'm not sure when it was changed, but they are using wrist bands instead of lanyards now, so that makes it harder to pass to someone else. I would think that they would use them for the Villains events as well.

Thank you - yes, I have been reading along with this thread to keep up to date with the summer dates!!
(Actually after we returned home last summer, I email Disney about the lanyard situation, as did numerous families. It was switched shortly thereafter.)

 

[megs1313]

so if HEA is at 9, there will be regular day guests still in park until the show is over? is that correct?

It changed last august. We went August 4 and had just lanyards and I was surprised at the crowds. That week saw a lot of complaining of lanyards being passed. The next Saturday August 11 we had lanyards AND wristbands and the decrease in crowds was very noticeable!

Yes that’s correct.

So it's your fault that I didn't get a lanyard as a souvenir?

Question. Will they kick everyone out at 10:00 when the DAH start. Me and my 2 boys Are buying the tickets but wife does not ride but may want to hang out with us...

We were able to go to one of the last Club Villains. It's one of those events that every year, my kids ask, are we going to hang out with the Villains again? Definitely, one of the best events Disney has done, IMHO.


Now, this DAH Villains is no Club Villain. And I am a little afraid that they will oversell tickets. BUT, it's offered on our arrival night in July, which is my DD's 12th birthday. And my DH will have to catch a late flight, so the late night would be perfect. I think I just talked myself into this. My DD and I still have matching Villains skirts that I sewed, so I don't even have to fiddle with outfits!

She won't be allowed to stay. It's not just the rides, there are snacks included, plus the atmosphere of MK at night. Everyone will need a wristband. If I were your wife, I would go back to the hotel and enjoy a free evening without hubby or kids!

They aren't as aggressive as they re at the parties, though. She might be able to hang out, but it's hard to say for sure with the free food and such -- it would be easy to give someone a soda or ice cream who wasn't actually at the party.

 

[graybow77]

Ok. Thanks
