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

[Haley R]

We're attending this week's DAH. The park closes at 10pm. Does that mean we can enter at 7pm or 6pm? I've seen reports on this thread for both. The official Disney page says:

"Guests with Disney After Hours tickets can enter the park at 7:00 PM every event night—event times vary slightly depending on date."

Does "event times vary slightly depending" mean you might get in at 6 or should we stick with 7?

I’d be there at 6 just in case. Most reports have been people going in between 6-6:30

The official park entry time for all DAH events is 7pm, no matter what time the actual DAH event is on that particular evening.

In practice, for MK DAH the actual time they start letting DAH ticket holders in the front gate has been anywhere from 6-7pm, with most reports of 6-6:30pm’ish (with only an occasional ‘they held us until closer to 7pm’ report).

Got ours for June 6th after calling - waiting on hold only to be disconnected as soon as someone answered. Called back and waited even longer. Then the system crashed for the lady I was on the phone with and she put me back on hold. Probably had to reboot her computer. In the end I got what I wanted but - geesh!

Thread Update

Not sure if this will be worth it or tell us anything interesting about date/date trends, but I’ve created a “date poll” for these Villains After Hours events on the Doing the Happy Dance sub-forum here:

Magic Kingdom “Villains After Hours” Summer 2019 Date Poll

If you’ve bought tickets or will be buying tickets, stop by and vote for your date(s).

I am going to see how the reviews are first then I may pull the plug on this date. But I have to get the conference booked first to be sure I am actually going! LOL

I bought the Villians tickets for June 13. Trying to surprise my boys but the oldest looks at MDE. The tickets dont show in my plans so I should be good.

We're going on the 13th also! You can see them under 'My Tickets' in case you hadn't seen that already. What a wonderful surprise!

It won't show in your plans, but they will show up under the "Tickets & Memory Maker" tab (or My Tickets in the app), so if they are nosy, they may find them.....

I got our tickets this morning for June 20th!/Villains DAH.
I just re-read the advertisement and it said special food and drinks available for purchase....I knew I had seen that before but I thought we’d get the usual DAH food/drinks stuff as well. I’m thinking no at this point.

Yes, popcorn, bottled drink & ice cream is still included. It’s just the villainy stuff that costs extra.

We're also going July 25th. It's my DD's birthday that day!

 

[jenjersnap]

Yay, got home from work so finally pulled the trigger on our date...and, boo, only to find out immediately after that my college freshman DS may not be able to go due to a great job opportunity. Guess I might get to beg a phone CM for a refund, sigh.

We will be celebrating my middle DS’s birthday that night too!
