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

[GADisneyDad14]

Making my first post to say I got my tickets for DAH Villains on June 6 last night! Celebrating my birthday and my SO's (mine is 6th, his is 16th). Gonna be his first Disney experience and our first time seeing each other in 2.5 months!! (LDR, I got back from visiting him in Scotland last month). This is my first hard ticket event, and 3rd visit to Disney.

To the DIS!

Have fun.

Ok this is going to be a strange question. What "select" beverages do they have for this event? I don't drink soda so is there anything else available? Lemonade, water, etc?

I believe it’s the bottles that they have at the drink carts around the park. Definitely the Dansai water bottles would be available

I believe water is the only other option besides soda

Cool, thanks, just bought mine for June 20th! I’m sure there was no need to rush, but once I saw this I just couldn’t go to bed and wait until morning knowing I could have it done.

We are going June 20th as well. Purchased mine Monday around noon. Considering purchasing the 27th as well since that will be our last night, but not sure if I want to wait on reviews.

Anyone got a lead on a good place to get a Men's villain t-shirt? There are tons of womens ones. Looking for a good Scar, Davy Jones, or Shere Kahn. Maybe even a Black Pearl or Dead Men Tell No Tales. Just not a lot of good choices for men

I love TeePublic for both men's and women's shirts!

If we do this, it will be August 8. I plan to hold off purchasing until at least the first couple of nights have happened to see how crowded it actually winds up being.

So... let's speculate a little.

IF (key word) we believe Disney's website speak to be intentionally accurate (another key word)....

Regular DAH: this event is your chance to enjoy over 25 popular attractions and Character Greetings with little to no wait time.

Villains DAH: this event is your chance to access over 20 attractions with low wait times


Which "5" attractions get the ax?

Ha! I was wondering this today. Well, it's not HM, JC, PotC, SDMT, or SM because those are all specifically mentioned by name.

I'm also hoping not Splash or Big Thunder.

Forgive me for this probably dumb question that I'm guessing is answered somewhere, but we've never even been to WDW since FP+ and are pretty clueless.

If we do not use a regular park ticket on the day of the party, opting to use just the DAH ticket instead, can we make FP+ reservations that day starting at 7:00? We have 8 day PH+ tickets that are spanning across 9 days. This would be the only day we don't actually use a real ticket entry - planning to do Typhoon Lagoon earlier, then DAH.

Thanks, and sorry for my cluelessness!

I am guessing the characters got the ax since Disney considers their characters attractions sometimes.

I don't know what is regularly open on DAH. But I'm hoping it's rides like Barnstormer, magic carpets, Astro orbiter, and speedway. Those would be the ones I'd skip. I like JC and ITSW, but i wouldn't ride it during one of these events. I'd ride it on a regular day, when I had plenty of time.

FYI, the attraction list of what has generally been open at regular DAH to date can be found on Post #5: https://www.disboards.com/threads/d...-faq-discussion-thread.3713652/#post-59898147

Well, if we count Mickey and Tink as 2, the Princess Fairytale Hall sides as 2, and Ariel - that's 5 'attractions.' Could be.

Yes, you can. You may have to make your first one starting before 7 to get all 3 scheduled. My first one starts like at 6:30. So I will still have 30 minutes to get there.

We all know how Disney likes to stretch things

Thank you! This is what I was hoping. It only saves like $16 at this point (2 of us, and it would be the 9th day), but I didn't want to spend $16 for nothing.

Maybe I am just too cheap and/or don’t get all the villains stuff, but am I the only person that finds it funny they are selling special treats and drinks at an event where they give away ‘free’ ice cream and sodas? That part of it seems so funny/odd to me.

I know what you mean. I was ok(ish) with the villains stuff but the addition of the specials treats "feels" like a test to see if folks go for this and then they can get rid of the free stuff. I'm probably wrong but it definitely makes me wonder. I also don't think the treats look that good either except maybe the maleficent cone.

Thia is the only option for our trip so I'm on the fence about it. We had so much fun at the regular AH event, I'm worried we won't like it.

Yeah, they’ll let you make FPs. I would caution to keep an eye on for any emails from Disney about insufficient ticket media and a warning about fixing or they’ll cancel your last day of FPs. There are some situations/combinations of factors that can cause you to get this warning, but exactly why has never truly been determined. It’s also not all that common, but just keep an eye out and if you get an email, pay attention to it.

We see this more with MNSSHP and MVMCP where there is a very large volume of people booking FPs with event tickets and inevitably you see a report or two, but the same thing can happen with DAH too.

Hope that helps.
