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

[GADisneyDad14]

Any thoughts on if they will release any February DAH? We were really hoping for 1 on 2/27. We prefer to do AK during the day so we can see all of the animals.

I would say it’s almost a lock, given the time of year and history of offering them that time of year. The only question will be when they add them. Might be awhile.

A surprise update re: AP Villain ornament

Much to my surprise, 2 ornaments magically arrived via UPS today (1 for me and 1 for DS). We both attended the first Villain DAH and had called the passholder line weeks ago requesting they be mailed to us. TBH, I had forgotten all about them.

Is the Tangled lantern PhotoPass available during after hours? Trying to figure out if we should grab a spot in line during fireworks or if we can wait until after hours to do it.

It traditionally has been for regular DAH. Hopefully we’ll get some reports once DAH starts back up again to make sure that’s still accurate.

We’re going tonight, so I’ll keep a lookout and report back!

Wow - I forgot today was the day they start back again. Hope you have fun!

So anxious to hear crowd reports from tonight! I’ll be there September 26 - hoping the crowds aren’t like the VAH crowds!!

 

[mcurrence]

Hoping everyone has a wonderful time tonight!

Also hoping everything goes back to normal! I'm pretty sure summer plus villains contributed to the higher crowds.

That’s the second report I’ve heard of this! Did they tell you they were going to mail them when you called? I ask because I made 3 phone calls and all 3 CMs told me I was out of luck, so wondering if I should call again or if they are automatically mailing them to all the early party-goers?

Yes I called and the CM told me I would get them in about 2 weeks. That was about 2 months ago, lol. But now that the parties are over, I guess that’s why they were so late. I would call the passholder line and see if its still possible to have them mailed.

Holy cow! So empty!!! Stayed on both big thunder and splash. Walked on every ride, including mine train.

Yes, they had the lantern photopass.

Best money I've ever spent at disney!

Agreed!! Crowds felt pretty similar to the AK After Hours earlier this week. I’ll post a full review in a day or two once we’re home.

How was the FOP wait at your AKAH? Asking cause I'm going to both MK and AK AHs next week on vacation and I primarily want to ride FOP a bunch of times.

There wasn’t a wait, but they do make you sit through all the preshows. It took us about 15 minutes from entrance to getting through the preshows onto the ride. Since you have to sit through preshows and the ride queues are long and the ride is long, we did 2 rides in an hour.

Interestingly, I got an email to do a survey about the event, but ended up being excluded from eligibility because I didn’t go to Villains AH as well.

Definitely looks like they’re trying to compare the two and figure out what to do in the future.

What time did they let y'all into the event?

 

[caitycaity]

Not sure. I got there at 8:15.

So we were planning on going to the MK AH in Feb. from last year it looked like it would be on a Thursday. Well the new set of dates came out and no MK for Feb YET...but the AKAH is now on Thursday. So here is my question is the even a chance they will do an AK AH and a MK AH both on Thursdays? Afraid I already know the answer. Thanks,

I'm really hoping they will b/c I think we are doing a US after hours event on the Friday and Saturday of our trip.
