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

[Rick195275]

@AntJulie thank you!!! We were struggleing with the VAH since it's on a Feb 14 and I'm sure will be very busy since it's Presidents Day weekend. I can see people flying in Friday night for the VAH, but the 10th is perfect and it won't impact our Valentines Day/night plans! Yes!!!

I bought for the 14th yesterday accepting I wasn’t going to get to do regular after hours over that weekend.... looks like Disney is getting another $200 from me

More dates through May including last week of January! Mostly on Mondays.

Thank you!!! Was hoping for a Monday

 

[TISHLOVESDISNEY]

Yay! Monday March 16 is what I was hoping for!
Disney ramping 2020 up! Crazy!

@AntJulie - I’m beginning to think you are a late night WDW website stalker.... always first with the new news!

Am I the only one seeing regular DAH and villain ones going on at the same time?

I’m a little shocked if they are. But I’m more then okay with them taking some more money from me lol.

 

[Rick195275]

Anyone think there might be a chance of them adding regular DAH dates last week of January? Or is it just tough beans for those of us whose dates fall between regular DAH and VAH? I feel like calling the special events office and demanding to know WHY THEY

They are ready to take your money now!

No, you're not. I'm seeing them too! I am thrilled!

ETA: I was thrilled. They have 1 the day before we arrive and one the day after we leave. Rotten timing. But glad to see them available at least!

I’m sorry they aren’t working with your dates

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Sort of crazy Disney would offer both during the same periods of time. Gotta think that could be pretty confusing for some casual guests who aren’t focused on the details.

It happens. I'm looking at the possibility of adding a night on at the front. We're driving and pretty flexible on dates, but we're staying at the Riviera on the Disney Visa discount and there's no availability now, so the only option is to add a day on somewhere. I really, really want to do the after hours!

Guess I should have waited a couple days before booking the VAH. Doh! I think it will be fine for our family in the end, and hopefully with several dates offered for both options (Regular and Villains) it will spread out some of the crowds. Wishful thinking, but I'm going with it for now. I did notice that they are marketing the VAH as for "Teens, Adults" while the regular version is All Ages.

Dang. They're having 1 the day we leave. Oh well.

I'm hoping this takes some of the crowd pressure off of the VAH events. The VAH is all that works with my ONE day at disney so I am grateful for that but given the choice I'd choose regular.

DAH in April!!!! Our week is 10- 1, which is what we’re doing in December. The others we have done were 8-11. I‘ll have to wait til we do that one & see if my DH can make it that late..... he’s old, lol! Actually, I’m old too, but not at Disney!

I bet it will. Especially to casual Disney goers who look at the full price for each one.... save $16 a person for regular AH might sound appealing.

We are so crazy......and I love it. I just bought tickets for the regular DAH on May 11. I had already booked the Villains one on May 14 (which we haven't done yet) but called my hubby and he said we should do both since After Hours is his favorite extra event because of the low crowds and we can now concentrate our fastpasses in the other parks.

Guess I’m crazy too! I had the Villain one on May 14th already booked and just booked the 11th! And to add a little more crazy to my life, booked animal kingdom DAH for that time too!

All the money we saved from a discount pin we got via snail mail is going to end up going back to Disney for after hours lol

 

[L_MD]

This is great! Absolutely adding April 27th to my trip. That's my first full day in the parks, and I'll have to rework my itinerary a bit (including NOT waking up super early for Epcot the next morning) but I'm really excited!

So funny........I also booked us for Animal Kingdom AH on May 16. We loved AK AH.

We did May 9th! We’ve never done AK AH and we are so excited!! We actually could add the 16th to the trip, but wasn’t sure how it is. We may just need to add that one too....
