Hollywood Studios After Hours

[NotTheBatesMotel]

Hi all,
We're going to one of the HS After Hours events in January. I noticed on the ride list for the HS AH event that Tower of Terror and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster aren't listed. I know at old HS AH events both rides were available, but this was before the addition of Runaway Railway and Galaxy's Edge. Do you think they'll still run them or do you think they'll be closed since they're not listed? Obviously we won't know for sure until the events start but I'm curious what your guess is!

If they’re not listed I would go preparing for them to not be running. If they are, great surprise but if both aren’t listed I’m pretty sure they’ll be closed.

But they will be open up until normal closing time: I would guess 9:00(?).

Yes, you may get in line for any attraction up until 1 min before official park closing. If DHS closes at 9:00PM then you may join a line until 8:59 and normally the posted wait times are inflated so we ignore those.

That advertisement for it says”And More!” they are saying more rides than what is listed

The picture advertising for the AH event even shows ToT. Surely it will be open! We all need to email Disney to get them to pass it on to the suits!

My personal take, if you look at the MK description is says the following:

Enjoy more than 20 attractions—with lower wait times! While subject to change, these may include:

• Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin
• Haunted Mansion
• “it’s a small world”
• Jungle Cruise
• Peter Pan’s Flight
• Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
• Space Mountain

And many more!

I'm sure one could pick and choose and expose things that are not on that list, like Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, People Mover etc. What's interesting is that MK's AF details out the number of attractions, while HS does not


While one would think ToT and RnR would be listed, like @scrappinginontario said, expect them not to be there and be surprised when they are.

Anyone know if we will be able to buy an $ILL for a return time between 7:00-9:00pm? I think fStpasses were available during this time a few years ago, but now I assume you need a park pass to book now...unless the after hours ticket enables this?

We're 2 weeks out from the first date, which luckily I will happen to be at. I've never been to AH at DHS, and I believe this is the first one since Galaxy'S Edge (?).

I'm looking at thoughts on strategies with regards to hitting each ride once.

Of note Fantasmic now has its second showing at 9:30. AH is 9:30-12:30 with 7:00 entrance allowed.

I was thinking of leaving Tot and Rnrc until after 10:00 due to Fantasmic crowds and possibly people trying to ride those just before Fatasmic.

At 7:00, without G+, I was thinking of doing low wait rides like Star Tours, Muppets, and maybe saucers?

I have no idea what Rise times will be like...will it get down to 40 minutes during this event?

Can't wait for this!

For MVMCP at MK last week I was able to get an ILL for 7DMT as well as genie+. I’m guessing the same kind of thing would be possible for HS for DAH

Did you also have a regular park ticket and corresponding park pass reservation for that day too?

Nope. Just the party ticket for that day. Other people reported being able to do the same thing

Wow....thanks for this. I am going to try this Jan. 4th for a Rise $ILL. It's a short trip (staying onsite) and that's our only DHS day. Would love to walk right to it at 7:00pm.
