There's a list? We're going 9/20 as well. Can we be on the list? Are people meeting up or anything? I'll be the one in the light up skirt!

Sure, it’s just an informal guest list that I keep updated on Post #2. I’ll get you added.

No meetup or anything, it’s just for fun.

The website has been doing this on and off the past couple of days for me..I spoke to a CM about a dining reservation this AM and asked them to check for the 9/20 event and she said there were definitely tickets still available for the event ...I have a feeling it's like GADisney said, they might be trying to load future events

Wonder if they are maybe doing something with some winter dates on the website. They were announced last year in early Sept. Or def could be a glitch!

Oh please , oh please let it be new dates for January or February. I’m trying to decide on a trip for late January or early February & knowing if they are doing this will help me decide.

Can you add me to the list as well please? We're doing this, the TS AP event, and MNSSHP on back-to-back days...hope we don't regret it!

Oh geez if they add January and February dates Dh might not be happy because I would definitely be asking to go again lol

Hypothetical here;

Annual pass runs out in December but Winter DAH tickets are purchased prior to expiration for a date in Jan, Feb or March.

Any repercussions if someone didn't renew their pass, yet attended the events with a discounted ticket linked the the MDE app? I doubt it but curious nonetheless.

 

[kimmyg26]

I'm hoping the 20th doesn't sell out. I am at 95% sure we are going to go. We are doing the Halloween party the next night.
I have truly been on the fence about going but it just seems like a perfect night.

Nah. I bought tix with my AP discount and attended two parties in July after it expired.

8/30 report

We had gone all day and had several in our party who would probably would have liked to tap out even before the event due flying in late the night before, little sleep, rope dropping DHS, heat, too much walking.

We did the before garden view dessert party which gave our group some time off their feet and some power napping in the garden. It was kind of dumb to do the dessert party because no one wanted the free ice cream during the event, some of us had some but it was not really desirable after all the desserts.


9:19 Buzz
9:32 Peoplemover (saw space with lights on, would have done space but it was down to start)
9:49 tea party
9:56 pooh
10:08 dumbo
10:18 barnstomer
10:28 ariel
10:45 drinks / ice cream
10:52 peter pan
11:05 Big Thunder 2X (the let us just stay on)
11:15 Popcorn stop
11:40 Pictures on main street

I hated to quit early but my group looked pretty haggard. I had intended to do space mountain twice and haunted mansion during the party. Before the party we did adventureland rides, splash, haunted mansion and mine train.

We did almost all the rides except Space (and the carpets ) in MK in one afternoon/evening. That could not have happened without DAH and good FP strategy. the line for snacks in tomorrowland at party start was stupid long. Since we walked from tomorrowland into fantasyland we did not see another popcorn serving cart till big thunder. There was one ice cream cart in the middle of fantasyland which seemed really spread out, nothing over by dumbo and nothing in liberty square or frontierland proper. The food was a bust for us since we had just loaded up on desserts, we did not get our monies worth but we had kinda known that going in.

I hate to even put this out in the universe, but with the current activity in the tropics, does anyone know if the DAH tix are refundable in the event of really bad weather?

 

[sophie131]

Dates are up through March 2019!!!!!

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Holy cow: Dec - March dates!

 

[Chisoxcollector]

Looks like the new dates are $125, and $95 for passholders. $6 more than the previous batch of dates.

I doubt they will refund , but thinking about it, this is the first time this has been offered during the “rainy” months. Fingers crossed we get good weather but if not we’ll still enjoy in ponchos! Lol

I'll work on updating Post #1 later, but new bookable dates:

• Monday, December 3, 2018 - 10pm-1am
• Monday, December 10, 2018 - 10pm-1am

• Monday, January 7, 2019 - 8pm-11pm
• Thursday, January 17, 2019 - 8pm-11pm
• Thursday, January 24, 2019 - 8pm-11pm
• Monday, January 28, 2019 - 8pm-11pm

• Thursday, February 7, 2019 - 8pm-11pm
• Thursday, February 14, 2019 - 9pm-12am
• Thursday, February 28, 2019 - 8pm-11pm

• Thursday, March 7, 2019 - 9pm-12am

And yes, a $6 price increase for the new dates. Figured that was coming at some point.

Interesting that two Dec dates were added (figured I'd be wrong again!).

Happy booking all!

I am so excited they released new dates! A little surprised so early.
I'm looking at the 2/28 date. What do you all recommend as far as booking? Is this something that will sell out months early?
Also, with an 8 - 11 party, what time will they allow you to enter the park? The site say 7pm, but with 8, 9 and 10pm parties that doesn't seem accurate for every party night.

All DAH dates, regardless of time, allow for official park entry at 7pm. In practice, they have typically been letting DAH ticket holders in around 6pm, again, regardless of the actual DAH event time.

Also, the table on Post 1 has sell out date info/history, for what it’s worth.

Hope that helps!

I just booked my DAH tickets for January 28th! So excited!!!

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Post #1 has been updated with the latest info. Many thanks to @sophie131 for the heads up!

 

[GADisneyDad14]

I am excited for the release of January 2019 dates! However, it is also causing some anxiety, with some unanswered questions. Such as: Will @GADisneyDad14 start a new 2019 DAH thread, keep this one going, or abandon us altogether???

Well, I had wanted to start a new thread but with Disney announcing Dec-March dates, it has made the cut-off more tricky!
