VAH or Regular AH?

[Soph&HanMom]

I will be taking 3 college girls in March for spring break. We want to do one after hours event and DAH will be offered on Monday and VAH is on Wednesday. Which would you recommend?
I’ve read reviews and attended a regular MK AH but I’ve never done Villains.

I’m trying to decide if the stage show and dragon are worth the difference in price.

Depends on what you/they like. I don’t like to stand around watching stage shows, so that would not be a priority to me. Someone else might love watching them. Some pick a spot to watch the parade an hour ahead. I think the parade is a great chance for shorter lines at attractions.
Just go with what you think you’d enjoy.

It definitely depends. We are doing VAH. We chose it because
1. We are villains fans
2. It has an edgier, more grown up vibe (think rock music laser lights, ect)
3. You do not have to sacrifice ride time for the show. There is a 1am show as the event ends.

You may want to choose DAH if
1. You don't care about villians
2. Are looking for a calmer, more laid back experience
3. Want traditional MK music

Reports Have been that the VAH events in the summer were more crowded than regular after hours. There were only a few of these offered on a limited basis however. It will be interesting to see if that bears out going forward. I tend to think it may balance out a little more given the fact that there is one DAH and one VAH every week, and VAH costs $20 pp more.

I am definitely leaning towards Villians. It is being offered our last night and I am going with 3 nineteen year olds....one of which is a first- timer.
I attended regular AH solo in August and rode rides completely by myself. It was worth every penny.

There isn't a parade at the villains event, you can catch maleficent "walking" around but that's it (and you don't have to stand around and wait, we just saw it walking around to different attractions)
