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

[Rowlf the Dog]

Was at the event on 3/21. The long downtime of SDMT, which I hoped to ride multiple times, was a big letdown. Nevertheless I could rode it 3 times but have to give up WTP and PPF this time.
Beginning on 9:30: 1 x PoC, 2 x BTM (both times last row and one time during fireworks), 2 x Splash, 1 x HM, 1 x BLSR, 2 x SM, 1 X VotLM, 3 x SDD (on the last train of the night)
All in all, not as much as I hoped for, but then I got pictures sitting on a complete empty Main Street and standing in front of the partner statue as I was the last guest in the park - and this was realy worth it.

Since DHS after hours was moved to Friday nights for May & June, do you think it's likely that DAH at MK will be moved to Saturdays for the summer as it was in 2018?

Why no June at MK? There are no dates while we are there at all

I feel your pain (we must be going at the same time). The lack of them at DHS my week isn’t giving me hope we will get one at MK.

Yah, I could care less about DHS lol. I either want MK or AK and neither are during my trip.

Interesting observation.

I am really hoping they have one on Saturday, 7/6. They had one last year on the same day. It would fit perfectly into my plans!

I was pretty much giving up on it, since they've been on Thursdays lately. I do hope that changes!!

Great chart !!! Looking at it - do you think July dates will be like last year - on Saturdays? or they might stick with Thursdays?

Interesting observation.

I'm wondering if they will be moved to Thursday (after looking at the chart).

This table resides in Post #13, but I've updated it with today's release. I find year-over-year comparisons and trends interesting when it comes to these special events.

Me too! There are no AK dates listed our week. Have they ever added more to a month after they have already released dates ?

Attended last night 3/28(sold out) and had a great time!
Went in about 645 and got wrist band. The park was crazy crowded!!
Did Pirates with FP
Decided to eat at Pecos Bill. It took an hour!! Something was wrong and they kept giving people the wrong food and folks were yelling at CMs. Crazy town!
After that all was great!!
Rode BTMR with FP. Line was backed up but only waited about 15 min.
Watched HEA
Did SDMT FP
Party time!!
-Under the Sea-walk on
-Barnstormer x 2-walk on and rode without getting off
-Snacks
-3 of us rode Space (10 min wait) and 2 rode Buzz x 3-walk on
-Snacks
-Haunted Mansion-walk on
-10 yo wanted to do the shooting gallery, so we did that for about 10 minutes.
-BTMR x 3 -walk on (They opened the second side)
-Snacks( so many snacks ugh)
-Buzz-walk on
-People Mover-walk on
-Met up with our teens who had ridden Space 6 or so times plus Astro Orbiter
-Snacks
-Peter Pan right at 1-walk on
SDMT had a huge line all night so didn’t ride but that’s why we had done a FP earlier.
We had a great night and it went by so fast! Snack lines were short.
Only waited about 10 min for our bus which we(BWI) shared with S and D.
Would definitely do it again!!
Happy to answer any questions!

Why no June at MK? There are no dates while we are there at all

I have hope they will add June soon.

 

[MouseTriper]

Anyone know the email address for guest relations regarding this event?

I thought June dates were posted?? I was upset when I seen nothing past June and made a note in my calendar to check back the middle of June for fall dates. Looking at what Disney has done in the past, fall dates should be released May/June. Now I know I work too much but I know I seen June dates this week I believe it was Tuesday because I was off this day!!!????

I am actually hoping to go the same night, but we can rest assured that there will NOT be DAH on the Thursday that week (July 4th)...

No June dates as of yet at MK. There are dates in June for AK and DHS.

Thanks for all the reports and info. This thread is very helpful. Going to this event on 4/11 during a work trip. Haven't been to Disney in about 8.5 years. A lot is different!

Yep. I'm hoping MK is open until 1am on the 4th like it was last year!
