If mine wasn't tall enough to ride something featuring her favorite character, I would just wait until she was tall enough to go. It's not like height requirements are hidden or a surprise.
If patterns for After Hours events continue into August, Monday will be after Hours at MK and Wednesday at HS. Depending what you plan to do those days, I wouldn’t expect queue times to drop as much prior to normal closing.
Locker access after will be interesting if they choose to share exits. I don't know how many people carry their wallets on rides. But those that don't have a wallet or magicband will automatically skip purchasing unless they want to backtrack. We've skipped purchases many times at other parks...
I was wondering if it had to do with getting bands scheduled for that long. 14yo wants to see Journey, Survivor, Billie Elish, 3 Days Grace, or John Mellencamp there. Someone needs a small reality check lol
I think my favorite canopy/shade providing element I've seen is the kites at Dollywood this past summer. It didn't entirely cover the ground, but also gave a fun shadow midday.
