News 'Disney After Hours' ticketed event

[wdwmagic]

So essentially a full day's admission price - for three hours?

Yeah, no. I'll wait for EMH and plan my days accordingly. Sorry, Disney.

EDIT: To be fair, I have done one Christmas Party in the past... But that at least had value added; free cookies and hot chocolate, party on Main St., much longer hours, etc.)

Not quite. It is from 7pm and then three hours after regular close. From previous nights, everything after park close is walk on. Might be worth it to some.

For the 19th, the official hours are "9:00 AM to 8:00 PM" so you essentially get essentially 4 hours.

If you're a resort guest, you get EMH which is "8:00 AM to 9:00 AM" so essentially, 8am to 8pm - 12 hours.

Doesn't seem like a bargain to me. But I stand corrected; there's ice cream and beverages added.

The biggest appeal is that it’s all walk on.

In three hours with virtually no wait, how many times can you ride 7DMT or SM or Big Thunder?

In a twelve hour day with about an hour wait at each of those, you can ride those rides the same amount of times. The difference is that with the night hours, there is no waiting. With the regular day-ticket, there is 11 hours of standing on line.

Yeah, there's that. I guess if you must go on those dates, that's a good option to have. These extra hours all feel like such a sham though, since so much of the parks are closed, regardless.

That really depends on the time of year you're there... I've been there plenty of times where wait times were not bad at all to begin with.

I'm all for that considering everytime I go it is so busy over in the Magic Kingdom which is why I'm glad I'm getting a chance to do this.

I'm going to Magic Kingdom next Friday during the day. If the fireworks don't actually start until 8pm, and the "extra hours" start at 8pm, how does that exactly work? Do they allow people in to watch the fireworks? Also, how does Disney know who has the extra hours and who doesn't? Wouldn't it be easy to just stick around after the fireworks?

Help me understand how they manage all the people coming in and leaving at the same time?

You can enter the park at 7pm with an event ticket.

You need a wrist band to enter any attraction after park close at 8pm

Why not unlimited popcorn plus ice cream?

 

[Tony the Tigger]

It sounds almost like a holiday party without a specific holiday.

Seems like it can be a decent value and a different experience versus paying almost the same amount for a one day MK ticket.

And without a parade, fireworks, special character M&Gs, Equity show in front of the Castle...

Other than that, sure, it’s a 3-hr MNSSHP.

I guess those matter to some people.

The difference is that there's no special entertainment and the crowd is much, much, much less... er, fewer... er, not as much.

I miss E-Ride Nights...

Sounds good to me!

 

[I am Timmy]

Wait, so people can't get on rides after 8pm without a wristband, but they can still stay in the park?

 

[vinnyv07]

If they lowered the price down to $75, I bet more people would buy in.

 

[Gelatoni]

Anyone know how many tickets they sell to these and did any sell out last year.

 

[ToTBellHop]

It sold out at the current price.

 

[Vipor51]

I am heading to after hours on the 19th being tomorrow. Anyone know how many tickets sold = sold out?
