"Official" 2018 Disney After Hours (DAH) Thread (Now Closed, see New 2019 Thread)

Not sure what it will be like in the Summer but for the past two years we've done this event and there has never been a line for Space Mountain. My girls have gone a ton of times with no wait

That's great news! My kids will love that. Personally, Space Mountain is my least favorite ride at MK. I'll have to find my own thing to do while they go on over and over again.

Make sure they know they don't have to go all the way around to get back on. They can walk back up a ramp when they get off and go right back on.

I have 3 FP already scheduled for our date 30th June on our regular tickets so I assume I wont be able to make 3 more for the After Hours ticket?

There's a popcorn/ice cream stand pretty much right outside Space! I just sit and enjoy and rest while they ride

 

[wmoon]

Thanks everyone. I will report back on how I get on.
DS now wants Space Mountain, DH wants splash mountain and we all want Mine train. If no Mine Train we will go for Haunted Mansion.
Shame I'm at work tomorrow, will try on the app at lunch.

Thanks for that tip. I'll ask them if they know what you're talking about.

If your afterhours ticket is linked in the same MDE account as your regular ticket, then this is a definite no.

I don't see why they wouldn't be able to get another fast pass after the 3rd is used? I am curious how that works myself, because tech its not " exclusive " till the actually time the party starts

 

[mcurrence]

You can make a 4th FP after you've gone through the first three on the day of (then fourth, fifth etc) but you can't schedule 6 for that day ahead of time...was that the original question?

A 4th FP the day of the party yes, but not 3 FP selected at 60 days out on a regular ticket and a 3 FP selected at 60 days out on a party ticket attached to the same person in the same MDE account. I'm 99.5% certain of this, but probably should ask in the FP thread.

I wouldn't have known if someone on here didn't mention it earlier this year. When you get off the ride you will either see a red or green line on the wall. If you follow that line around the corner you can walk back up a ramp and you'll be right at the spot where they do the second FP check. We went on Space 4 times in a row by doing this.

Decided against DAH on 7/21 since we are doing EMH at MK until midnight on 7/18. Not the same I know but with our little guy we just can’t make it until 1:00 am with the special event ticket cost not being worth it. So bummed but hopefully there’s a next time. Enjoy the summer DAH events everyone!

I’m sort of in the same boat. Although I think my strategy may be to put the family to bed and tip-toe out to go solo. Sorry wife/kids, maybe next time for you guys!

 

[scottishgirl1]

Thanks for all the answers re FP, didnt think I would get 6 prebooked but thought I may as well check. I have TS mania and 2 others booked for my date which is 30th june so will keep these and head to MK later. Couldnt get Slinky Dog at 60 days out but hope to see the new area anyway.

 

[HappyGrape]

Booked for 30th of June - treat for my 40th birthday! So looking forward for that!

 

[PatMcDuck]

Hey HappyGrape, I am going on June 30th too, for my 60th birthday! We are twins! Sortof. Haha. Am to Studios for Toy Story opening, then rest up for the after hours party.

 

[HappyGrape]

we will spends some time at AK in the morning and chill out after. I don't think my family can handle day one of Toy story! Say hi if you recognize me - the dress in my profile is family joke, it's my theme park uniform

I bought this and I also have extra magic hours till 1am on my first day at magic kingdom. The way I look at it is that I’d rather go home earlier and get some sleep for the next day or do something else that night like go to the boardwalk.

So in my case the extra magic hours didn’t affect my decision. Still bought it

Just a quick update to say mde let me book fastpasses for the date of the event. We are onsite and 60 days out and we have no other Disney tickets on our account for this year. Only package tickets for an onsite stay next year that are not valid till our check in date (uk booking).so it must be based on the dah ticket.
We booked Space Mountain 6.30, Splash mountain 7.30 and mine train8.40. I was out voted about HM. So here’s hoping we get in at 7.
Thanks for all your advice.

Thanks for posting that info.
