WORD OF ADVICE: after having done Disney After Hours at HS last year and having a great time, we did the event at MK last night. I don’t want to say it was ruined, because it wasn’t (we rode 15 rides from 8PM to 12:45). But it did end on a sour note. It should NOT take 55 minutes to get from MK to your car at the TTC. No monorail and only one ferry running? Ridiculous. My tip? Only do this event at MK if you’re staying at a Disney resort with direct bus access from the front of MK.
@EarScouts6 ай бұрын
Wow - interesting! When we did it, we were staying at a resort and were bummed out that there was no monorail (we were at Poly). We had to take a bus to Poly, but it was quick at least. That’s awful that it took so long. 55 minutes feels even longer when it is after 1am. 🙁

@@EarScouts Absolutely! And getting from one area to the next is SO much faster. We've literally had the hypothetical discussion (since they don't offer it every day at every park) that if they DID offer After Hours if it would be better to ONLY do After Hours instead of regular tickets. It's not an option, and there's a lot to be said about missing a LOT of the park experience with After Hours...even with the overlapping times...from the foods to the shows that you just can't do After Hours. But SO much about EVERYTHING ELSE about the "better" of After Hours, almost might make it worth it. We usually come down for about a week or so. And we snag every After Hours we can while we're there. Sleep in, do Disney Springs, hang out at the resort...then ease over to the park. We absolutely LOVE After Hours for EVERY reason you mentioned in the video. NOT TO MENTION...on the way out, we have literally had this exchange with a popcorn guy: "Can we still get some popcorn?" "Sure! How many do you need?" "(we exchange looks, and our popcorn fiend son says) "How many can I get?" Turns out the answer was four boxes handed to him at once. No line, no crowds, and all the popcorn you can carry...it's totally worth it!! HAHA!!

We have already bought tickets for an After Hours event, but we are contemplating entering the park early that day (maybe rope drop, maybe a little after) with a regular park ticket. I understand that Genie+ is not valid during the After Hours portion of the day; but, in your opinion, would it make sense for us to buy Genie+ during the regular park hours portion (providing we enter in the morning sometime) or skip Genie+?

Yikes; I was weighing it but tickets jumped to $175 (!!) now for this event. We currently have a 4-day pass (not hopper) and plan to skip AK. So, we can either budget 2 full days at HS, or 1 full day plus purchase the nighttime pass. 3-day is about $475 and 4-day is $608 (difference of $133). Plus with a full day we'd be definitely buying 2 ILL and 2 Genie+. Question one: Does Disney even allow you to back down the number of days (I am staying on property at Art) - five nights with a 4-day pass. I am considering switching to a 3-day and adding the nighttime pass. My (adult) son mostly wants to experience Star Wars stuff and I'm worried about the stress of ILL and G+ and all that on a regular day, so I'm trying to figure out which way to go. I don't care as much about missing the shows, but we could grab one from 7:00-9:00 I guess. Plus to complicate matters, we're visiting the week of March 18 (high crowds predicted). HS nighttime is on a Wednesday. Second question: do you recommend regular park-goers AVOID the park that has a night event as it will get more crowded from 7-9p when you're trying to squeeze in the last rides? Thanks for advice!

Hey Rob, was hoping for some more insight on booking LL’s with a group of 8 (two families of 4). We’ll be travelling together, but I’m wondering if there’s value in linking our MDE profiles to book attractions as 8 people or whether this will be a hindrance. Will we be able to select just a portion of the group for a LL or do we always need to select all 8? I just think leaving it as two separate MDE groups could mean we aren’t getting close to same return times especially for competitive rides at the 7am opening selection time. I would really appreciate any insight.

@EarScouts7 ай бұрын
Hello! First off, thanks for watching our videos! I think it’s best to only choose one at 7 am because you can’t see return times during that first 15 minutes or so. For that reason, there’s no point in having more than 1 because it will just add clutter. Once you can see return times, I think it can be good to have 2-3 selected to give you more chances to score a good return time. More than 3 means you might miss out on a good time because you have to sift through them and may not tap through fast enough. Good luck with those Genie Slots! 🧞♂️🎰

Some rides like TRON will have a Rider Switch Setup station set up before you reach the entrance. As for Genie, they usually want each person to tap in when they ride, not all at once when the first person rides. Hope that helps.
