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

A 2AM EMH close after Easter?!?! Blast from the past.

I noticed that one! Amazing!

So I can expect May hours to update on about April 12?

It’s often the second Friday of the month prior, so 4/12 would be my guess. It’s sometimes the third Friday (like today, which is technically the third Friday of the month as 3/1 was a Friday).

My week starts April 28. They haven't touched those hours yet! Hoping for DAH that Thursday....

Well dang. So much for my hopes of an April 18 DAH. Time to shuffle some plans....

I am in the same boat...I am really hoping that they will release some DAH dates for after Easter week but I honestly have no sense as to whether that is going to happen at this point. I was hoping that we might have some news today but I guess it's back to waiting and lurking.

ETA NM I thought you said Easter week!

LOL...I was about to check the hours again because I thought MK closes at 9 pm every day after April 27th. Thanks for clarifying that for me .

 

[Iowamomof4]

These Easter week hours are significantly better than what they did for Thanksgiving week. IIRC, they never even had any 8 AM openings let alone 2 AM emh! It was pretty bad.

My family attended DAH at Magic Kingdom late in June of 2018. The experience was AWESOME and was glad to see Disney expand the offering for both Hollywood Studios and then Animal Kingdom. We are visiting in June again this year, and hope that Disney offers dates for each of the 3-parks while we are on property as my family enjoyed the event and thought it was a great value for the number of rides and experiences we were able to fit into the 3-hour window.

The only downside to the event was the fatigue we experienced the next day after limited sleep from getting back to the resort after 2 AM and then right back at it the next morning for Rope Drop. I will likely plan a slower morning after attending one of those events...;-)

When hours change like they just did for April...do FP+ open up in those extended hours?

Yes. Give it a day or 2. Keep checking!

Yes, I saw a report on another thread that people were seeing some new FPs already. It’s not all at once and it’s not every ride at once, so I’d keep close eye on it if you’re looking to move things around.

Yes it's a good time to grab some of those hard to get FP's like FOP and Slinky Dog.

I just found Fastpasses for two people available for FOP, in the evening, on both 4/13 and 4/14.

 

[Iowamomof4]

Yeah, according to The DIBB, it looks like most of April has opened up for FOP. Definitely a good time to check if you've been needing to move things around or score a FP.

Except for the 10th, when we’re planning on going to AK, of course

But, I’ll keep checking.

Unfortunately, you may have missed out. That week was showing all green when I posted earlier, and now it's red.

Am I looking at the charts correctly? Did they not have May 2018 dates last year? I am hoping they release some!

No they didn’t have May dates last year

That’s what I get for working
