Disney After Hours offers 50% discount for Annual Passholders reducing it to just $75 plus tax for one evening of fun. After already offering the same discount for Disney Vacation Club members, the new event that gives you 3 hours of nearly unlimited rides on your favorite Magic Kingdom attractions is now reaching out to Annual Passholders to help sell tickets.
We talked about the event before, along with some of the reasons we think it might be a value. Now, if you’re an annual passholder visiting from out of town you might want to consider if this event is a value to you. You’re essentially playing for 3 hours of access to attractions with little or now wait along with some free soda and ice cream treats.
Those I’ve talked to who attended the earlier Disney After Hours events had a good time, but didn’t find it a value. However, they all lived locally, and can pretty much go whenever they want. Someone who lives away from Orlando might have a different experience.
Remaining dates are:
Thursday, April 28, 2016 from 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM
Thursday, May 5, 2016 from 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM
Sunday, May 8, 2016 from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM
Thursday, May 12, 2016 from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM
Thursday, May 19, 2016 from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM
Passholders can purchase Disney After Hours tickets for just $75 by calling (407) 560-PASS or (407) 560-7277 or by visiting any Walt Disney World ticket window. Guests under 18 years of age must have parent or guardian permission to call.
Time will tell if Disney considers this experiment a success.
(A possibly silly) Question: do they limit the amount of tickets they sell for these events? if they limit it and the “no wait times” is really true, I think it’s a value for those of us who can only get to Disney once in a blue moon. for me, personally, it’s not a value (even with the DVC discount) since we come from NJ/NY and we are already shelling out a ton of money for 7 day park hoppers with water parks tickets… I can only justify spending so much!
Not a silly question. Disney says tickets are limited, but they won’t say to how many. Previous attendees reported somewhere between 1000 and 3000 guests in park with the longest waits being for the free soda and ice cream treats.
I’ve heard a rumor of these tickets being offered for free to certain Deluxe and Moderate Resort guests? Do you have any details about this? I’ll be there for two of the DAH dates in May!
Can a Passholders buy 2 tickets and take a friend who is not a passholder, both tickets at $75?
Yes, a passholder can buy up to 4 and must show their pass to pick them up
yes.. each passholder can buy up to four tickets..
It seems pretty clear that Disney wishes they could limit the number of tickets–but have never gotten anywhere near needing / being able to do so. Disney doesn’t discount events at this level unless they are in full “recoup what little we can” mode. This offering appears to have been a colossal dud.
I think you got it in one!
