review of disney after hours for couples in magic kingdom

'Most of the crowds disperse rather quickly after the night time show with the ride lines being about 10-15 mins.' We got 4 rides over the course of a day including touring the rest of DAK for a standard daily admission last year when crowds were slightly bigger than they are now. I think guests are better off taking their chances on a normal park day, and trying to maximize the use of FP+, EMH, and early arrival/rope drop.

That then means you get maybe 1 hour of short-wait access to FoP, which probably equates to maybe 3 rides (along with 1 or 2 more if you get in the line when the event starts).įoP is definitely the best attraction in all of WDW, but being able to get 5 rides over the course of 3 hours is still not worth a $125 price tag.

So let's assume that the event runs from 9-midnight - on a typical day, FoP is still sporting a 90-120 minute line at 8:30-9:00, meaning that it will take well over an hour for regular guests to clear the line, but those with after-hours tickets will still be heading for the line, meaning that it will take almost 2 hours until the line is normalized for the smaller crowd. Is this really that much of an advantage? Unless they cut off the line to regular park guests an hour before their day ends, the standby line will not be cleared until almost 60-90 minutes after the after-hours event starts.
