We had the absolute best time last night at the AH and feel it was an excellent value for what we wanted and what we got out of it.
Party of five, two adults, three kids (14, 12 and 8.) My girls are the teens and my son is the youngest.
We wanted to ride the rides with little waiting and wanted time to just hang out and enjoy Star Wars with low crowds and less busyness. We feel last night checked all of our boxes.
I think we had a successful night because it rained most of the day and by the time HS closed, waits were already pretty low it felt most of the daytime crowds were gone before it started.
Biggest praise - they were checking bands everywhere we went.
Biggest complaint - wish they held the snack carts open at least five minutes after the event closed.
Biggest surprise - no wait times on the app from 9:30-10:00 so it made it hard to get an idea of what was still happening.
Here’s how our evening went - grabbed an afternoon boarding group to Guardians. Got in the queue at 7:50 and the ride went down. They closed the ride for the night about 8:20 and gave us two free LL. We walked back to Remy and used it there then caught the skyliner to HS.
9:21 for our wristbands and tapped into the park.
Ate dinner at Woody’s - lots of wristband checks happening

**we took a big break to get light saber pictures done. At this point, Chewy was out for pictures. He saw my middle daughter who was disneybounding as Darth Vader and had a five minute interaction with her. He got on to her, then had her stand still while he went and got Rey. Then the three of them had a big conversation about her poor life choices. It was absolutely amazing and worth every penny just for that!**
Grabbed more snacks, watched the Green Men drummers.

We could have ridden one more time but opted to grab waters instead and head on out.
We had done TT earlier in our vacation so we didn’t feel the need to ride again but saw it posted about 10-15 the whole night.
We did six rides, got three snack breaks, had a fabulous character interaction and really enjoyed the cooler weather.
All in all, we thought it was a great choice for our family and a great last day of our trip. I do see though how it can go less well for other people’s experiences though, so if you’re still considering it, just know things that make it a good night may be out of your control.
