If they had Butterbeer at Epcot, I'd never leave.

Has anyone been let in BEFORE 6:30pm? Like say.... 6:20pm? Haha... or has 6:30 been the earliest
Were you allowed to stay on BTMR or did you have to walk around each time? I'm just curious.Attended the Feb. 7th DAH at MK.... absolutely worth it! We arrived at about 6:15 and were told we couldn't enter until 7:00 (annoying now that I see others were allowed to enter at 6:30). However, we had an extra day pass so we used it to enter right away. We did some shopping along Main Street and made our way slowly towards Splash Mountain by 7:10. It was a 30 minute wait, so we decided to just get in line anyway. It was just me and my granddaughter, and she had never been up in the treehouse, so after Splash, that's where we headed. We were at the top when the fireworks started, and had a somewhat blocked view. Only stayed there for a few minutes before heading back down and jumped on Pirates with no wait. By then the party was officially "on" - we did Aladdin, Haunted Mansion, IASW, Carousel, Peter Pan, and the teacups. Headed to 7Dwarfs, and were the next to load in the car when it went down. So disappointed as that was my DGD's favourite ride. Headed over to Buzz, again, walk on. Rode the People Mover, then headed back to Big Thunder. Rode Big Thunder 5 times in a row, all with no wait. So in total, 14 rides in 3 hours, with 3 snack breaks. I may never do MK during the day again!
I don't believe it was down during our night.Have there been any DAH events when 7 Dwarfs didn't go down? Why does this seem to be such a problem on DAH nights?
I think this current batch of DAH they have stuck strictly to 6:30 pm.Has anyone been let in BEFORE 6:30pm? Like say.... 6:20pm? Haha... or has 6:30 been the earliest
I have a question about FastPass and DAH. I know it’s not available during the event. I just got an email about booking fast passes, but we don’t have regular park tickets. We are coming over for a one night quick trip just for DAH. Am I able to book them for times between 7-10 (our DAH is a 10-1)? Has anyone had experience with this? Is this something I can book with no issue, or will they come back and cancel them? Thanks in advance!!
Yes, you can book fastpasses on a DAH ticket. People who have purchased DAH as part of a bigger trip have occasionally reported receiving emails from Disney threatening to cancel fastpasses (and I think a few have actually had them follow through on that threat), but where you are only going for the day and don't have any other tickets to mess with, I see no reason not to make them. I can't imagine you'll have the same problem as others and even if you do, what was the harm in trying?
Nice! Disney is usually very willing to make things rightJust to follow up on my post from the other day regarding the Feb 7th DAH event, I sent an email to guest relations, informing them of my disappointment, especially with the Seven Dwarfs ride breaking down. I was surprised to receive a phone call from a cast member who was very understanding and apologetic. He is giving me a gift card to cover half the cost of the event, which I appreciate.
2/21 has a start time of 9PM.The 'official' park entry time per Disney is 7:00 pm, regardless of the actual start time of the Disney After Hours event.
I'll repeat that just for clarity - ALL DAH event dates allow for official park entry at 7:00 pm, regardless of the DAH event hours on that date.
UPDATE AS OF DECEMBER 2018: Disney has been holding to the published 7pm entry time for 11/26/18+ event dates. At some past events they let people in more like 6pm, but the current trend seems to be more towards 7pm - so plan accordingly.
UPDATED FROM 1/9/2019 EVENT: DISers reported being let in approx 6:30pm.
Hi all! The DAH this Thursday and next Thursday (2/14 & 2/21) have official starting times of 8pm. Given advice of GADisneyDad14 quoted above, attendees should still be able to get in at 7:00, and maybe even 6:30 based on reports of recent MK DAH attendees. Anyone who attends this Thursday please report what time they started letting DAH guests in, so that people going the following Thursday will know if this still holds true. Thanks!!
2/21 has a start time of 9PM.
We bought tickets for it and I was able to do 3 FP+ on the ticket (I put the first from 6:25-7:25--so if we get let in at 6:30 or at 7, we can make that first one! Then 7:25-8:25PM and the last is 8:30-9PM) Our AP's expire on 2/19--so we have no other FP after that date.
Were you allowed to stay on BTMR or did you have to walk around each time? I'm just curious.
As long as you go through the “event entrance” where the cms are giving wristbands you will be okayHi all...if I have non-expiring tickets in my MDE and link the DAH ticket as well, will the tapstile just 'know' not to use the non-expiring ticket for entry into the park? We won't be visiting any other parks on the day we are doing the DAH event, so I'm concerned that the tapstile will use the wrong ticket.
Okie dokie. I was just curiousThe straight answer is they will make you walk around, but I’ve been when they have let us stay on ...depends on CM/situation

No, we had to walk around each time, as there were others waiting to load. We almost had a re-ride, but at the very last second, about 10 to 12 people came down the ramp so we had to exit.
So would it be safe to make a dining reservation for 7:00?I think this current batch of DAH they have stuck strictly to 6:30 pm.
