Ah ok. You were counting from 7 when they let people in. My mistake as you said you're not an AP holder. Forecast had storms til 9 so I went at 930 for the exclusive time. Then a quick surprise storm made things weird and I didn't have time to hit all the big rides. I understand shutting slinky at that point, but it not coming up for another hour and a half over lightning mixed out really messed up the rest of the event for me. This is only because I'm a pass holder and could do all of the rides at the party for the cost of G+ and an ILL for rise on any other day. If not for the weather I think it would have been a great event. I may try again next year if they are still ongoing. Also I'm glad you had a good time. The Epcot event sounds amazing as well

Yes we must have been at the same event as Slinky was down most of the night. Now that you mention it, I do believe they were only running the left size of Toy Story Mania, so that is my mistake. We arrived at 7:15pm. We did: • Star Tours (no wait) • Falcon (20 min) • Swirling Saucers (no wait) (9pm park closing) • Toy Story Mania (10 mins) • Rise (no wait) • Mickey & Minnie (no wait) • Tower (no wait) • Toy Story Mania again (10 mins) • Slinky (10 mins) — admittedly we lucked out as it came online right we were exiting TSM At EPCOT they were at least running all sides of Guardians, Remy, and Soarin'. That's where my mind was when I typed the post.

Do you mean the deluxe after hours or the DAH events? On Wed the 4th at DHS DAH I'm pretty sure they were running TSM with only one track while Slinky was down most of the night and other rides were in and out of service. Slinky likely went down due to weather early on but didn't come back up until midnight. If you were at the same event then I'm curious to hear what your order of operations was. I chose poorly

Thank you! That's awesome to know.

It's both an opportunity cost (missing a free perk) and cost ($600 for fam of 4) would drive me to EEH.

If you had to choose between deluxe after hours at a park or pay for an after hours party, which would you do?

mattpeto25 days ago

Same story as summer too. Not doing a DHS AH on a EEH night.

Scar Junior25 days ago

This is almost the exact same story for us! We're ending up at Riviera presumably that weekend too.

Yes, Cosmic Rewind shifts to a standby queue during After Hours at EPCOT.

wedenterprises27 days ago

Does Guardians move to a standby line for this event?

Rivergirl0527 days ago

Sadly that didn't work, I think I'm going to have to call or use the chat to figure it out

Ayla27 days ago

Try logging out and back in.

Rivergirl0527 days ago

Sadly it is not...I have registration number but it won't let me link it via the app

pigglewiggle27 days ago

It should be under tickets and passes.
