The Magic Kingdom After Hours event on March 24 has sold out.

Deluxe Extended Hours are built in to your stay. As long as you have a ticket for the day, stay at a deluxe hotel, and extended hours are offered for a specific park, you have access to Deluxe Extended Hours. After Hours events are separately ticketed.

Thank you for the quick reply :)

No, these are two completely separate events.

I saved up enough to stay in a deluxe hotel for the first time in my life. I was looking forward to extended hours , does after hours coincide with the deluxe extended hours? I guess what I am asking is should I expect huge crowds for deluxe after hours. Also when will they announce deluxe after hours for mid May I make dining reservations next week & wanted to plan accordingly without having to buy park hopper

March 3 Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom Reaches Capacity - What's Still Available https://www.wdwmagic.com/events/disney-after-hours/news/28feb2025-early-march-disney-after-hours-at-magic-kingdom-reaches-capacity---whats-still-available.htm

yeah, definitely for us - and to be there later (especially in the summer) is nice. It's just a very pleasant experience to not have to deal with crowds walking between things and just getting on rides with no wait (or even SDD that had a bit of a wait, the line moved and felt very short). And without buying LLMP/SP probably not getting on a ton more than the 8 rides we did unless really there rope drop to close anway. Obviously miss out on shows and stuff like that though Definitely has it's place and not for everyone but works for some

That's true but I think this offering is directed to people who are bothered more by crowds than by price. All the comments about price per ride and declining attendance don't register with those people. They are likely to disregard the first factor and consider the second as a positive.

I think it really depends on how this fits into your vacation. If you get in at 7:00 you can have dinner at a TS restaurant and then get on all the rides with no wait. Ending by not having to deal with huge crowds waiting for Fantasmic would be a plus.

Beware of block pricing… I feel like I’ve said that “once or twice” for the last 18 years or so…

$15 was for the plebs… …they’re “luxury now” 🙄

And let's not even bring up E-Ride Nights...

Nudge,Nudge! Looks like the crowd is getting use to a Daytime ticket and a separate Nighttime ticket. Guess there won't be any surprise when it happens.
