I loved Magic Kingdom After Hours during my trip this year. It was just such a wonderful experience seeing the park at night, and the fact that nearly all of my favourite rides are more or less walk-on's, those 2 reasons alone make it well worth it in my opinion. I was a bit tired the following morning, due to myself not getting back to my hotel til half 1 in the morning, and I only got 3 and a half hours sleep, because I had to be up early next day, but again, worth it. I'm doing the event again, same time next year, can't wait!
I watched a lot of your tips and tricks videos leading up to our Disney Vacation and we were there this same night! Too bad I didn't run into you to thank you in person, but your videos helped my family have an amazing time at Disney World. Thanks for everything you do!
We did MK After Hours last year and it was such a great way to get all the rides done during a very busy week! I love Disney World, but large crowds can be very over stimulating for me sometimes. Being there for AH and the low crowds was amazing! Worth every penny!
Yes - there are a lot of reasons to love After Hours and this is a big one. It’s nice to experience the parks in a low-key, low-crowd way. Thanks for watching! 😃
My daughter wanted to do the Peoplemover all day but we were busy with other rides and shows until right before park closing so me and my daughter, 6 yo, walked over by ourselves and rode it. I'll never forget how happy it made her. We will do it that way every time we go
New videos from you guys always make me smile!! My fiancé and I are going to Disney World for our honeymoon in September (he hasn't been since 2007!), and I've been showing him alllll of your videos as we prepare! Ear Scouts is the best! 🥰
We hope you have a spectacular honeymoon! Also, we hope he is blown away by all the amazing new things at the parks. It really is a whole new world (pun intended 😂). Thanks for watching! 😃
I wish we could upload more, too. 😕Unfortunately, these videos take forever to edit with all the music and graphics. And we also both have day jobs, so we can never do as many as we’d like to. That said, we are now making special videos just for Patreon, so you can get a little more content over there. We focus on shorter content that we can do with less intensive editing on Patreon. Thanks for watching! 😃
Hi Rod, Jim again. Can't believe time went this quick. Just wanted to let you know I've just purchased our After Hours tickets for this coming January. Can't wait. 😀
We’re Patreon fans who did the extended evening hours using 7 months of watching your strategies. We had walk-ons to Peter Pan, Haunted Mansion, and our OWN BOAT of Pirates. Love ya guys. ~M
It's definitely a fun event. Hollywood Studios was my favorite this year just because of all the amazing and unique characters this year. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for all your content. Just got back from our Disney trip and watched all your park videos for strategies with and without genie +. The info made it so much less stressful to plan out our day. We had the best vacation. After hours looks awesome. 😊
Hey Ear Scouts! My name is Jacoby! I was the guy that stopped at talked with you outside of Guardians a couple of days ago at Epcot! Thanks again so much for your videos! You helped us have a magical 1st time, Disney World experience! Thanks so much for your content!
Hi Jacoby! Thanks so much for saying hello at Epcot. I’m so glad to hear you had an amazing first visit to Disney World. That’s why we do what we do, so thank you for taking the time to let us know how everything went. 😃
We just did the after hours for magic kingdom last week and it was amazing!!! It was so busy last week. We got amazing pics. It definitely made for a very long day since we were there during the day that day as well but it was well worth it!
It has been oddly busy lately. 🤷♂️ So much for all those articles about WDW being dead. 😂 Was it busy during the event or about like it was in this video? Thanks for watching! 😃
@@EarScouts it was about the same as your video especially after 10:30. There were little to no waits. For perspective, I think we waited maybe 10 minutes for tron and seven dwarfs mine train. Everything else was literally a walk on and they were like do you want to stay on and ride again. It was worth the price tag for sure!
Oooo. I never thought of doing Big Thunder during the fireworks. I timed it out so I was on 7DMT once during Happily Ever After and finished watching from behind the castle (also highly recommended). And yes, PeopleMover 100%!
Mine Train is great, too. I like that you get more outdoor time on Big Thunder to see more of the fireworks. I also just love how they line up behind the mountain as you go up that big ascent. Go Team PeopleMover! ✊ 😂
Hello Rob and Eric, I would just like to let you know that my family also loves Enchanment. Thanks for your informative videos, we are going in August and just have bought our AH tickets for Hollywood Studios based on your review. We would pick the PeopleMover with a Mickey Bar :)
Your After Hours video for MK last year convinced us to try it for the very first time last week, and we had an absolute blast!! Very similar itinerary and experience as yours in this video. One thing we had to add was food when we first got there at 7pm....we had been in AK all day and didn't want to waste park time there with eating dinner (it was our first trip there!), so we hopped on the bus to MK (yea for dropoff at front door:)) and grabbed a very quick bite at Cosmic Ray's b4 hitting the rides. Love your channel!!!
😂 - Speedway was never in contention. I thought about Astro Orbiter just because it looks great in videos, but PeopleMover is definitely my fave of the three. Thanks for watching! 😃
I loved this video so much! My husband and I are going in April for our honeymoon and all of your videos are amazing!!! this video made us get MK after hours hahaha thank you so much for your work!! 💜🇧🇷
Wow such an amazing video ! I havent been to DW in years, going in a couple days & doing after hours sounds so fun. Im confident in my plan now, thank you !!
I’m loving your channel for research to our first trip. Does the after hours season get extended? For example 2025 says until May 19. Might that extend into June at some point. Thanks again.🎉
Thanks for taking us along again Rob. BTW, "People Mover" hands down.😀 We had so much fun during our stay at the Contemporary we decided that we will be back next year this time. And, during that conversation we also decided that an "After Hours" event will be included. So, this video was very timely, and is in my saved list. One question, is the purchase of a regular day pass required before one can purchase an After Hours pass?
Hi Jim! Glad you enjoyed this one. Also glad you agreed with our PeopleMover pick. As Andreia said - no need for a day ticket. You can get in starting at 7pm with just the After Hours ticket. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel! 😃
Ooh - nice! I’ve gotten my own boat on Small World and Pirates, but never on Jungle Cruise - that sounds like so much fun! Did you enjoy the one-on-one time with your skipper?
I leave for Disney World tomorrow and this was the perfect video! Thank you for all the hard work and time you put into your channel! 🤗✨ I have planned my trip around your videos and I couldn’t feel more prepared and exited🥳🎉🐭🏰
Just finished watching. I was watching earlier and accidentally gave it a thumbs down. 🤦🏼♀️ So sorry! I just fixed it to a thumbs up. Your videos are always my favorite. I look forward to them every time you post. ❤
That is definitely in the plan for 2024. We actually filmed our first Universal video for our Patreon channel and it should be up soon, but we’ll be doing videos for the main channel, as well. Thanks for watching! 😃
I had no free days to go on After hours but I had to do it since I love Enchantment. I will go on HS in the morning and after hours at night. A way to see it again. Last year I saw HEA and it did not touched me like Enhantment which I saw twice in 2022.
Hi Andreia! We definitely agree on Enchantment. ❤️ Glad to hear you were able to work After Hours into your plan. Hope you have an enchanting evening at MK! 😃
Looking to buy for the first MK party of the year in 2025(Jan 6th). Do the tickets sell out before they are available to the general public(not hotel guests)? Having daily anxiety that they might be gone before we have access to them!
Go Team PeopleMover! 🙌 I think for me, it is because when we moved to Orlando, it was right after the 50th Celebration started, so that was the show we saw every night and we fell in love with it. Same with Harmonious at Epcot. I don’t know if anything will ever beat those shows for us because we have so many memories tied to them now. I actually think that is the reason most people prefer HEA - because of their memories that are tied to that show. 🙂
This convinced me to purchase tickets and I was feeling great about my decision. Until, I did a little more research and found out that if the event is sold out (Spring Break) expect it to be packed with waits of approximately 1 hour or more for rides. I’m so disappointed.
I like going to People mover before and after the show. Don't advise going if you have a LL like me. It stopped three times and the park closed before I was able to go to my LL😂😂
@@EarScouts yes!! I saw it! I love your videos thank you very much for bringing me closer to my favorite place on earth , which is Walt Disney World🙏🙏thank you! Blessings
They ask all day guests to leave, unfortunately. If you stayed in the hub, you would risk getting trespassed from the park, so I would not recommend it. I'd recommend watching from one of the nearby resorts, though. It's not the same, but at least you would get part of the experience.
I don’t think Tron is worth the wait even at 30 minutes. We waited almost an hour back in August in the virtual queue. One and done for me. Would rather do Space Mountain.
I definitely wish TRON was about a minute longer. For me, I enjoy it if the wait is 30 minutes or less, but Erick definitely agrees with you on this one. He enjoys it as a walk-on, but not much more than that. 😅
So glad I found your channel! Your videos are very informative and a joy to watch. I just booked an after hours event for June and I’m so excited 😊

Last ride, People Mover! Always a favorite, such a chill ride.
Yup - such an underrated attraction at MK. 😀
The People Mover is a fantastic way to end the night! It would 100% be my choice as well!
I watched a lot of your tips and tricks videos leading up to our Disney Vacation and we were there this same night! Too bad I didn't run into you to thank you in person, but your videos helped my family have an amazing time at Disney World. Thanks for everything you do!

Indescribable feeling❤
Love everything you do!! So informative, relaxing, and just plain joyful! Thanks for another great one!!
Thanks so much! Disney World is definitely my happy place. 😃
Wish you uploaded a little more often! Love your content
Quality beats quantity 😊
No! Quality over quantity!

You guys on the teacups made me laugh! So much fun.
And people mover is a no brainer for our fam, as well.
It was crazy - we’ve never had one spin that fast before. 😂 Go Team PeopleMover! 🙌
Peoplemover would have been my choice too!! I really enjoy watching your videos!
Go Team PeopleMover! 🙌 And thanks for watching! 😃

Awesome! We had our own boat on Pirates once and it was so magical. I keep hoping it will happen again, but not yet. Thanks for watching! 😃
Another awesome video Rob and Eric! After hours is now on my bucket list!
It's definitely a fun event. Hollywood Studios was my favorite this year just because of all the amazing and unique characters this year. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for all your content. Just got back from our Disney trip and watched all your park videos for strategies with and without genie +.

you are a wealth of awesome information! Big thunder during fireworks? YES PLEASE! Awesome tip, thanks.

Thank YOU so much for the generous Super Thanks - that was very kind of you. 😃
I always just love the way you approach these events. So much good information. I also enjoy the spinner rides being encorporated thank you once again
Hi Carol! We definitely had a good spin on Mad Tea Party in this one. 😅 Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for the lovely comment. 😊
Hello Rob and Eric, I would just like to let you know that my family also loves Enchanment. Thanks for your informative videos, we are going in August and just have bought our AH tickets for Hollywood Studios based on your review. We would pick the PeopleMover with a Mickey Bar :)

Nice! I love a little quality time with Sonny Eclipse. 😃 Glad to hear you enjoyed After Hours - thanks for watching!
People Mover is one of my favorite rides, so I agree with you, it’s the right pick to finish off your night at MK!
I am doing this Feb 12!! So excited
Hi Glen - hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching! 😃
A new video! Loved this one. Hopefully I get the Disney After Hours when I go.
I am 💯 in agreement with you to pick People Mover at the end of the video!!! I would have been so sad if you picked the Tomorrowland Speedway! 😂
😂 - Speedway was never in contention. I thought about Astro Orbiter just because it looks great in videos, but PeopleMover is definitely my fave of the three. Thanks for watching! 😃
I totally agree, I love enchantment too!
This was so helpful for our upcoming MK night on the 8th!! ❤
People mover for sure!!! Thanks for another amazing video!!🙌🏼
I loved this video so much! My husband and I are going in April for our honeymoon and all of your videos are amazing!!! this video made us get MK after hours hahaha thank you so much for your work!! 💜🇧🇷
The 2023 version was a great resource for my family's trip last month.
Hi Kathleen! So glad you found that one helpful - and thanks for checking out this one! 😃
Wow such an amazing video ! I havent been to DW in years, going in a couple days & doing after hours sounds so fun. Im confident in my plan now, thank you !!
Hope you have a great trip! Thanks for watching! 😃
Yay PeopleMover. I ride it as often as I can.
Fireworks while on Big Thunder is also my favorite. I've done it on both coasts!
Big Thunder is my favorite at Magic Kingdom (but I prefer the version at Disneyland). Thanks for watching! 😃
Loving the “After Hours” videos! Super helpful for our trip planning. I’ve gotta ask-where did you get that backpack???
Guess what ? Love it as always 😊. Thank you we love your videos❤
Thanks so much, Lindsay! 😃
Hey Rob, I would have picked the People Mover too. Love that relaxing ride. Hi Erick!
Hi Ron & Ursula! Glad to hear you are also on Team PeopleMover! 😃

Omg the episode I was waiting for. I have to go to an AfterHour in Magic Kingdom. And I also love Enchantment I miss it so much
Thank you for the tips,😊 if I stay at Disney Hotel, can I go at 6pm at the park?
Last ride people mover for sure!
Team PeopleMover! 🙌 Thanks for watching! 😃
Cool that you got your own train on the People Mover. Once I got my own boat on the Jungle Cruise on a rainy day.
Ooh - nice! I’ve gotten my own boat on Small World and Pirates, but never on Jungle Cruise - that sounds like so much fun! Did you enjoy the one-on-one time with your skipper?
What time did the fireworks start for the event please?
I leave for Disney World tomorrow and this was the perfect video! Thank you for all the hard work and time you put into your channel! 🤗✨ I have planned my trip around your videos and I couldn’t feel more prepared and exited🥳🎉🐭🏰
Woo-hoo! 🥳 Hope you have an amazing vacation and thank you for making our videos a part of it! 😃
Is great to meet you today in Hollywood

Fantastic video as always. I've said it once and I'll say it again 😂 But please do similar videos for Universal studios 😊

I can’t believe you like Enchantment over HEA though!!! I always cry happy tears during HEA!!

Yes! The first show we saw with my son was HEA and it was a core memory moment!
How do the extended hours compare to after hours? Are the wait times similar?
I’m doing the after hours on the 22nd of April can’t wait only thought I’d mind can I get the bus back to pop at 1am 😅
This convinced me to purchase tickets and I was feeling great about my decision. Until, I did a little more research and found out that if the event is sold out (Spring Break) expect it to be packed with waits of approximately 1 hour or more for rides.
I’m so disappointed.
People Mover for me too!
I like going to People mover before and after the show. Don't advise going if you have a LL like me. It stopped three times and the park closed before I was able to go to my LL😂😂
Oh no! For such a simple ride, PeopleMover sure does go down a lot. 😅 Thanks for watching! 😃
Is after hours only available to deluxe resort guests? Or can you buy an after hour ticket if staying on a Disney resort other than deluxe resorts?
I’m not staying at a Deluxe Resort and we bought tickets to MK and Epcot After Hours. Hope that helps.
Any chance that they might extend MK After Hours dates in July? This is the one that I'm really excited for.
Hello! They’ve added more dates, so you never know. As of now, the last date is June 27. Hopefully they’ll add a few more. 🤞
Did yall do pirates?
Yup - it’s around 19:45
Oh yea! Idk how I missed it lol
If you had to choose would you do afterhours at MK or Epcot?
Definitely Magic Kingdom. Thanks for watching.
Peoplemover last to wind down is great, but I think i would have repeated Tron just for avoiding de hassle of the virtual queue 😅
True - and I imagine a lot of people just rode it over and over. 😂
So if I go to MK during the day and go on tron can I go on tron again on the after hours?
Yup - you sure can! Thanks for watching! 😃
What happened to hounted mansion? Why did you ride it?
We rode it - it’s around 25:30
@@EarScouts yes!! I saw it! I love your videos thank you very much for bringing me closer to my favorite place on earth , which is Walt Disney World🙏🙏thank you! Blessings
If I could only do one ride at wd world I’d pick peoplemover!! Awesome way to end your day!
Agreed! And it’s extra awesome when you have it all to yourself. 😅 Thanks for watching!
Your small world background music was way better than the actual small world ride music. 😂
People movers all the way!
Go Team PeopleMover! 🙌
Tron again for last ride
Enchantment > HEA. Wondering if you can hang out and catch the 11pm fireworks as a day guest 🤷🏻♂️
They ask all day guests to leave, unfortunately. If you stayed in the hub, you would risk getting trespassed from the park, so I would not recommend it. I'd recommend watching from one of the nearby resorts, though. It's not the same, but at least you would get part of the experience.
