2023 I am going to an after hours event
0:13
Hollywood Studios tonight the first
0:14
after hours event at Walt Disney World
0:18
for 2024 and a certain event that I have
0:21
never been to so I don't know what to
0:23
expect not expecting a lot but I think
0:27
it's going to be fun Halloween is come
0:29
and gone Christmas has come and gone all
0:31
those after hours events and themed
0:33
events have gone by the wayside but
0:36
Disney is still going to have things
0:39
that happen after regular Park guests
0:41
cannot get in unless they purchase a
0:43
hard ticket so I'm trying I'm going to
0:46
try this out tonight and the first one
0:48
is at Studios I believe they're going to
0:50
be doing one at Magic Kingdom and Epcot
0:51
later in the year but the first one it's
0:54
the former MGM now Hollywood
0:57
Studios starts at 9:30 so I got a little
1:00
time welcome everyone Adam the woo here
1:02
now I am an annual passholder meaning I
1:04
can get into the park if I make a
1:06
reservation throughout the course of
1:07
certain
1:08
days this event if you were to purchase
1:11
the the ticket for the after hours you
1:13
can get in at 700 p.m. I will not be
1:14
getting there at 7:00 because that's
1:17
kind of an added bonus to those who are
1:19
just ticket holders that want to get in
1:21
do the after hours and do the before
1:23
things as well so I will not be doing
1:24
that I'll be getting there a little bit
1:25
after sum one thing about cool at night
1:28
he could be lurking in the shadow so I
1:30
don't want to get too close him and all
1:32
his friends and of course I didn't
1:34
forget I'm inviting you with everything
1:38
that I put on here to join
1:41
me let's see what happens on the first
1:46
2024 join me shall you and I realize I
1:50
did it again 2024 is the correct here I
1:54
keep saying 2023 even though 10 days
1:57
into this year I4 West looks interesting
2:00
this
2:01
little side over here where it usually
2:04
is backed up is going smooth the middle
2:07
section's a little backed
2:15
up now the park closes at
2:15
9: the after hours event starts at 9:30
2:18
but again you get in before the park
2:21
closes you purchase a ticket you get in
2:24
at 700 or if you're an annual passord
2:25
you can get in whatever right now it's
2:27
about
2:28
7:45
2:31
I want to ride some
2:37
rides and get some popcorn under the
2:37
shroud of Nightfall lurking in the
2:39
shadows pulling into the parking all
2:41
right I am all parked ready to rock for
2:44
the eve this goes from 9:30 to 12:30 so
2:49
a half hour past midnight will I stay
2:52
that long I don't know see how it goes
2:55
and this is on their site so this is the
2:57
first night of the event go starts from
3:00
January 10th which is tonight and goes
3:02
through April 10th and you kind of
3:04
scroll down here and all the different
3:07
prices this is the most inexpensive of
3:10
all the nights it's 155 but if you're
3:12
DVC member you get $30 off which is
3:15
pretty nice and I bought the ticket it
3:16
automatically applied it but they're
3:18
doing a bunch of these not only here but
3:20
at the other Parks as well the event
3:22
takes place from 9:30 to 12:30 a.m. you
3:26
can get a head start on the Fun by
3:27
entering the park at 7:00 p.m. a few
3:28
hours before the
3:30
event officially
3:32
begins they love these after hours
3:35
events I guess they know people will pay
3:37
it and honestly even at 8:00 an hour
3:39
before the park closes the weight times
3:40
aren't too terribly bad I mean 45 for
3:42
Hollywood Tower 45 for clinky dog those
3:46
are the two I really want to do but
3:47
they're only 45 which means probably at
3:49
this event they're going to be like
3:51
hardly anything what is this 25 minutes
3:54
for wait a second look at this rise is
3:59
only 20 5 freaking
4:01
minutes during regular park
4:04
hours wow that's not a
4:16
lot ah okay now I know why the weight
4:16
times aren't too bad right now it's 8:00
4:18
p.m. and that is when Fantasmic tonight
4:20
is happening you can see the lights and
4:21
the music going on so Fantasmic happen I
4:24
am curious to see what special
4:25
characters they have out as well always
4:28
like the rare characters when they bring
4:30
them out for events but mostly about the
4:32
it's mostly about the the ride if I can
4:34
do Slinky Dog three or four times
4:37
tonight that would be pretty freaking
4:38
amazing cuz I hardly ever do Slinky Dog
4:40
anymore cuz the lines during the day are
4:42
usually so freaking long and there are
4:44
tickets available at the ticket booth as
4:47
well you can get them online but there
4:49
are even the first night it is not sold
4:51
out even for the first night of the year
4:52
and I love Hollywood Studios at night so
4:55
this has got always this is going to be
4:56
a good time all right there is an after
4:58

4:59

5:10
small pamphlet here it does it does say
5:12

5:15

5:20

5:35
complimentary things as well like ice
5:36
cream Novelties so like bever is a
5:37
popcorn now I bumped into someone who's
5:39
not staying for the party but I want to
5:41
know if Chris provos calls this an Adat
5:43
or an AT-AT AT-AT I like that I got a I
5:47
got a pun that you could be proud of I
5:49
just learned today that cottage cheese
5:52
is not real cheese it's not it just
5:54
occurred to
5:56
me no it's just occurred to me
6:00
it's just a curd you can use that one if
6:02
you want it's just a curd give me one I
6:03
want to say that that's a pretty good
6:05
cheese Pun It's pretty
6:08
guda why aren't you staying for the
6:09
party cuz you've been here all day since
6:11
Ro day all day yes I know next party
6:14
next party next party they're they're
6:15
doing a lot of these do you know why uh
6:18
Yoda is a good Gardener no he has a
6:20
green thumb out of 10 11 out of 10 all
6:23
right this is the floodgates of
6:24
Fantasmic letting out you can see
6:26
everyone well not everyone there's a
6:27
couple people that are walking in but
6:28
most people are and down Hollywood
6:30
Boulevard and out out the
6:34
front round Sunset down Hollywood yes
6:38
everyone's heading
6:40
out I'm staying in however well I'm out
6:44
going to be outside but I'm staying in
6:45
the park who I don't know if I've ever
6:48
seen this they had the gates closed over
6:49
here in front of rock and roll they had
6:50
the casers out with uh with some items
6:53
over here some hula hoops but the gate
6:54
is completely closed I don't know if
6:56
ever seen that gate closed you cannot go
6:58
back in that Courtyard Hollywood Tower
7:01
looming and at 9:14 all the times have
7:05
been erased off of the app so basically
7:07
it's just a a guesstimate when you show
7:09
up to see what the weight times are I
7:11
don't think it' be that bad but if you
7:13
walk right up to the signs you can see
7:15
it says 20 minutes so I guess it won't
7:18
be on the app but if you walk up it'll
7:19
say what it is but I'm guessing like
7:21
probably in another 10 or 15 minutes
7:23
this is going to dissipate this is kind
7:24
of like left over from the the regular
7:28
guests who were in from when the park
7:29
was still they were in line when the
7:31
Park closed cuz it's only like 9:20 all
7:33
right walking directly in there's like
7:35
there's like no line no weight at all
7:37
here for Hollywood Tower basically just
7:39
walking straight into the pre-show
7:41
there's not a lot of people in here but
7:43
it looks like there's some gentlemen
7:44
from the forest Moon of indoor d right
7:46
we are
7:48
yeah Ben Lawrence is here too a little
7:51
more well behaved all the way from uh
7:53
from Massachusetts sir down here you
7:55
doing the event too evidently you're in
7:57
the line yeah after hours event um we've
8:00
been here all day so we kind of wore our
8:01
Star Wars out I almost didn't see these
8:03
guys they're kind of they're uh they're
8:04
they're camouflage
8:06
yeah how many rides you think we're
8:08
going to be able to get done tonight I'm
8:10
hoping like just as many as Max out at
8:12
least two at least at least two 100 at
8:16
the very least you know it's a mellow
8:18
night and there's a lot of empty seets
8:21
already when's the last time you went on
8:23
this it's been a couple years we missed
8:24
it the last trip we came down probably a
8:27
year or two ago we missed it
8:42
time
8:55
back I think it's not over
8:55
yet
9:14
that's it we made it all right got to
9:14
check out the photo for posterity here
9:16

9:17

9:42
everything else 30 minutes like I was

9:45
Slinky Dog but yeah everything else is
9:48
513 which is basically just five they
9:50
always do that with Hollywood Tower and
9:52

22:57
have a great night
22:58
guys you
23:04
guys that's going to do it for today
23:04
what an event man that was a good time I
23:08
did a lot of rides a lot of
23:11
attractions a couple Mickey bars had
23:14
couple things of popcorn had hardly any
23:17
weight time on any of the tractions I
23:20
was going on and didn't think I was
23:22
going to get on Slinky Dog but I got on
23:24
Slinky Dog it opened up for the last
23:26
hour a lot of the characters that they
23:28
had for the meet and greas were kind of
23:30
the same ones they had at jollywood
23:31
nights like they had Pinocchio they had
23:35
Stitch they had who else they had they
23:37
had Pinocchio they had Stitch they had
23:39
Jiminy
23:41
Cricket they had
23:43
Duffy so they kind of like they kind of
23:46
kind of similar to the also look at the
23:48
parking lot really empty out here at
23:50
this moment it's 12:30 12:40 right now
23:53
give or takes of the events over but I
23:55
would recommend this especially
24:01
if you wanted to knock out a lot of
24:01
rides so if you're going to buy a
24:02
one-day ticket especially if you're DVC
24:05
you can get for $125 if you're not it's
24:08
50 but a one-day ticket is pretty close
24:10
to that anyway granted you're not going
24:12
to be here all day but you can get in at
24:14
7:00 you get at 7:00 p.m. from 7:00 to
24:16
9:30 or 7:00 to 9: you could do some of
24:19
the Lesser lined the attractions that
24:22
don't really have or the shows that are
24:25
kind of quick and easy and then the last
24:27
3 hours
24:28
you can knock out pretty much all of the
24:30
EET rides that usually have an hour to
24:32
hour and a half weights on a normal day
24:35
and you can knock those out in like 5
24:36
minutes each so really if you want to
24:38
knock a bunch of stuff out you're not a
24:40
passholder and you're just in you know
24:43
you wanted to do like a one day ticket I
24:45
would recommend the I would recommend
24:46
the after hours parties I really would
24:49
plus you can like eat your weight in
24:51
popcorn snacks I got some Waters I don't
24:55
drink soda anymore but you can get as
24:58
many Waters Coca-Cola Sprites Diet Coke
25:02
stuff like that your heart desires you
25:04
could I mean you could literally rack up
25:05
$150 in sodas if you so choose that's
25:09
going to do it for today thanks for
25:10
watching from Hollywood Studios the
25:12
first after hours of it
25:23
2024 I'll see you in the next video the
25:23
Vlog
25:29
is
25:29
is over oh yeah you could also factor in
25:32
if you were here during the day and buy
25:33
it a one-day ticket you could rack up a
25:36
$30 lightning Lane per person and then I
25:39
believe some of the like I think rise
25:41
might be even extra lightning Lane to do
25:44
that so you kind of add that into the
25:46
price of the after hours
25:49
ticket it kind of makes sense that's
25:52
just my own personal opinion but had a
25:55
good time
