When we first went into the park (around 7:30pm) we were a bit overwhelmed as Main Street was PACKED with people waiting for the fireworks. We grabbed some dinner at Casey's Corner and then made it ahead of the crowd further into the park before the show ended. With the park being open till 10, it didn't really die down till closer to 11. After that time though, it was great. Walked onto everything and some things we even rode multiple times without having to get off. We MORE than made up the price difference with all the pop corn, ice cream and pop/water included. I would definitely do these events again if I ever return to WDW!
Pros:
walk on to rides and snacks includedCons:

after experiencing after hours at magic kingdom before, I have already bought tickets to attend on my next trip this year. Virtually no waits and unlimited popcorn and frozen snacks and bottled drinks
Pros:
Virtually no waits, opens at 7, don’t need a park ticketCons:
Because the event is limited capacity, you normally have to order before hand to guarantee a spot and there’s no way to know the weather - meaning it could be raining.Reviewed by Julianne Farrell Review Date: 04/23/2019

This was probably one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at magic kingdom out of the many times I’ve gone. If you have the opportunity this is a must do for me and something I will try to do every trip I go on moving forward.
Pros:
There are limited ticket amounts given out for these events and because almost every ride at magic kingdom is open this leads to practically no wait for any ride. I ride splash mountain twice in a row without getting out of the ride vehicle because there was no line. You can get in earlier then the event starts with your ticket and without a park ticket. Waters and ice cream are complimentary. The best part is walking around the park with virtually no one else with you.Cons:
The price is kind of expensive but well worth it and you can get discounts with annual pass or Disney vacation club. Also leaving after the event was rather challenging because it ends so late the buses are not running often so we waited for a long time for a bus to come. We were staying at the Polynesian and figured we can just hop on the monorail but they stopped running prior to the party ending.Reviewed by SDay Review Date: 04/19/2019

We attended an After Hours event in January. Our son convinced us there would be no ride wait time but we were sceptical. He was absolutely right! We were able to walk on the rides with essentially no wait time. Imagine being in the Haunted Mansion with no one in the doom buggies as far as you could see. Highly recommened.
Pros:
No wait timesCons:
Some rides advertised to be open were notReviewed by Junebug Review Date: 04/03/2019

We loved it! We were able to ride our favorite rides 2 and 3 times. We will definitely do it again if it is offered during our vacation. Best money we ever spent at Disney.
Pros:

long lines for the free snacks and drinks.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 02/15/2019

We had no wait time for the rides. The popcorn and ice cream carts were thru out the park. Character meet and greets waited no more then 5 minutes. I would definitely would do this event again.

We loved the extra evening magic hours. We walked every ride we wanted too.
