Disney has released additional details for the new Villains After Hours event coming to the Magic Kingdom this summer including the actual dates for each event. Here’s the details:
On 10 nefarious nights from June 6 to August 8, 2019, some fiendish faces will emerge from the shadows to take center stage at Disney Villains After Hours! Be among the limited number of Guests to attend this unique, 3-hour experience at Magic Kingdom Park.
During a Disney Villains After Hours event, you can:
- Enjoy access to more than 20 popular Magic Kingdom attractions with low wait times—and discover surprising, villain-inspired additions at Pirates of the Caribbean and Space Mountain.
- Boogie down at Cinderella Castle––the villains’ entertainment hub for the evening! Here, you can experience Villains Unite the Night, an all-new stage show featuring Hades, Jafar, Dr. Facilier and more.
- Get your camera ready for some sinister selfies with the Maleficent Dragon parade float, which will make its way through the park several times—breathing fire at night for the first time ever!
- Bask in the ghastly glow of loathsome lighting with a backdrop of malevolent music as you creep through the park.
- Treat yourself to villains-themed food and beverage offerings—such as Hades Nachos and the Not-So-Poison Apple Cupcake—and event-exclusive, limited merchandise available for purchase at the event.
Ever driven to stand out in their unpredictable and audacious fashion, the Villains will be entertaining Guests in the Villains Unite the Night show; however, they will not be participating in Character greetings during the event.
Ice Cream, Popcorn & Select Beverages Included
In addition to the themed snacks available for purchase, you can satisfy those late-night cravings with ice-cream novelties, popcorn and select bottled beverages—included in the cost of admission. These sinfully delicious snacks will be available at carts stationed throughout the park.
Show Off Your Sinister Side
You’re welcome to come dressed for the occasion in attire inspired by your favorite Disney villain. Just be sure to follow our dress code and costume guidelines.

We are going Mid-late July, and had planned to go to MK both Thursday evenings of 18th and 25th. Now seeing these are Villain after hours days. Since ppl who go to that can get in at 7:00, does it lead to big increase in crowds those days for folks there before 10pm close? (Wanting to see if I should try to switch plans)
No
What time will regular guests have to exit the park?
At park close
Do you think they will now extend DAH for AK and HS into July and August?
How quick do they sell out?
Magic Kingdom rarely sells out, but I’d buy my tickets in advance to be guaranteed a spot.
They are doing a DVC event at AK on July 18th. Are they really having 2 special events at different parks on the same night? Grrrrrrr!! Now I cant decide which to go to!
Do you know if any of the other parks will be offering after hours nights during the summer ? Thank you for all your info and Disney knowledge
All three current event ticket dates are on my crowd calendar
Any idea how many tickets they sell for these events? Wondering about anticipated wait times.
Any idea how many tickets they sell for each night? Just curious how crowded these after hours events can be.
I was told 3,000
We are planning one day at Magic Kingdom either July 17th or 18th. Up until now the 18th was our preferred day. Does this even change our planning? Is the 18th still the better day to attend?
No effect
Do you have to purchase an additional admission ticket or does this cover entrance into park and the event?
7pm onward
So no meet and greet with villains. Are other characters there for meet and greet ? Thanks
Usually princesses and Mickey
I know Mickey and Minnie meet together right now in birthday outfits. Do you think this is the same for the night event?
Do you know if you can still meet Mickey and Minnie at this event?
Probably. I only see a few different things like stage show, lighting, float etc
Wow! You’re really on it today. Brilliant, I can plan a little better now I have actual dates, thank you very much.
You’re welcome
Will there be other after hour dates released that are non villain nights?
No
Do you think this will be the only after hours offering this summer? Not the regular $125 priced one
Correct
