After Hours vs MNSSHP
Hi guys, just looking for some views here.
We've been looking at doing Magic Kingdom After hours event when we go next week, however, after looking I am just wondering if you think it will be better to do the MNSSHP? I know you don't get free drinks or snacks at halloween party, but there is candy Are all rides opened during MNSSHP? Is it normally a lot busier than the after hours? Has anyone done the both and said which they prefer? We are not too fused about the special characters as such, just want a day at Disney when its quieter as only doing one Disney day this time around!

I did MNSSHP in September 2017 and MK After Hours in May this year. If your main priority is having a quiet park to be able to do lots of rides then you definitely want After Hours. It was amazing how quiet the park was, all the rides were open and they were all walk on - except SDMT which had at most a 10 minute wait. Plus the drinks & ice creams were a nice bonus.
If you are interested in meeting characters, parades, fireworks and collecting sweets then MNSSHP is for you. We really enjoyed the entertainment but were disappointed that the park seemed really busy still, with wait times for the rides almost as high as on a usual day.

Have to agree, if the main priority is less guests then MNSSHP is not the choice! Haven't saw any Vlogs since the opening night but every Vlogger complained at how busy it was & felt that Disney had oversold.

Thank you guys! Was tempted by the MNSSHP as the price is cheaper, but, think we would prefer a quite park.

We walked on to most rides at the second MNSSHP of August this year (apart from 7 dwarves )
The queues always said longer than they actually were . I’m so glad we went as the new firework/castle show was fantastic. The parade was excellent too |

I've done both (MNSSHP 4 times and After Hours at MK twice). They are very different experiences and each great in their own way. I can't say which one I prefer as I love them both - but if you are looking for a quieter park then that would have to be after hours.
MNSSHP is a party atmosphere. There are lots of guests in the parks. Lots of entertainment, with fireworks, parades, the Hocus Pocus show, dance party, Dapper Dans (or rather, Cadaver Dans) roaming around, meet and greets, and of course all the trick or treat stations. It is pure fun and very lively. In contrast, After Hours is a very quiet atmosphere. The park is almost empty. You can roam around and not see very many people around at all. Almost all the rides are a walk on and if I recall correctly I did something like 15-18 rides or meet and greets in 3 hours. I found this great for me as I did almost everything I wanted to do in MK during After Hours, so my subsequent MK park touring was very relaxed!

We hopefully are going to do both. Have done both MNSSHP and MVMCP before and enjoyed them but this is a first for after hours.
