Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom has been my favorite extra event for awhile now, so the options to be able to do a similar thing at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios starting next week seem super exciting to me. (In fact, people with short trips who want to do as much as possible might even consider skipping regular park tickets and instead choose to attend After Hours to pack in as much as possible.) Here's our overviews of the After Hours event for each of the parks that offer it:

Hear about their trip that included a stay at Bay Lake Tower, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, and hear how Disney handled her daughter's food allergies. I also have a quick tip if you'd like to order from a Table Service menu but don't have a dining reservation.

Links/notes mentioned in this episodeQuick tip of the dayEmailed from Amanda C.: Nearing the end of a long day in Animal Kingdom towards the end of our trip we found ourselves without an ADR for dinner. We were tiring of the standard Quick Service fare and not feeling like running across the park for something more unique. As we were near Yak and Yeti, we popped in hoping to snag a table without a reservation but were told it would have been a 30 minute wait. Instead, we ordered 2 adult entrees to-go for our family of 4, and after a short 10-minute wait for them to prepare our food, we walked out of the restaurant with our meal. The open seating of the Yak and Yeti Local market (Quick Service) was right next door and nearly empty, so we were easily able to snag a table and enjoy our meal. So my tip is to consider ordering carry out at times when you didn’t plan for an ADR. The cost of the two adult meals was similar to what we would have paid for 2 adult and 2 kid quick service meals and was plenty of food for us all.

Links/notes mentioned in this episodeQuick tip of the dayEmailed from Lindsey A.: We are celebrating my dad's birthday on our upcoming trip, and we wanted to get a special cake. The cast member I spoke to regarding dining reservations wasn't sure if Amorette's Patisserie delivers, and the Disney website says that you can pre-order and pick up a cake from Amorette's to enjoy at your resort, but it doesn't mention any delivery options. I called Amorette's directly and got the answer! They will deliver the large dome character cakes or their signature red velvet cake to Disney Springs restaurants. Order 72 hours ahead of time to ensure delivery and pre-payment is required. While we could have picked up the cake ourselves and brought it to dinner, it'll be nice to keep the cake a surprise for my dad and have it waiting for us at The Boathouse!"

Shaun just recently took her 2 daughters on a surprise trip to Disney World which included lots of park hopping, use perks available to military families, and lots of special events. Hear how it went. I also have a quick tip to help manage all of your PhotoPass pics.

Links/notes mentioned in this episodeQuick tip of the dayEmailed from Gretchen L.: On our first trip, I waited until the end of our trip to download all the photos. I quickly learned that it takes a bit of time to download each and every photo, and it was a tedious task. On our trips since, I take a few minutes a day, either during a break time or once my kids are asleep, to download the PhotoPass photos to my phone. If you’re like me and get a lot of photos taken, It’s so much more manageable to download them in smaller chucks, than wait until the end."

So we will drive down and drop the car off at MCO and fly back and the end of our trip. For those who live within driving distance and have time to spare, this is a way to save some money!"
