Hi Anthony and welcome to planDisney!
The
Disney After Hours events are so fun! They are such a great way to visit the parks with lower crowd levels and experience more attractions in a shorter amount of time. The complimentary sweet and salty treats are a bonus! I just love being able to grab a Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar or some popcorn whenever I want during the night.
TRON Lightcycle/Run in Magic Kingdom Park is the newest attraction in Tomorrowland. I was able to experience this new coaster during an Annual Pass preview earlier this month and it is so much fun! I was fortunate to ride it at Shanghai Disneyland a few years ago, so it was fun for me to compare the two attractions and I can tell you that they are exactly the same and both thrilling!
TRON Lightcycle/Run is currently in a soft opening period until April 2nd, which means it hasn't officially opened. The soft opening times for this attraction have been from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, however, recently it has been extended to 7:30 PM on select nights. I spoke with two friendly Cast Members about this and neither were able to confirm if the attraction will be open during the next
Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom Park, but they did say that the 6:00 PM virtual queue option will not be implemented until the attraction officially opens on April 4th and this is only on select nights that have
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours for eligible guests staying in a
Disney Deluxe Resort or
Disney Deluxe Villa. Additionally, Lightning Lane is not offered during any Disney After Hours events.
If you have another Magic Kingdom Park day scheduled during your visit, you can certainly try to access the
virtual queue or purchase
Lightning Lane entry for that day. I know everyone is excited to "enter the grid", so this may not be the answer you were hoping for, but I'm sending a little pixie dust your way that the attraction will be open during your evening event. Please stop back by and visit if you have any additional vacation planning questions.
Have a magical day!
