On nearly two dozen spooky evenings this year, from August 10 through October 31, Disney World will play host to the “Disney After Hours Boo Bash,” a limited-capacity, separately ticketed event that takes over from Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Disney has released some details about the new party, as well as the list of party dates. There will be three special cavalcades throughout the night, including “Mickey’s Happy Halloween Cavalcade,”with Mickey and friends in holiday attire; the “Disney Villains Halloween Cavalcade”; and “Jack’s Nightmare Cavalcade,” featuring Jack Skellington, Sally, and Oogie Boogie parading down Main Street to everyone’s favorite party song, “This is Halloween.” Maleficent, in fire-breathing dragon form, will also be making her way through the park.
Party entertainment will include performances by the Cadaver Dans; appearances by fan favorites Miss Carlotta, Miss Renatta and Broome the Butler at the Haunted Mansion; and surprise characters showing up in their Halloween outfits. Guests can also take advantage of Disney PhotoPass, which will offer magical and spooky shots throughout the night.
This year, because Disney will also be simultaneously celebrating Disney World’s 50th anniversary, with “The World’s Most Magical Celebration,” the park decorations will be uniquely transformed for the October event nights, blending the traditional fall look “with the enchanting story of Cinderella by creating special pumpkin coach decorations that will add to the park’s sparkling EARidescence during this magical time.”
Tickets for the three-hour event go on sale June 15, but guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels can book their tickets as early as June 8. Tickets start at $129–$139, plus tax, for August/September nights; $159–$169, plus tax, for October nights; and $199, plus tax, for Halloween. (There is a $10 discount for event nights in August and September for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members.)
Party prices include select complimentary snacks like ice cream novelties and popcorn, along with select beverages, but there will also be a variety of specialty food and drinks available for purchase. Among the goodies will be an Apple Ginger Dale frozen drink and a Foolish Mortal Funnel Cake. The Halloween candy trick-or-treat stations will be back from Mickeys-Not-So-Scary, much to everyone’s delight.
Party attendees can enter the Magic Kingdom as early as 7 p.m., and the “After Hours Boo Bash” dated event tickets do not require an additional day theme park ticket or Disney Park Pass theme park reservation. Guests can also come in costume for the event, but party-goers should check the Costume Policy before donning their outfits.
The Boo Bash will run from 9 p.m. to midnight, except for a few nights in August and September, when the party will be from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. This year’s dates for the “Disney After Hours Boo Bash” are:
