This year, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has been canceled, but the NEW After Hours BOO BASH event is set to bring some Halloween fun to the parks.
Earlier today, Disney released information about the dates and pricing of the BOO BASH tickets. But, just how do the price of these tickets compare to the previous price of tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party? We’re breaking it down for you here!
Let’s start with a quick peek at what BOO BASH offers in comparison to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. BOO BASH will give guests the chance to see Halloween decorations, ride Disney attractions, listen to party music, and even get candy, much like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
But, there are a number of differences between the events. One of the biggest differences has to do with the length of the party. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary has historically run from 7PM to midnight, making it a 5-hour event. BOO BASH, on the other hand, will be a 3-hour event generally taking place on event nights from 9PM to midnight.
But according to Disney, “Disney After Hours BOO BASH tickets will grant admission to Magic Kingdom park as early as 7:00 PM without the need for a day park ticket or Disney Park Pass theme park reservation.”

Now, let’s take a look at ticket prices. We’ll start with a look at the prices for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party event nights from 2019. In 2019, ticket prices varied throughout the run of the event (with prices generally increasing as Halloween approached).
Tickets in 2019 began at $79 in advance for adults and $74 in advance for children. Tickets for Halloween night, October 31st, were priced at $135 for adults and $130 for children. Same-day tickets were also sold at the gate depending on availability.
The prices for BOO BASH tickets, however, look pretty different. Tickets for BOO BASH start at $129 – $139, plus tax for August/September nights. If you’re hoping to go in October, tickets for BOO BASH start at $159 – $169, plus tax. Want to be at BOO BASH on Halloween night (October 31st)? That’ll set you back $199, plus tax.
Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members will, however, be able to get a $10 discount for event nights in August and September.
Overall, it looks like there have been some pretty significant increases in price for BOO BASH tickets as compared to Not-So-Scary tickets, despite the BOO BASH event being offered for LESS time.
For Halloween night, tickets for BOO BASH appear to be $64 MORE EXPENSIVE for adults than Halloween night tickets for Not-So-Scary in 2019 ($135 in 2019 for Not-So-Scary, $199 for BOO BASH) and tickets appear to be $69 more expensive for kids ($130 in 2019 for Not-So-Scary, $199 for BOO BASH).
Tickets for BOO BASH’s other event nights are also more expensive than the tickets for Not-So-Scary. The least expensive ticket for adults in 2019 for Not-So-Scary was $79. For BOO BASH, the cheapest tickets appear to be priced at $129. That’s a difference of $50!
