It’s a VERY big day in Disney World, and we hope you’re feeling the spooky vibes!

It’s BOO BASH time!

Yep, it’s the first day of the all-new Disney After Hours Boo Bash event in Magic Kingdom! This event is replacing Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party this year and it’s set to be full of spooky sights, scary treats, and a lot of fun. Ready to see it all? Join us as we report LIVE from night one of Disney After Hours Boo Bash! And follow along ALL night as we will be updating this post with every festival detail. 

Boo Bash Dates and Pricing

Disney World’s After Hours Boo Bash events started tonight (August 10th) at Magic Kingdom and will be available on select dates through October 31st. Separate tickets are required for this event and they range in price from $129.00 to $199.00 depending on the date. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can get a $10 discount on ticket dates in August and September.

Tickets Are Sold Out

Boo Bash takes place from 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM on select nights in August and September. On most other nights in September and October the event starts at 9:00 PM and runs through midnight. But, guests with a Boo Bash ticket will be able to enter Magic Kingdom as early as 7:00 PM on their event night.

Magic Kingdom is Ready for Halloween

Tickets for select dates have been selling out though, so if you are interested in attending this event and haven’t gotten your tickets yet, you’ll want to get them soon.

Note that when we attended the event today though (which was sold out online), we saw that Disney was still selling tickets at the event.

Alright, let’s get into the fun!

Getting Started

When you arrive at Magic Kingdom for the event, you’ll want to check in at the Main Entrance. Check in starts at 7 PM. If you’re already inside of Magic Kingdom ahead of the event’s start time, you can check in near Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin or Tortuga Tavern.

Time to Check In

When you check in, you’ll get a wristband. This helps identify you as a participant in the After Hours event.

Crowds

Let’s just say we weren’t the only ones heading to Boo Bash tonight!

The event does have a limited capacity, however, so we’ll be keeping an eye out for how many guests ultimately are left in the park once the event officially begins at 9:00 PM.

Costumes

Guests young and old can dress up for Boo Bash, but Disney has specific costume rules for guests ages 13 and under, and guests ages 14 and older that apply to the event. Before heading out, be sure to check that your costume meets all of their guidelines.

While we were in the park today, we spotted some guests dressed up in their bootiful costumes.

Looking out for those creative costumes is part of the fun of the event!

And the guests aren’t the only ones dressed up! We also spotted Cast Members wearing their Halloween-themed outfits.

Decorations

Halloween decorations are up in Magic Kingdom and available for all guests (including those at Boo Bash) to enjoy!

During Boo Bash, however, guests will be treated to some special lighting and music to set the spooky tone. Cinderella Castle is even set to get some lighting that’ll cast it in a “spectral glow.” We’ll be posting updates when we see more about that!
