More details shared for Disney After Hours Boo Bash at Magic Kingdom
Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is gearing up for this Halloween’s “Disney After Hours Boo Bash,” and more details on the new event have been revealed.
Happening on 23 select nights from Aug. 10 through Oct. 31, from 9 p.m. to midnight, this limited-capacity, separately-ticketed event will offer a variety of Halloween staples guests will enjoy
Special cavalcades will parade through the park at night, including “Mickey’s Happy Halloween Cavalcade,” with Mickey and friends; the “Disney Villains Halloween Cavalcade,” where villains will take to the streets to celebrate their favorite time of year; “Jack’s Nightmare Cavalcade,” featuring Jack Skellington, Sally and Oogie Boogie; and Maleficent in her dragon form.
A few frightful friends will also be out on the prowl, including Miss Carlotta at the Haunted Mansion, Goofy and Chip ‘n’ Dale in their Halloween costumes, and more surprise characters. The Cadaver Dans will also come back from the dead for a special performance.
Guests will be able to enjoy select complimentary snacks during the party, like ice cream novelties and popcorn, as well as select beverages; this offering is included in the cost of the event. There will also be specialty food and drinks available for purchase, including an Apple Ginger Dale frozen drink (frozen apple cider mixed with ginger ale and topped with whipped cream) and a Foolish Mortal Funnel Cake.
Once the park is closed to day guests, party guests can enjoy less time waiting in line for over 20 attractions, including Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Peter Pan’s Flight, Space Mountain, and more.
Disney PhotoPass will be available throughout the night to take magical and spooky shots of guests — and yes, everyone can dress in costume for the event and enjoy trick-or-treating around the park. Keep in mind that costume masks are not permitted for adults and can only be worn by children under the age of 14.
