Hi Paula!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question - I'm happy to help.
Ever since Walt Disney World Resort announced their newest Halloween offering, I've been dreaming of jack-o-lanterns and apple cider. Can we just skip summer and head straight into fall? The
Disney After Hours Boo Bash is going to be a SPOOKtacular special event, and I can hardly wait until October! Held in
Magic Kingdom Park on select nights from August 10 to October 31, it's sure to be quite the "swinging wake".
I, like you, spent lots of time on June 8 trying to call and purchase tickets to attend a Boo Bash event during our October vacation. As a
Disney Resorts Collection Guest, I received an email with a special early booking opportunity, and started trying to call as soon as the phone lines opened that morning. With the overwhelming response to this all-new Halloween celebration, the phone lines were completely tied up for most of the day. All I was able to get was a fast busy signal or an "all circuits are busy" message on my attempts to call. Finally, one of my friends in our travel party was able to get through and purchase tickets for our group, but not before a long wait on hold. Once she reached a Cast Member, the ticket purchase process went quickly! Unfortunately, early access tickets are only available by phone, but if you weren't able to get through, tickets will go on sale to the general public on June 15 with an online purchase option as well.
Hopefully, you were able to speak to a Cast Member, and didn't give up hope that your wait would be worth the effort! The
Disney After Hours Boo Bash is sure to be a ghostly gathering of epic proportions, and there will be frightful fun for all ages to enjoy. Hope to see you there with all the other grim, grinning ghosts!
