Hi there, Lyssa!
Your question has me excited for two reasons! One, you'll be attending the brand-SPOOKING-new Halloween celebration - Disney After Hours BOO BASH, and two, you're hoping to dine at one of my favorite restaurants - Be Our Guest! Not only that, but you'll be spending the morning enjoying a picture-perfect day at
Disney's Hollywood Studios. It sounds like you're planning a practically perfect day!
On September 17,
Disney After Hours BOO BASH will begin with the "knell of a requiem bell" promptly at 9 pm. BOO BASH ticketholders will be able to enter
Magic Kingdom Park as early as 7 pm to enjoy the park prior to the start of the celebration. If you're able to book a
Be Our Guest Restaurant reservation right at 7 or soon after, you'd definitely have time to enjoy your meal before the event begins. I wouldn't suggest a dining reservation any later than 7:30 pm, as I wouldn't want you to miss out on any of the SPOOKTACULAR fun in store during the BOO BASH.
Guests attending Disney After Hours BOO BASH will be TREATed to three exclusive hours of park time, with low wait times for popular attractions. There will be FRIGHTFULLY fun live entertainment, Halloween-themed cavalcades, candy stops, and complimentary snacks and drinks throughout the evening. Magic Kingdom Park will be decked out in fall finery, with themed music and lighting to set the mood - it's going to be a HAUNTINGLY happy place to celebrate Halloween!
Before the celebration begins, Guests in Magic Kingdom Park will be able to experience the
Happily Ever After Nighttime Spectacular. This AMAZING fireworks show will be a grand finale to your Disney day before the start of your BOO BASH evening. The show will be having a final performance on September 29, so you'll be able to catch it before it goes away! While showtimes haven't been posted quite yet, I'm assuming it would have an 8 pm or 8:30 start to then allow day guests to exit the park prior to the BOO BASH event.
If you're unable to book your Be Our Guest reservation in the time frame needed, you always have the option to upgrade your theme park tickets with the
Park Hopper Option to allow entry to Magic Kingdom Park as early as 2 pm on that day, which would allow for more dining reservation times prior to the BOO BASH.
I hope you're able to get your plans arranged perfectly for your fun day immersed in the magic of the Walt Disney World theme parks!
