Boo to You, Justin!
Thanks for dropping by planDisney with your question about the brand-SPOOKING-new Halloween celebration at Walt Disney World Resort,
Disney After Hours BOO BASH.
I was so excited when Walt Disney World announced a new FRIGHTFULLY fun event happening on select evenings in
Magic Kingdom Park this fall. Disney After Hours BOO BASH will be a GHOSTLY gathering with exclusive theme park time, and lots of tricks and treats for Guests of all ages! I've got my tickets, and I'm ready to join all the boys and GHOULS for some SPOOKTACULAR fun this fall.
On event evenings, BOO BASH ticketed Guests will be allowed entry to Magic Kingdom Park as early as 7 pm. The event "officially" begins at 9 pm (9:30 pm on select evenings), and Magic Kingdom Park will close to day guests prior to the start of the BOO BASH festivities.
I checked Park Hours for August to see when Magic Kingdom Park would close to day guests on BOO BASH event dates. (August BOO BASH events begin at 9:30 pm, and the Park Hours Calendar shows the park closing time at 9 pm.) BOO BASH guests will be given special wristbands to indicate they have purchased tickets to the event, and Guests without wristbands will be filtered out of the park as the event is about to begin. Cast Members will be stationed around certain areas of the park to check for wristbands, and help day guests locate the park exits.
I hope this helps with your planning and preparation for a festive fall visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth. Bibbidi Bobbidi BOO, it's going to be a SCARY good time!
