Disney After Hours Boo Bash Review

Last night August 31st, 2021, I attended Disney After Hours Boo Bash at Disney’s Magic Kingdom. We entered the Park at around 7 p.m. and were given a wristband. The event officially started at 9:30 p.m, but with a Boo Bash admission ticket, we were allowed to enter at 7 p.m. We were able to hit some rides and get dinner before the event started at 9:30. Once the event began, Cast Members made sure that Guests had a wristband to enter certain parts of the Park or to get onto the attractions. Wait times were very short. Even for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, it wasn’t longer than 15 minutes, and we got to ride a couple of times.

There are cavalcades that go through the Park, and they each run twice. We caught them the first time around, and we recommend that you either watch over in Frontierland or towards the front of the Park. It gets very crowded right next to Cinderella Castle. We walked around to the different trick-or-treat stations, and they gave lots of delicious treats. I have a dairy allergy, so I was given a specific allergy bag, and instead of candy at the station’s you are given allergy tokens. You can then take those tokens to the allergy friendly center at Liberty Square, and they will provide you with treats that will fit your dietary needs.

If you were looking for an event that is low crowds, then this was perfect. There is free popcorn, drinks, ice cream bars, and of course lots of candy. Make sure to look out for characters in their Halloween costumes and their locations are marked on the map. There are lots of additions included with your admission and I personally do think it was worth the money that I paid for the ticket. I already have my ticket to Disney Very Merriest After Hours, and I’m assuming it will be a similar experience.
