Disney Announces All-New Halloween Event in 2021

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

Last fall at Walt Disney World, one of the things we absolutely missed the most was Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Due to the pandemic, the party was cancelled and this Halloween-themed-character cavalcades taking place during the day. While we were hoping that the Halloween party would return in 2021, instead, we are getting an ALL-NEW Halloween Disney After Hours event.

From a Disney Cast Member;

I love Halloween so much … it’s scary. Since we are Halfway 2 Halloween, I’m spookily excited to announce a new Halloween-themed Disney After Hours event coming this fall to Magic Kingdom Park!

“Disney After Hours BOO BASH” will take place on select nights, Aug. 10 – Oct. 31, from 9 p.m. to midnight*. Spooky festivities will include Halloween-themed cavalcades, character sightings throughout the park, special performances by the Cadaver Dans, décor, lighting, music, treat stops with plenty of candy and so much more!

“Disney After Hours BOO BASH” tickets will grant admission to Magic Kingdom Park as early as 7 p.m. without the need for a day park ticket or Disney Park Pass theme park reservation, giving you time to enjoy even more of your favorites.

Guests young, old and immortal can dress in costume for the occasion and get their fill of Halloween candy. As an important reminder, costume masks are not permitted for adults; they can only be worn by children younger than 14. In addition, all guests are required to wear approved face coverings during the event. Before you arrive, check our Know Before You Go page and Costume Guidelines.

In case you aren’t familiar with Disney After Hours, it’s a special event that’s open to a limited number of guests, after normal park operating hours. The experience offers low wait times at more than 20 attractions from classics like the Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain, to newer favorites like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. It’s a ghostly good time for all!

Tickets will go on sale next month, with an early purchase window available to guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels. Click here for more information and stay tuned for more details to come. We’ll share additional information about “Disney After Hours BOO BASH” as it becomes available.

Stay tuned to learn more about Halloween offerings coming to Disney Parks around the world.

*Some event nights in August and September will be from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.
