Tickets & Costumes

With a Disney After Hours BOO BASH ticket, guests will have access to Magic Kingdom that day starting as early as 7 PM. No need for a day park ticket or Disney Park Pass theme park reservation for this special ticket event, meaning you can spend your day one of your other favorite parks before it’s party time! Like during Mickey’s Not So Scary Party, guests of all ages can dress up for the Halloween festivities. While adults are not permitted to wear a costume mask, guests under 14 are allowed to do so. Face coverings will also be required during Disney After Hours BOO BASH. For the full scoop on costume guidelines for this event, click here!

Disney After Hours events are only open to a limited number of guests, which means low wait times and even more Magic Kingdom fun. Disney After Hours BOO BASH will offer more than 20 attractions for guests to experience including all three mountains, Haunted Mansion, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and more! Since this even takes place after hours, you’ll feel like a true VIP exploring the park all night long.

Ready to purchase your tickets? Disney After Hours BOO BASH tickets will go on sale next month. Guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels will be offered an early purchase window, too! As August grows closer, it’s safe to say that Disney Parks Blog will be sharing even more Halloween-themed excitement for this fall. I’ll share the scoop as the spooktacular details drop!
