Disney After Hours Boo Bash - Fireworks?

[Mac30188]

So one nuance I noticed when I looked at the hours posted for the week we are visiting in September, the Afterhours Boo Bash event does not start until 9 and fireworks are still listed. So is it safe to assume...

1. Even though Fireworks are not listed as part of the event, they are included because they are part of the regular day experience.
2. It does not appear there are any hours cut from regular guests. Visiting on party day is a similar experience to a non-party day.
Except...
3. For the Fireworks since you have both party guests and day guests in the park, the crowds trying to get a spot will be horrible. Not to mention it maybe messy for trying to get party guests into the park at the same time Mainstreet is packed with Firework viewers.

Party guest will be allowed in well before 9PM -maybe closer to 6P ...not sure if they already specified something. So it shouldn't be any worse than any other typical night as far as seeing fireworks ...many guests stay away from parks hosting after hours events so crowd levels should be lower than normal. Also, on my dates the park is closing at 8P and BooBash starts at 9 so that would still allow you to watch the fireworks and have plenty of time to enjoy the extra 3-hours.

Boo Bash ticket holders can get in at 7:00. Official close is 8:30 or 9:00, 30 minutes before Boo Bash starts. Fireworks time has not been announced.

I would assume the goal is to have Fireworks finish at close time for park so they can discourage day guests from dispersing deeper into the park.

The real trick will be the capacity. It smells like a party, but is marketed as After Hour Event. For previous Halloween themed party, the capacity was pretty hefty. I would not want to dump that many people on top of day guests to watch Fireworks together. If the capacity is limited enough, it shouldn't matter that much.

Firework times have not been posted past Jul 31 so it's difficult to tell exactly how it will work. We'll know more once Disney posts fireworks times for Aug online.

Seeing as this is an after hours event the only guarantee would be that fireworks would occur before park closure so day guests can experience them as well, AH events do not include fireworks. But they haven’t announced fireworks times at this point no way to see if they will be 30 mins before or 15 mins before park closure. The last AH event we went to they were 30 mins before closure. Park closed at 10 and they were at 9:30.
