Official 2021 "Disney After Hours Boo Bash" Thread

[RoseGold]

Did you do this over the phone or in-person at guest services? When we called last week we were on hold for at least 30 minutes and then had to leave a message for a call back. We got the call back about 5 hours later and they basically said can't refund. Only will have a ticket credit in my account. Gave no details (my husband took the call and didn't ask many questions though either!) on how to actually do that so we figured we'd hit guest services the day we arrive to try and get it figured out.

I think that’s the same thing, I just used my ticket credit for day tickets. I did it on the phone. It did take forever.

Is any one seeing "tickets available for tonight's event" signs while heading into Boo Bash. Was wondering if its possible to get tickets day of..

I got two tickets yesterday morning at the Animal Kingdom ticket booth for last night. They also had Friday 9/17 available at that time.

Does anyone know if there will be Boo Bash Tickets available for Sun 9/19? I am hoping to get them day of. Is this possible or too difficult? Thank you so much!

Long story short: This won't be happening at Magic Kingdom on that day. So thankfully they're not double booking your ticketed event!

It's strange how they do it, but that wording is on every day for every park. I guess they're doing it as a marketing thing to let people know this newly modified service exists.

Here is the full list of dates/times/parks that get the extended evening hours: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/extended-evening/

If you look at the five day calendar around your date, you'll see 10/27 is the only date to actually have the extended hours posted:

Exactly. That's the same way they used to show Extra Magic Hours. It was listed for every day, but was available for that park only on the date with hours shown.

I don't know for certain but I know my husband's spot will be because he just put his back out so now I'm making this weekend trip's solo with our son. I'm sure other's will cancel too for various reasons. I'm not sure how soon guest services posts in advance when they have tickets available. If it's just day of or if they do it a few days in advance.

I have also been thinking about One Day Memory Maker at the party…. Has anyone done that? About how many pics do you get? I’ll be by myself so it might be the only way I get a few pics!

Here's a link to Everything PhotoPass and Memory Maker which discusses One Day MM. Yes, it works all day long and at special events as well as at the PhotoPass Studios, at all parks and Disney Springs for ONE DAY. There is no limit to how many you can get, it just takes time.

Thank you for your response! Hopefully I can snag one.

If arriving 8-9ish for Boo Bash do they have that back “alley” over by Tony’s open so you can bypass fireworks crowds on Main St?

Hope 9/17 will still be available on the day off. I arrive that afternoon and am going to try to get a ticket for that evening's Boo Bash.

I'm arriving tomorrow afternoon and I'm hoping the same. I'm going right over to Epcot to activate my AP and hopefully buy a Boo Bash ticket for 9/17.

Thanks for the links! I went there earlier but no one was really talking about Boo Bash… I was hoping to get some info from people who used it at the party. I’m going solo and like ride photos and character pics… I’ve done it in the past with my family and really enjoyed it. It’s the combination of a solo trip, reduced character interaction and party that has me wondering…

Understand all the above but not sure what you're wondering about?

We went Sunday the 12th, arrived as fireworks were starting. The bypass was open & we used it. Arrived yesterday about 10 minutes before the fireworks started , it wasn’t open as we walked in. However, by the time we got up Main Street & around to head to Tomorrowland, it was open with people leaving that way

We have our fingers crossed for day of tickets on 10/5, and maybe getting a dessert party prior to!

I have decided to keep my Boo Bash tickets and attend as planned on October 17th. This morning I made a 5:00pm ADR for Steakhouse 71, perfect dinner before Boo Bash at MK. Can't wait!!!

We'll be there for both as well. 5:00 steakhouse 71 and boo bash that night.

That's great to hear, we'll be down 10-19 and I will certainly be checking for availability, thanks for the info

haha - I guess I’m just too undecided so I’m always wondering!! I’m not sure if it’s worth the investment of time and money. This is just a different kind of trip for me.

I was hoping someone would have some super amazing pics that would convince me!!

Interesting. I had to cancel my trip; I called today to have my unused Boo Bash tickets towards day tickets. After holding for quite a while, I was told "no, you cannot use special event tickets towards anything else but special ticketed events." Asked again and I was put on a long hold for the ticket services escalation team. Told that I cannot use the credit for day tickets or annual passes. I really hate how this is applied differently...

Boo Bash was the only Disney Parks component of our trip, except for Blizzard Beach (which doesn't have Photopass photographers at the moment).

We didn't make pictures a main focus of the night, and we still managed 28 photos. Would have had more but NONE of our ride pics showed up even after messaging Photopass to ask for assistance.

Here are some of the PP pics we got over the course of the evening. We waited less than 5 minutes for each photo opportunity (we skipped any with long lines).

A few more are in the next post.
