Should we avoid MK on Boo Bash nights?

[firstwdw]

No park hoppers and considering MK on a Touring Plans crowd prediction of 1 BUT it's Boo Bash night....Does it make more sense to avoid MK on Boo Bash night even if the crowd level is predicted to be 1?

The park does not closed early for the event and those entering using only their Boo Bash ticket can't enter until 7 pm.

This thread is active and I'm sure responses can be applied to Boo Bash also: https://www.disboards.com/threads/avoid-magic-kingdom-on-very-merry-christmas-party-days.3848735/

Hard to know for sure.

If you’re planning to stay for fireworks or until the end of the day to ride rides, it will be busier with Boo Bash guests in the evening. But there may be lots of people hoping to avoid Boo Bash days, so non-party days could be just as busy, or possibly even busier.

I think party days will be less busy at the MK in the mornings/early afternoon.
Non party days might be less busy late afternoon/evening, but not sure.

I would go for rope drop on a party day and do as much as I could early In the day.

If so, I would leave the park before 7.

8/31 on touring plans is a 7 for MK - it's got Boo Bash + the last showing of HEA fireworks. We are avoiding MK that day (even though we have a little FOMO). All the other days, TP is showing a crowd level at MK of a 4.

I would avoid it only because you are going to have two hours overlapping with boo bash guests, meaning higher wait times and extra crowds at fireworks.

HEA last show is Sept. 29, not Aug. 31.

While I do agree that HEA (and lines) may be more crowded on Boo Bash nights, it shouldn't be packed all day like July was.

oh! My bad! I googled "Magic kingdom August 31" to see why the TP crowd level of 7 (the rest of the week it's 5 or lower), and the first thing that popped up was this:

under fireworks, the show is called "Happily Ever After - Last Chance to See the Show!"

I think you'll be ok until right at 7, when all the Boo Bash people can enter. At that point it will probably fill up quickly.

In my opinion boo bash should be a firm no.
I did the first and the second tonight on 8/24.
the first bash had great weather, most everything worked except the Malificent dragon had no fire and to be honest I did not see less people than at a MNSSHP, just they were more spread out not lining Main Street.
8/24 had bad, bad weather, torrential rain and lightning bad enough to cancel the fireworks to close the park and the rain / lightening continued on to cancel the cadaver Dan’s and the mini parades, by 11 pm Disney sent out a message that Boo Bash attendees would be given a credit for 1 day park entry good for 1 year.
I know that Disney can’t control the weather but I did expect after 3 events that they would have figured out how to get the candy buckets to locations before 10:30 pm for an event that opens an hour earlier and announcements that parades are canceled do to weather in a more timely fashion.
finally, as of today, the WDW stores are not yet stocked with the merch that is being previewed on the WDW.go website.
