Official 2021 "Disney After Hours Boo Bash" Thread

Perhaps this has been answered already, but I can't find it. When they make tickets available for sale on the day where can you buy those tickets?

Can you purchase same day tickets at any park? We plan to be at Epcot the day of a party, and I’m wondering if I can purchase same day Boo Bash tickets there if available?

I think you can only purchase at Magic Kingdom. If you have park hopper, you can try to buy inside MK. They've had signs posted at the front by City Hall.

If anyone discovers for sure that you can (or can’t) buy the day-of tickets somewhere other than MK, can you please post here?

We had to swap our BB tickets for VM ones because we had to reschedule our Labour Day trip to October, and our new dates have been sold out for ages. I’d really like to try to score day-of tickets if we can, and I’m just trying to figure out if I’ll need to rearrange our park days to facilitate that.

You can buy them from any Guest Service booth at any park, even Disney Springs!

Do you know this for sure? As in you bought some?

 

[Tonberry]

I asked the front desk of Riviera and she said that you can buy them at any guest service box office at the 4 parks or Disney Springs. I didn't want to take a chance so we purchased them at MK. But I asked the CM at MK guest service if it was true and he said yes, all 4 parks or Disney Springs and that next time I don't have to make a special trip to MK just for BB tickets if I want to purchase more.

 

[HollyMD]

Is this the guest services before you enter the park, or right after entering?

 

[Tonberry]

Before you enter

Just got back from Boo Bash! We attended quite a busy MNSSHP in 2019 and were weary, but it was a completely different experience. While the park never felt desolate and every walkway had at least another group, once you got to the attractions the crowds seemed to vanish into thin air.
We got there 6:35, were let in about ten minutes later, as Mickey and the gang greeted visitors from the station! We devoted the first part of the night to my two kids and we did:
Tea Cups
Dumbo
Pooh
Ariel, which kept stopping about six times, we walked out as fireworks started.
Small World
Peter Pan
By then my son had fallen asleep so we started doing the mountains, one parent at a time while the other took stroller and daughter for treats or ice cream or popcorn, which is a sound strategy but eats up time, so we did:
Splash Mountain
Big Thunder (first time experiencing at night, it was incredible)
Then walked over to Tomorrowland at 11:10, rode Space Mountain one parent at a time while daughter danced at DJ party, then ended the night with Buzz Lightyear, and as the clock hit midnight we headed out as I was given a birthday button to celebrate the start of my birthday!
Along the way we saw: one cavalcade (Mickey), Chip, Dale, Gideon and Honest John, and the fab five gang as guests headed out the park, but wearing their Halloween costumes. We got less candy than last time, but then again that time we got more candy than any human should consume in a lifetime, so it was a tough record to beat.
The buses were predictively crowded, but that’s to be expected, specially to All-Star Movies.
All in all, a very positive experience, well worth the price, in our opinion! You can get a lot done if you keep at it and attack the night. If my family got ten attractions done with two special needs kids in tow, a swifter group can conquer the whole park, I’m sure!

That's great! I was literally just wondering about this.

I just scheduled a last minute trip for next week 09/16-09/19. I'll be at HS on Fri. I didn't want to take time away from that park to go to MK to buy BB tix if they're available.

If there's no availability for the party, I'll hop to MK on Saturday after AK.

I went to Guest Services at the International Gateway at EPCOT on Monday night and they had tickets for Tues and Fri nights available. I went last night.

As for my experience, I'm so glad I went, I had a great time. I have been to the Disneyland MNSSHP a few years ago when it was still at DL. I'm on a solo trip and wanted to try to do a little of everything. I had a loose plan but I no expectations - I think I was super successful. Here was my night:

-Watched the fireworks from the hub
-Walked quickly to Jungle Cruise right after, they were checking bracelets already and it was walk on (had been 30+ all day and I didn't want to wait)
-Got off JC at 8:55, walked past the long lines waiting for treat trails to open at Tiki and Splash, walked through the one at PecosBills
-Grabbed snacks and waited for the Cadaver Dans to start. Saw Chip and Dale, then circled back through Tiki Room now that the line was gone.
-Walked over to Fantasyland, could have swung by Haunted Mansion but I rode earlier while they were putting the bench out for Madam Leota so decided to skip it.
- Rode IASW with no wait, another treat trail and some Pinocchio characters, rode Seven Dwarfs Mine Train with a 20 minute wait
-Made my way to Tomorrowland for a treat trail, People Mover, then Buzz, then the last treat trail at Monsters Inc.
-At that point I headed toward the hub for photopass photos, it was about 10:50
- Grabbed another round of snacks and the Maleficent Churro and settled it for the later round of cavalcades - which were delayed.
-Slowly wandered down main street and did some shopping and more photos then grabbed a bench spot for the last 2 cavalcades. The dragon WAS breathing fire, I heard in other reports it wasn't on earlier nights.

I felt like that was a solid meandering plan and I didn't miss anything. It really did not feel crowded at all. I think I did 4-5 treat trails and got about 1/3 bag of candy - much less than a few years ago, but as someone else said the last time was a ridiculous amount. The CMs were dropping 1 handful and that felt generous.

I'm going to Oogie Boogie Bash at DL in early October so I'll be able to compare to the two - obviously they are very different experiences.

I can confirm that they will allow you to purchase tickets at the Disney springs ticketing building. I went to guest services and they put my name on a list and pointed me over to the ticketing building so that the CMs there could help me.

I may be way out of the loop - I just went online to look at Boo Bash tickets and they are sold out every night? Is that right?

All nights are sold out.

 

[mdmost]

Sold out online but tickets have been available at the ticket booths the day of the Boo Bash.

 

[cdurham1]

That's unfortunate bc it kind of messes with my planning. I was thinking that we would use Boo Bash as a substitute for a full day at MK. But if it turns out we can't get tickets at the gate, I guess we risk being out a whole day. Anyone tracking the day of availability?

 

[bsmcneil]

They've been sold out for quite a while now. Is it possible to plan for Boo Bash as a first or second night and re-arrange if it doesn't work?

 

[gharter]

Not sure if it really happened, but earlier, it appeared that after selling well, Disney suddenly had more passes available for some nights for Boo Bash. That could happen again.

Others on here have said they were able to buy them at Disney Springs at Guest Relations. If you're staying onsite, check with the concierge at your hotel.

It wouldn't be ideal. If Boo Bash (on second day), then MK first day. If not Boo Bash, then EP first day. (I will spare everyone the reasoning, lol.) I guess I need to figure out an alternative plan for "not Boo Bash" that shares the same first day MK plan.

The other inconvenient thing is that if we knew we had Boo Bash tickets, then that day was also going to be a sleep in day. Now, I feel like we are going to have to get up anyway to go hunt down tickets.

I wish I could find some tickets from some other vendor or something.

I have a reservation at Be Our Guest for 7pm Tuesday night of Boo Bash...also made one for same time Thursday. Both days full day at MK. Am going to cancel one of them. Which one should I cancel? Would you recommend BoG night of Boo Bash?

Personally I wouldn’t do it on the boo bash night. I want some room to enjoy the popcorn & ice cream at boo bash. We had BOG today, I was still full 5-6 hours later. We have a CRT for lunch on our boo bash day. Figured that will be enough til we get snacks.
