Characters, Attractions, Decor, and More coming to Boo Bash After Hours Event

This year for the Halloween season Magic Kingdom will be hosting an after hours event. Disney After Hours Boo Bash will take place on select nights from August 10 through October 31. We now know more about the decor, characters, and attractions that will be available during the event!

Special décor, lighting and music set the tone for a not-too-spooky good time. In addition to deliciously devilish decorations, you’ll find many Disney Characters in full Halloween dress and themed lighting that casts Cinderella Castle in a spectral glow. All this plus Halloween-themed music throughout the park ensures a frightfully fun night!

Since reopening, Walt Disney World has replaced parades with character cavalcades. Disney After Hours Boo Bash will feature three Halloween-themed cavalcades.

Mickey’s Happy Halloween Cavalcade: Delight as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto and pals—dressed in hauntingly boo-tiful Halloween costumes—parade through the park in this musical procession.

Disney Villain Halloween Cavalcade: Behold a legion of villains— unleashed to revel in this sinister season. Gaston leads the way, followed by fellow fiends like Dr. Facilier, the Queen of Hearts and Jafar, celebrating just how wonderful it is to be wicked.

Jack’s Nightmare Cavalcade: Prepare for a procession worthy of the Pumpkin King! Jack Skellington—along with Sally and Oogie Boogie from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas—take to the streets to share thrilling, chilling tricks and treats!

And last (but definitely not least!), Maleficent will also make an appearance in the form of a fire-breathing dragon!

Enjoy character sightings and catch a performance by the Cadaver Dans. Character sightings will occur across the park, so be on the lookout! You could see:

Goofy
Chip ‘n’ Dale
Miss Carlotta, Miss Renatta and Broome the Butler at the Haunted Mansion
Foulfellow and Gideon

And be sure to catch the Cadaver Dans as they make a special comeback (from the dead) appearance. These spooky songsters emerge from their tombs for a cappella performances. You won’t want to miss this—it’s to die for!

Guests will enjoy shorter waits at over 20 Magic Kingdom attractions. Disney After Hours Boo Bash lets a limited number of guests experience the park for an additional 3 hours after it closes. That means less waiting in line at popular experiences like Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain!

Some of the Many Attractions Open During the Event:

Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Jungle Cruise
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Haunted Mansion
Peter Pan’s Flight
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin
Space Mountain

Delicious, themed treats will be available during the event. The following will be available for purchase:

Apple Ginger Dale Frozen Drink: Frozen Apple Cider mixed with Ginger Ale and topped with Whipped Cream
Foolish Mortal Funnel Cake

In the midst of all the fun and festivities, take time to refuel with ice cream novelties, popcorn and select beverages—included with the cost of the event—available at carts stationed throughout the park.

There will be special PhotoPass opportunities throughout the event as well. During Disney After Hours Boo Bash, Magic Kingdom park is decked out in festive decorations—creating the perfect backdrop for your preternatural pictures.
