Disney After Hours BOO BASH

[Ayla]

Speculation I've read is that Halloween sold out because it had larger capacity to begin with due to anticipated higher demand, and that capacity for the first date was kept low so all the bloggers would give it a great review and unwittingly help Disney sell out the rest of the dates on false pretenses.

I think you are exactly right. I thought the same thing once I learned the first party was all bloggers.

I'm not a blogger.

Then you must share a name with a vlogger. Disney does make mistakes sometimes.

But seriously, first one is 80% vloggers. Good in some ways, rough in others

That's our date - so you can all be assured that someway, somehow, this date will have the highest attendance cap.

So, there are about 4,000 - 8,000 vloggers?

Lol, precisely. Holds the same amount of water as "vloggers are taking all of the Rise of the Resistance boarding groups"

Including Halloween fireworks for everyone (no ticket required) on weekend nights.

But no mention of World of Color.

Probably not literally, but it feels like they outnumber the normies 2-1 on first party days from my experience. Maybe its just that they're louder and take up more space.

Now THIS is definitely something I'm concerned about.

Fountain maintenance is keeping WoC closed until 2022 (per MiceChat).

While it's technically a "full" parade, it's no Boo to You IMO having seen both in person.

Boo to You is the best of the 4 Disney Halloween parades I've seen.

It is interesting, I have to wonder why WDW decided not to do it? Disneyland has had way more uncertainty, less time to plan... is WDW just being cheap?

I think they just jumped the gun too early. They wanted to announce something Halloween related ASAP to drive bookings, but didn't know what restrictions would be in place or if staffing would be an issue. They're also trying to balance 50th stuff too.

I'm sure if the announcement were made today, we'd be getting something a lot closer to regular MNSSHP.

Not at all. Boo Bash was announced because they decided to have new nightly fireworks for the 50th. That doesn’t work with parties.

so we should expect similar Christmas after hours and not a party?

That’s what I expect, anyway. New fireworks for a celebration premiere 10/1 but only show 3 nights per week starting the first week of November? Doesn’t seem likely.

Remember, they are blending seasonal decorations with 50th decor this year. Do not expect the full fall and winter package.
