Well, I was thinking about going October 5 but was beginning to second guess this morning before tickets go on sale. (My 50th anniversary plans have me staying off-site at Marriot Springhill Suites Flamingo Island). Looks like resort guests made the decision for me. Oh well. Additional money saved.

I'm disappointed at the lack of DAH for the other parks.

Stay tuned. They've had them before for HS and AK. Count on them returning at some point.

As a non-resort guest, I'm blocked out on 10/5 (sold out), so as your reader advocate, when you go to the Boo Bash page and click on "Purchase tickets", you're re-directed to the standard COVID policies page. Clicking "Special Event Tickets" doesn't work any better. Is the only option calling to purchase? What's the point of the "Purchase tickets" button if you can't purchase tickets after you click it?

EDIT: If you haven't already try clearing your cache/history.

I see what you mean - on a computer it loads correctly, but trying to purchase on a phone from the website it does go to the COVID-19 page. See below!

New ad on Twitter says select dates August 8 through October 31, tickets not yet on sale for the 8th though. Attached blog post still mentions the 10th as the first date so perhaps it’s a typo.

Got ours for September 5th and 7th. So glad they added the 5th, because we were going to go on the 7th and 10th. However, we prefer Sundays to Fridays, so that worked out well. See you guys there!

October 8th and October 29th is now sold out.

I suspect most nights will sell out. I’ve had it confirmed...again...that capacity is rather low.

Will unprecedented demand mean the addition of even more nights per week? They were suspiciously quick to add more dates before it became available to the general public...

They chose an event that is easy to add to the schedule.

Sunday, Tuesday, Friday. Maybe Wednesday and/or Thursday too? MNSSHP was 4 times per week, this can certainly be doable.

Did they add the new dates due to people being ticked off about Halloween being sold out during the pre-sale?

On the 11th, Disney announced 5 new dates -

September 5, 2021
September 12, 2021
September 19, 2021
October 10, 2021
October 17, 2021

Nothing new today though.

With the speed at which it is selling out, it "feels" like capacity is even lower than regular DAH events. While I understand demand is very strong, what percentage of late summer/fall guests are already aware of these events + rushing to the phone lines before today and/or rushing to spend $150 per person online first thing in the morning now?

As of now, I already see 5 dates sold out.
The last 2 dates -- Halloween and Halloween weekend, so makes sense. And 3 of the 4 earliest October dates: I'm guessing, residual guests who are showing up for the 50th Anniversary.

If I already bought tickets but want to change to one of the newly added dates, would they let me do that?

Yep. Call them.

Unlike prior DAH events that kind of showed up in Disney news unexpected... Halloween parties have a built in audience that KNOWS they buy tickets ahead of their trip, and should already be in the mode of planning their seasonal trip.

 

[MotherofaPrincessLover]

Yep. Call them.

That sounds terrible.... I think I'll wait until tomorrow to call. Thanks!
