Disney After Hours BOO BASH

The MNSSHP was a big success the only drawback being it's popularity meant crowds so huge it detracted from the enjoying of the experience. This latest event is a toned down copy of the MNSSHP but w a similar price tag. Maybe, though streamlined, the limited crowd that will be able to purchase tickets will allow for a more enjoyable (exclusive if you will) time. I see the offering too sparse for the price compared to what was.

After Hours is a different creature than a Party Night.

With DAH, you're paying for an "empty park," not a party celebration. That's what the original DAHs at MK and DAK were all about. Disney Villains After Hours added some minor entertainment in Jan - Mar, and cost about an extra $20 for it.

That the DAH this Fall will have extra seasonal stuff is almost coincidental and is justifying an extra $20 bucks compared to past DAHs, just like Disney Villains After Hours did.

It is not a morphing of the Halloween Party just because it repurposes some elements of the Halloween Party. DAH are their own thing. You're paying mainly for an "empty park," not a park-wide party.

Thank you. A distinction that further deflates the value of this "Boo Bash". Wanting to enjoy a park that is not congested does not equate to wanting an empty park, that said, after a couple of iterations of this "Boo Bash" it may result in an empty park.

It’s not the Halloween party, it’s After Hours, there’s a difference.
Exept there is no Halloween party and this event has elements of the Halloween party. So I would say it's also different than the "after hours" they've done before.

My point stands, it's a replacement for the Halloween party offering less and charging more.

Sure, but I think it's more similar to VAH than the parties. The main difference IMO is that Villains After Hours had a stage show and this one has Trick or Treating. Similar duration, covid cavalcades replacing parades, and similar price.

It may be the best they can do in place of a MNSSHP, but to me it's a halloween themed after hours instead of a party replacement
