Halloween " Party " or " Boo Bash " ? Announcement ?

[Mark48]

Wondering when the plans for Halloween 2022 will be announced. Seems a bit late for the
announcement. I understand that this far out they want to make sa sure a possible wether
Covid will be a factor . Any ideas or scuttlebutt ?

Really hoping a full party for 2022. If they do, I’ll be back for sure.

I've been looking everywhere for this information as well. I don't think we're going to hear anything for at least another month.

I would be very shocked if the full party did not return this year.

I seem to remember @ToTBellHop saying that they were considering making the after hours events permanent, albeit more like the Christmas event with fireworks and a parade.

I have a feeling it’ll be an after hours event (with after hours prices), but will include the parade, Hocus Pocus show (with perhaps a new scene to promote the new film), trick or treating, and fireworks. Hopefully regular character meet and greets will be back then, too.

All of that, of course, at a price much higher than the “parties.”

But this is just a guess. I have no inside knowledge of anything related to these events.

I'm thinking late April early May they will announce the return of Disney After Hours Boo Bash. I also see Mickey's Boo-To-You Parade returning to Boo Bash this year along with the fireworks. Sadly, I don't see the Hocus Pocus Castle Stage Show returning.

With a new Hocus Pocus movie to promote I think it’ll be shocking if the show doesn’t return. Bob loves synergy!

true and i hope it does return, but it's a new Disney, and less is more. I think if they thought they could get away with a Halloween Boo Bash with no parade or fireworks for another year they would do it.

They would gladly bring the full parade, show, and fireworks back for a $200 (or more!), 4 hour party.

I agree but not the stage show. There has to be something cut from the party.

Very Merriest had a stage show, parade, and fireworks.

Was Covid used as a reason to not do the Halloween party? Someone inform me, I forgot

I honestly don't think so. I believe the After Hours party concept was part of their strategy, especially around the 50th. While the legacy parties were cheaper, the main party had it's share of complaints (crowds and kicked out the day guests way too early and even more of an issue because of the new firework show at MK).

Even though the anniversary celebration hasn't really had flagship draws (like a temporary parade marked around the 50th), they will still likely run 2022 straight from the 2021 runbook: After Hours parties for both Halloween and Christmas, but Boo Bash will get the Very Merriest power-ups: parade, stage show and specialty fireworks. Boo Bash missed those things last year because they didn't want to commit to fireworks, parades during the planning part of it because of Covid.

So if Boo Bash starts at MK park closing every night then what are the elites (relax. that is a joke) staying at the deluxe resorts going to do? That effectively takes them out of the running for the MK extra evening hours right?

Not really. They don't run the parties on every night. Wednesdays have been the MK night and that's not a party night typically.

Ohhhh. Okay. My mistake. I thought the Boo Bash was a nightly thing.

What do you mean by "Wednesdays have been the MK night"?

 

[Disstevefan1]

In my opinion, we will never again see the full blown parties again. Disney used COVID to stop them and replace them with the Boo bash. If I had to guess it will be Boo Bash going forward.

Lets hope I am wrong.

Party nights are typically Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday (if I remember correctly)

Is Villain's after hours planned to return this year?
