Walt Disney World Resort already has new plans for Halloween and is even celebrating the halfway point to the spooky holiday.
Instead of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Disney’s Orlando-based Magic Kingdom Park is hosting a Disney After Hours BOO BASH from August to October, according to a news release shared by Disney Parks Blog.

The festive event will occur on select dates between Aug. 10 and Oct. 31, and will run from 9 p.m. EST to midnight. Planners working on the seasonal event anticipate Halloween-themed cavalcades, character sightings, special performances, treats, décor and more.
Guests who purchase BOO BASH tickets will be provided entry "as early as 7 p.m. without the need for a day park ticket or Disney Park Pass theme park reservation," according to Disney Parks Blog. But, some event nights in August and September will notably start at 9:30 p.m.

At this point in time, protective face coverings are still going to be required at the park due to the lingering coronavirus pandemic. Other safety protocols are likely to be implemented, including physical distancing and encouraged contactless payments. However, a restricted list of Halloween costumes will be welcome for children and adults.
In 2020, the park’s seasonal Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was cancelled due to the pandemic.

According to Disney Parks Blog, the early Halloween celebration kicked off on Friday, May 7, and includes a selection of limited-edition treats that are being served up by restaurant partners along with festive autumn recipes.
