What’s the Deal With After Hours Events in Disney World?

We have received some BIG Disney news recently!

Cinderella Castle

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has been canceled, but Disney After Hours BOO BASH will be taking its place and kicking off this August. We couldn’t be more excited for the treats, character encounters, and more.

These events were all canceled in 2020, with no word on when they could return.
