food IS a theme park
We’re LIVE from the Disney After Hours BOO Bash, and there’s so much to share!
Spooooooky castle!
We’re checking out the entertainment, the rides, and everyone dressed in their Halloween best. On top of that, we’re ready to try some delicious treats!
Can you believe that tomorrow is the first day of AUGUST?! This year has been much quicker than last year!
This year is more than halfway over!
Over the past 7 months, we’ve seen a lot of huge changes and massive news bombs come out of Disney World, and the wild ride is just beginning! Not everything has fully reopened yet and some things are even taking a step backward in terms of health and safety protocols, so if you’re traveling soon, here are 11 things you need to know about Disney World in August.
What a day it has been already!
Holiday projections on Cinderella Castle
We’ve got TONS of holiday news that we’ve been sharing with you including dates for the 2021 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, the return of the Cookie Stroll, a first look at the holiday merchandise, and SO. MUCH. MORE. One of the biggest announcements was that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is being replaced by a brand new after hours event, and we’ve got a big update on it!
Guys, we’ve GOT to talk about Disney’s BOO Bash event.

As you may know, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is not happening this year, and BOO Bash is taking its place. When it was first introduced, it almost appeared as if BOO Bash was going to be a direct replacement for the classic Halloween party. But then, the differences started rolling in! We’re talking changes to hours, prices, entertainment offerings, and SO much more.
Disney World is known as the Most Magical Place on Earth — and we agree! While the parks already sprinkle pixie dust on your vacation regularly, they’ll even go the EXTRA mile with a few surprises!
Festival of Fantasy Parade
Although you might be able to meet Mickey or watch the Festival of Fantasy parade at times that work for you, there are a few rare things that happen in Disney World that most people don’t get the chance to see…unless you know where (and when!) to look!
Is there anything more quintessential on a Disney World trip than meeting Mickey Mouse? We’ll make the executive call: No, no there isn’t. 🙂
Mickey Mouse
You’ve been able to meet Mickey since the very earliest days of Disney World and it’s a tradition that will likely stand the test of time for years to come. Still, meeting Mickey used to be a VERY different experience. Scoring that hug from the Mouse has changed a lot over the years. Now, you’ll have some decisions to make if you want to schmooze with the Big Cheese.
I can’t believe my eyes, I must be dreaming!
The Nightmare Before Christmas Krispie Treat
The best part about The Nightmare Before Christmas is that it’s acceptable for BOTH Halloween and Christmas (yaaas!). And, if you want to take a trip to Halloween Town, now you can go after-hours to visit Sandy Claws himself!
It’s the holiday season, and magic is in the area!
Disneyland Resort
If you’re a Disneyland Annual Passholder, Disney is bringing a little EXTRA magic to your season, offering after-hours access at one of their most CLASSIC attractions!
