Last night Orlando got hit with some pretty heavy rain and storms. Sadly, it was during the special ticketed Boo Bash event. This caused them to cancel the ‘Happily Ever After’ fireworks event. Several attractions were also closed due to the storms.

we’ll call this pre-Boo Bash weather and during Boo Bash weather☔️🌧

aka it poured buckets of rain for the duration of the 4 hour party….as soon as the party started😅😩🙃 pic.twitter.com/qY1xbxODK2

It isn’t Disney’s fault the weather ruined the night, and they did put out the snacks and trick-or-treat fare (although some have reported that they were late in some locations.) They are now apparently giving out one-day park tickets good for one year.

“We apologize for the inconvenience this evening.

Your event ticket(s) have automatically been converted to provide 1-day access to the Walt Disney World Theme Park of your choice. Theme Park reservations via the Disney Park Pass system are required. The ticket will be valid for one year from the event date you purchased and does not include the Park Hopper option and is valid only during normal operating hours. Please note, you will not see this update in My Disney Experience app, but you will be able to make a park reservation with the event ticket linked to your account.”

Prior to this development some people were reporting getting refunds. The line for Guest Services was extremely long last night.

@DisneyFoodBlog #boobash was a bust, major transportation issues, bus delays, rain, closed rides, late opening for handing out treats. Luckily they finally decided to just give refunds pic.twitter.com/7JvmrK9koF

Boo bash refund acquired. Not exactly the happy ending I wanted on my last day in the magic kingdom but I’ll take it

Man. @Disney really dropped the ball on #BooBash tonight. Candy stations at Tiki Room and Pecos Bills didn’t start distribution until almost 10:00. People waiting in pouring rain. Most rides closed. Pirates down. What a terrible event Boo Bash has become @WDWGuestService pic.twitter.com/E4k8z42OYF

@WDWGuestService Disney claims that Boo Bash is a rain or shine event yet they are completely unprepared and not accommodating! This is unacceptable! #castcomplaint

@WDWGuestService 9:30pm start time for Boo Bash yet Staff at MK are saying that they are still waiting for candy to arrive. After standing out in pouring rain and a severe thunderstorm this completely unacceptable! #castcomplaint

— Brandon Monroe (@bmonroe317) August 25, 2021

@WDWGuestService waited 25 minutes for the candy to show up late to Boo Bash which started at 9:30pm. Thanks for the 2 pieces 👍👍 #castcomplaint pic.twitter.com/RU8BVHn037

It also appears that there are quite a few people in the “after hours” event. This is what I wondered when they reopened availability for many dates, but not the first day when they knew the vloggers would mostly show up to cover it!

There’s so many people here wtf. The vlogger Boo Bash was obviously set up to look like a super exclusive event. Crowds are the same as they’ve been all day… pic.twitter.com/mWzNLzAJoL

I love the ingenuity here! I never thought to just pack them away and bring an insulated bag! 120 bottles of drinks multiplied by $4.50 and the Mickey bars. Impressive!

Just left the parks with a full refund for Boo Bash, 6 remaining days for 8 people, 40 each of Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite 20oz bottled, and an insulated Sam’s Club bag filled with Mickey and fruit bars.

I mean if Disney is going to nickel and dime might as well get your money’s worth and then some!

Again, Disney has no control over the weather, but they should have been more prepared by the sounds of it. I expect that they will put up disclaimers now so they don’t lose this much next time.
