Exclusive menus and beverages are offered for events but no exclusive merchandise.
How big is Very Merriest?
Disney’s Very Merriest After Hours is listed as an after-hours event instead of a party. This means that there will be even more limited capacity than when Disney would offer Christmas Parties. While there isn’t a confirmed number of tickets available we can tell you that even on a sold-out night of the event, there are not a lot of people.

Hours, dates and general information
The BOO Bash is held in Magic Kingdom on select nights from November 8th, 2021 through December 21st, 2021. The event takes place from 9 PM to 1 AM. Giving you an extra hour vs the Halloween Boo Bash. With your ticket, you are able to get into the parks starting at 7 PM to have a couple of hours with day guests. The cost of tickets depends on the night that you attend. The earlier dates in early November will be cheaper than dates in December, with December 19th & 21st being the most expensive.
Crowds & Wait Times
Like we said crowds are very limited and that makes for very ow wait times. From what we have seen, most of the rides are walk on. It should be noted that the wait times are not listed in the My Disney Experience App once the park closes to day guests. This give you a really great opportunity to get in a lot of rides in a short amount of time.
Arrival
When you arrive at the park you should look for the cast members dressed in Holiday attire. they will scan your ticket and give you a wristband. This identifies you as an after-hours guest as they will be checking for this once the park closes and they are trying to get day guests out of the park. If you are an AP and were already in the parks before 7PM you can go to one of two locations to get your wristband. There are stands at Space Ranger Spin and Tortuga Tavern.
