Key Details

A Separately Ticketed After-Hours Halloween Party

Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party is a limited-capacity, after-hours event held in Disney California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort in Southern California. The family-friendly party runs from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM on select nights and showcases Characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas alongside a roster of iconic Disney villains, all wrapped around a Halloween street party and immersive trick-or-treat trails.

One of the biggest perks of the event ticket is the early entry: Guests can enter Disney California Adventure Park as early as 3:00 PM — three full hours before the party begins — on the valid date of their ticket. During that window, visitors can ride Halloween-overlaid favorites like Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree, Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween and Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark. No separate theme park reservation is required to enter at 3:00 PM or later with an event ticket.

A few practical notes: parking fees are not included in the ticket price, and Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Premier Pass and Single Pass are not available during the event.

Trick-or-Treat Trails, Villains Grove and Spirited Entertainment

The heart of the party is its lineup of trick-or-treat trails and Halloween entertainment. Villains Grove immerses Guests in an atmospheric walkthrough of light, color and sound, while costumed visitors take to the streets for the party's signature spirited fun. Arriving early to tackle Villains Grove and the treat trails is a common tip among veteran attendees, since these experiences draw crowds as the night goes on.

The Frightfully Fun Parade

The Frightfully Fun Parade rolls through the park as one of the evening's centerpiece offerings, bringing Disney villains and Halloween characters together in a procession that has become a fan favorite of the event.

Add-On Experiences: Dessert Party and VIP Tour

Beyond the standard event ticket, Guests can elevate their evening with premium add-ons. The Oogie Boogie Bash Dessert Party pairs sweet treats with a reserved viewing experience, while the Oogie Boogie Bash VIP Tour offers a guided way to navigate the party with a Disney Private VIP Tour Guide leading the way through highlights like Cars Land.

Know Before You Go

Guests are encouraged to wear costumes inspired by their favorite Disney characters, villains or Halloween themes, but should review the official Disney costume guidelines before arriving so their look is both creative and event-appropriate. To make the most of the night, planners recommend reviewing event details in advance, checking the Disneyland app for the event guide — which includes entertainment schedules and mobile ordering for event-exclusive food and treats — and arriving early to map out must-do experiences before the 6:00 PM start.

How It Differs From Halloween Time

Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort is included with regular theme park admission and features seasonal décor, Halloween-themed attractions and limited-time offerings across the Resort. Oogie Boogie Bash, by contrast, is a separate, limited-capacity, after-hours ticketed event with exclusive Halloween entertainment, Characters and trick-or-treating — and often shorter wait times on attractions. Importantly, attending the Bash requires only the event ticket; no separate daytime theme park ticket is needed, since early admission from 3:00 PM is built in.

If the Party Sells Out

Because capacity is limited, nights can sell out. If that happens, there is still plenty of spooky fun during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort, including Plaza de la Familia and seasonal touches throughout the parks, a ride on Haunted Mansion Holiday in Disneyland Park, and Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree over in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure.

Extend the Magic With a Resort Stay

For Guests traveling in for the party, staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel like the Disneyland Hotel offers an easy way to extend the celebration across multiple days and soak up the seasonal atmosphere without rushing home after 11:00 PM.

What This Means for Disney Fans

For West Coast Disney fans, Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party remains the marquee way to celebrate the season at Disney California Adventure Park, and the popular nights — especially weekends and the October 31 finale — historically sell out fast. With general admission opening June 18, 2026 (and Magic Key pre-sales as early as June 16), fans hoping to lock in a specific date or a lower-priced August night should be ready when the waiting room opens around 8:45 AM Pacific. D23 Members get their own dedicated night on September 27, and those who miss out can still find spirited fun during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort.
