Well, well, well, what have we here? Oogie Boogie Bash—A Disney Halloween Party has crept into Disneyland Resort, and we have the official guide to all the fun.
On select nights from Aug. 17 through Oct. 31, 2025, the separately ticketed, after-hours party at Disney California Adventure park conjures Halloween mischief and mayhem for guests of all ages.
At the time of publishing, tickets are available for select dates in August. For those celebrating Summerween, Oogie Boogie Bash is an exciting way to start the spooky festivities early.
What’s Included with a Ticket to Oogie Boogie Bash?
On event nights, the party officially begins at 6:00 p.m. and continues until 11:00 p.m. That is five exciting hours to enjoy Halloween experiences you can only find at this after-hours soiree.
Pre-party park mix-in: Oogie Boogie Bash tickets include admission to California Adventure as early as 3:00 p.m. – three hours before the party starts! During this time, check out the offerings available during regular park hours.
Photos from the party: Enjoy unlimited digital downloads of Disney PhotoPass** photos captured during the party. Scan the QR code on your event wristband via the Disneyland app to access your photo gallery. The pictures can be downloaded from your MyDisney account as often as desired, up to 45 days after initial capture.
Commemorative event guide: The beautifully designed map is handy to reference during the party, and afterwards, it is a collectible keepsake to remember your visit.
Oogie Boogie Bash Costume Tips and Dress Code
One of the perks of Oogie Boogie Bash is the opportunity for everyone to dress up in costume. You’re invited to get creative, devise a devious disguise, or bring out your villainous side – make sure to follow the costume guidelines.

Treat Trails and Character Encounters
Kids and kids-at-heart can collect treats – including M&M’S, SKITTLES, SNICKERS, and more – at 12 treat trails! But be warned, you’ll encounter villains and other legendary misfits along the way.
Cast members are available at every Treat Trail to offer alternative options for guests looking for allergy-friendly and no-sugar-added treats.
You can also meet Disney characters dressed in Halloween outfits and some friends making rare appearances at special greeting locations around the park.
“Frightfully Fun Parade”
Scheduled to perform 7:45 p.m. and 10 p.m. on party nights
The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow, Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, happy haunts from the Haunted Mansion, and more take to the streets of California Adventure during the “Frightfully Fun Parade.” It’s a wicked gathering you can only witness during Oogie Boogie Bash.
Bookable for an additional fee, the Oogie Boogie Bash Dessert Party includes preferred seating for the “Frightfully Fun Parade,” delectable treats, beverages, and a collectible enamel pin. As the parade processes through the park, dig into freeze-dried fruit with gummy worms, a blueberry ooze cake, mini cupcakes, and more. Advanced reservations are highly recommended.
Villains Grove at Redwood Creek Challenge Trail
Villains Grove at the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is a walkthrough of surreal scenescapes inspired by iconic Disney Villains. Mystical lights, sights, and sounds immerse you in the auras of Dr. Facilier, Frollo, Scar, and other best-loved baddies.
Shorter Ride Wait Times

It’s a great opportunity to experience popular ones like Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark!, Toy Story Midway Mania!
