When the lights go dim and the infamous Disney villains come out of their lairs, you know it’s going to be a GOOD time. We’re talking dance parties, trick-or-treat trails, rare character meet-and-greets, and even an exclusive parade! What more could you ask for on a spooky fall night at Disney California Adventure?!
There’s a reason Disney’s Oogie Boogie Bash is one of the most popular events of the year! This special after-hours event often sells out months in advance, and with so much to see and do, you’re in for a busy night of tricks and treats! So, want to see what’s available at a sold-out party in Disneyland? Come along with us, and let’s have some FUN!
Oogie Boogie Bash is a separately ticketed event at Disney California Adventure. During the party, the park is totally transformed with all kinds of fun, spooky details! The event is five hours long, and there’s a LOT to do to keep you busy throughout the night. We especially love the exclusive Halloween-themed entertainment, immersive treat trails, and Halloween-themed attractions.
The event runs on select nights in August, September, and October, but, as we said, tickets are completely sold out at this time. If you were lucky enough to snag a ticket, make sure you’re in the park by 6PM. That’s when the event officially begins and runs until 11PM. That said, your event ticket will get you into Disney California Adventure Park as early as 3PM, so get there early if you want a head start! Remember that the Oogie Boogie-exclusive offerings won’t come out until 6PM.
Oh, and here’s another important note. Lightning Lane Multi Pass is NOT available during the event, so just hop in the standby line if you’re interested in those California Adventure rides. We recommend visiting Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree if you’re looking for a spooky Halloween attraction to visit during the event.
When you first arrive, make sure to pick up an event guide. This thing is SUPER important! It will tell you where to find all the rare characters, treat trails, limited-time treats, and more. Make sure to seek out some PhotoPass Cast Members during the event, too! Your party ticket gets you unlimited downloads of Disney PhotoPass photos taken during the event.
One of the best parts of the event is the Immersive Treat Trails. Here, you can trick-or-treat all around the park, enjoying some classic snack-size candy like Skittles, M&M’s, and Snickers. Yum, yum, and YUM! What really makes these treat trails special, though, are the VILLAINS! That’s right. You’ll find rare Disney villains, like Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, lurking around the trails.
You can even see Hades in Hades Hideaway at Hollywood Land this year! He’s a brand-new Villain at Oogie Boogie Bash, and he looks marvelous. You’ll want to keep a close eye on him for his amazing hair trick.
Up next, it’s time for the Frightfully Fun Parade! This is an exclusive cavalcade starring Mickey, Minnie, and some of your favorite Disney villains! This isn’t quite as long as the Boo-to-You parade in Disney World, but it’s a great bite-sized parade that you should check out during the event! Check your event guide for the schedule, and get there early for a good viewing location.
It wouldn’t be the Oogie Boogie Bash without a visit through Villains Grove! The Redwood Creek Challenge Trail comes ALIVE during the event — this walkthrough experience is filled with special lightning and Disney Villain details.
Time for a snack! Disney has all kinds of spooky snacks this year, like the Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Strips and the Orange Chicken Strips at Flo’s V8 Cafe.
Happy Halloween! As you can see, there’s a lot to do at this year’s event, and we love to check out all the special characters and Disney Villains. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
