It’s TIME.

Oogie Boogie Bash — A Disneyland Halloween Party at Disney California Adventure starts tonight! This sold-out after-hours event takes place across 25 nights between September 5th and October 31st. On these nights, Oogie Boogie (with some of his fellow villains) hosts a fun-filled Halloween extravaganza where guests are invited to wear costumes, attend themed parades, dine on exclusive snacks, and more. We’re attending the first night of the party, so follow along to see how it goes!

Getting Started

The Bash officially starts at 6PM and ends at 11PM, but guests of the party can enter the park as early as 3PM. With the party starting so early, it’s important to know that California Adventure closes at 6PM on party nights.

Once you arrive, you can pick up your wristband for the event!

Crowds

We arrived at 3PM for this sold-out party, and crowds were already queued up!

It looks like we’re not the only ones who are ready to PARTAY!

Despite how long the line looked, it only took us a few minutes to get inside.

Here’s a look at some of the crowds throughout the night!

Party Map

As you enter the party, you can pick up your exclusive party map with all the pertinent information that you need!

The guide is full of great information, including showtimes, treat trail spots, character locations, and more.

It also just has a general map of the park with important facilities marked with special symbols.

Along with your park map, you’ll get a wristband! These wristbands allow Disney Cast Members to tell party guests apart from those with day tickets. It makes it much easier to usher the day guests out of the park when it’s time for Oogie Boogie Bash to start.

You’ll want to keep this band on throughout the whole night. This is the way that you prove you paid for admission.

Now that we’ve got the basics, let’s check out some of the exclusive party offerings!

Photo Ops

There are numerous places where you can snap a family picture during the party! There are photo ops spread throughout the park, as well as several PhotoPass photographers around.

That’s everything we’ve seen so far. Stay tuned to this post throughout the night as we update with more excitement at Oogie Boogie Bash! We’ll include all the entertainment, characters, snacks, merchandise, and more!
