Oogie Boogie Bash 2025: Everything You Need to Know

Well, well, well, what have we here? Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party* is creeping up very soon at 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.

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 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.

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 – just make sure to follow the costume guidelines.

Going out in full glam? A talented team of Disney stylists at Tenaya Stone Spa in Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa can complete your look with makeup and hair stylings inspired by classic Disney characters and princesses. Learn more by clicking here or calling 714-300-7310.

If themed shirts and sweaters are more your style, check out our Halloween merch guide for Disney apparel to sport, such as the Mickey Mouse Family Halloween Collection and The Haunted Mansion Collection.

Tip: Pack a sweater for when the breeze adds extra chills. Comfortable shoes are also highly recommended.

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.

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 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.

In addition to the special party offerings, take advantage of shorter wait times for select rides. It’s a great opportunity to experience popular ones like Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark!, Toy Story Midway Mania! (which currently has some special nods to the 70^th Celebration) and Incredicoaster.

Before the party officially starts, delight in food and drink available during regular park hours. There will be so many seasonal options to try beginning Aug. 22, from a pumpkin pie churro to an achiote half-chicken. Get the full menus in the Disneyland Halloween Foodie Guide and What’s Cooking at Plaza de la Familia.
