It’s Halloween season at Disneyland, and that means it’s time for the Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure—the ultimate Halloween party that takes Disney magic to spooky new heights! This exclusive event has everything from rare character encounters on the Villain Treat Trails to jaw-dropping shows like the Frightfully Fun Parade. With so much to see and do, here are our top five tips to make the most out of your Oogie Boogie Bash experience!
First off, resist the urge to spend the whole day at the parks before the party. Your Oogie Boogie Bash ticket grants you three mix-in hours starting from 3 p.m., followed by a five-hour event from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Utilize the earlier part of your day to rest and recharge; perhaps enjoy your hotel’s pool or explore Anaheim. You’ll want to be full of energy once the Halloween fun kicks off!
Second, eat before the festivities begin. The magic hours of Oogie Boogie Bash are too precious to waste on a meal. We recommend having your main meal during the mix-in hours. This way, you can take advantage of Disneyland’s amazing food offerings, whether it’s a quick bite or a sit-down meal, and keep your party time reserved for exclusive event attractions and entertainment.
Speaking of entertainment, catching the second showing of the Frightfully Fun Parade is a smart move. Most guests flock to the first parade, which means shorter lines for top attractions like Villains Grove or the Sanderson Sisters meet-and-greet while the first parade is running. This strategy allows you to experience more of the event’s unique offerings with less crowd interference.
Don’t forget to dress up! Oogie Boogie Bash is one of those rare occasions where adults can don costumes, so get into the Halloween spirit. Whether you go all out in a full costume or opt for some themed attire, participating enhances the festive atmosphere and often leads to delightful interactions with characters and fellow guests. Just remember to check Disney’s guidelines to ensure your costume meets the event standards.
Finally, bring your own bag for candy. Though you will receive a small bag upon entry, it might not be enough to contain all the treats you can collect along the Villain Treat Trails. A larger tote bag will allow you to maximize your candy haul—a sweet way to end your spooky night!
We hope these tips help you have the best possible experience at this year’s Oogie Boogie Bash. Have you attended before? Planning to go this year? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments, and don’t forget to share this guide with fellow Disney fans!
