Halloween Time and the Oogie Boogie Bash 2025
One of the most popular times of year descends upon Disneyland Resort every fall. Although we usually get official word on Oogie Boogie Bash as part of Disney’s Halfway to Halloween celebration in April of each year, this year Christmas came early with official Oogie Boogie Bash announcements in early December.
Tickets for Oogie Boogie Bash are not yet available for 2025.

We’re also excited to let you know that Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort will run August 22 - October 31, 2025. That’s one day earlier than last year, and the longest Halloween Time season to date. Oogie Boogie Bash has become one of the most exciting separately ticketed events of the year, and only happens during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort. We've answered all of your questions about the Oogie Boogie Bash below. If we missed anything, let us know and we'll add it to the article.
What is the Oogie Boogie Bash?
The Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party is just that, an incredible Halloween party that only Disney can throw. It is a private event on select nights that requires a separate ticket. The ticket includes evening theme park admission, including access to attractions, exclusive entertainment and activity options.
Did the Oogie Boogie Bash replace Mickey's Halloween Party?
Yes. If you have previously attended Mickey's Halloween Party, be aware that the Oogie Boogie Bash has replaced this event. There will not be a separate Halloween Party inside Disneyland. However, classic Halloween Time events and attractions will take place as usual throughout the resort.
In fact, Halloween Screams, which used to be exclusive to Mickey's Halloween Party, is now part of Disneyland's nighttime line up and will be available to all guests in the park. Fireworks will be part of the show on most weekend nights through Halloween Time, and the other nights will feature the music, projections and other special effects without fireworks.
Where is the Oogie Boogie Bash?
The Oogie Boogie Bash is held at Disney California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort. Your Oogie Boogie Bash ticket includes access to the park three hours before the party begins. The party begins at 6 pm, which means if you hahave a party ticket, you can get into Disney California Adventure Park as early as 3:00 pm. The party lasts until 11:00 pm..
Although Disney California Adventure Park closes at 6 pm to guests not attending the Oogie Boogie Bash, Disneyland Park will remain open to those who have a Park Hopper ticket. Additionally, Downtown Disney and the restaurants of the Disneyland Resort Hotels will also remain open later to accommodate guests who do not have a party ticket and may or may not have a Park Hopper ticket.
When is the Oogie Boogie Bash? How much are tickets?
In 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash will be held most Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday nights:
- August 17, 19, 21, 24, 26, 28, 31
- September 2, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28, 30
- October 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, 31
We do not yet have prices for 2025, but last year tickets started at $134 per person and went up to $189 per person. There are no separate prices for children, however kids ages two and younger do not need a party ticket.
How long is the Oogie Boogie Bash?
In past years, Oogie Boogie Bash began at 6:00 pm and continued until 11:00 pm PT. You were able to get into Disney California Adventure at least three hours prior to the party beginning. We anticipate that to be the same for 2025, however, we will update this article once it has been released by Disney. That's up to eight full hours of Disney Halloween fun included with your Oogie Boogie Bash ticket! And with limited capacity during the party, you'll be able to do a LOT.What exclusives are part of the Oogie Boogie Bash?
This is the most exciting part of all. The Oogie Boogie Bash has so many exclusive offerings available at the party. Here is a quick breakdown of what to expect:
- Immersive Treat Trails- Fill your trick-or-treat bags with all sorts of sweets along spooktacular trick-or-treat trails. You'll love the Halloween-inspired music, decor, and may even encounter a villain or two!
- "Frightfully Fun Parade" - This hit parade from Mickey's Halloween Party has now found a new home at Disney California Adventure Park as part of the Oogie Boogie Bash. The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow leads the parade followed by Mickey and Minnie, Disney villains and much more. It's a frightfully good time!
- Villains Grove- If you think you know Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, the woodsy area of Disney California Adventure Park, think again. It will be completely transformed into a Halloween dreamland with colors, sounds, lights and shadows. You'll find Frollo's Sanctuary, Maleficent's Will, Scar's Elephant Graveyard, The Wicked Queen's Lightning Forest, and so much more.
- Character Encounters - Not only will the villains be out in scores, you'll also find some of your favorite classic Disney Characters dressed in their Halloween best. You'll want to have your camera ready to say "cheese!"
What rides are open during Oogie Boogie Bash?
Most of the attractions at Disney California Adventure Park will be open for the party if they are also open during the day. However, in the past, there's one attraction that was only open at night during Halloween Time and only at Disney California Adventure Park. Guardians of the Galaxy - Monsters After Dark.
In addition to Guardians of the Galaxy - Monsters After Dark, Cars Land will become the town of Radiator Screams. The Oogie Boogie Bash is a great time to ride Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween and Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree, as well as your other favorite DCA attractions.
How do I get tickets for Oogie Boogie Bash?
Tickets are not yet available for 2025. Tickets usually go on sale in early summer. We will update this article with more information when sale dates are released. Tickets are sold exclusively on disneyland.com.

Hi Victoria, great question! You will need a Park Hopper if you want to Park Hop once Disney's California Adventure Closes. If you want to upgrade, you will need to make new Park Reservations with your new ticket numbers. You can give us a call at 855-GET-AWAY and we would love to help you!
VictoriaOctober 16 2022
If we have a ticket for California Adventure the day of Oogie Boogie Bash, can we park hop with that after the park closes for the event? Or do we have to buy a park hopper? Seems like we should be able to switch since we do not get the full day. If not, is there a way to upgrade to a park hopper if we already have tickets?
Get Away TodaySeptember 29 2022
The Oogie Boogie Bash is for party ticket holders only. Disney's California Adventure Park will close early for the event. We recommend purchasing a Park Hopper ticket so you can go over to Disneyland Park during the party. Have so much fun!

If I have a Disney California Adventure ticket for the day, can I stay for the Oogie Boogie event? Even for a little while??

Hi Diana! The Oogie Boogie Bash ticket is only good for entrance into California Adventure for the party. If you are wanting to visit Disneyland and California Adventure earlier in the day and to hop, you will need to purchase a regular park ticket.

Hi Mary! Great question. California Adventure will close early each day of the party, and guests will be required to show proof of their party ticket in order to stay in the Parks during the party hours.
Diana August 16 2021
You me mentioned about a hopper pass… I want to attend the bash but on the site it doesn’t give you an option for the two parks other than just the ticket for the party. How would I go about having access to both parks (as a package) without having to buy two completely separate tickets??
MaryAugust 13 2021
Its my first time visiting Disneys California Adventure and I only purchased tickets for my family for the day. I was completely unaware of the Oogie Boogie Bash. Does this mean at 5pm staff will go around asking guest to provide proof that they paid for to the special event? Are those who didn't purchase tickets to the special event allowed to linger past 6pm? - Thank you

Hi Jenn! Only Disney California Adventure closes early for the party. If you have a Park Hopper, you can hop over to Disneyland for the remainder of your day. :)

Hi Bre! The Oogie Boogie Bash is a separately ticketed event. You don't need to have a Park Hopper if you are attending the Oogie Boogie Bash as your party ticket allows you to get in to Disney California Adventure for the party the night of your ticket.
Jenn in AZJuly 09 2021
Hi! I may have missed this info, but do both parks close early for the bash? He are planning to be at Disneyland on one of the nights the bash is held and only have a single park ticket. TIA!!
BreJuly 08 2021
Hi! If I’m spending the day at Disneyland, should I purchase a park hopper ticket so I can attend the oogie boogie bash? Or do I need to purchase two totally different tickets for each? What’s the best way to go about attending both parks. I’ll be going on a Thursday in October.

Lynda- This is a great question! If you enter Disney California Adventure Park before 6pm and you plan to stay with your Oogie Boogie Bash ticket, you will need to get a wrist band. To do so, enter DCA with your regular theme park admission. Then, look for a a spot at Blue Sky Cellar or nearby to get your Oogie Boogie Bash ticket scanned. You'll then be issued a wrist band that will allow you to stay in the Park from 6 - 11pm during the Bash. If you have Park Hopper tickets and start the day in Disneyland, you will do the same process; hop over to DCA, scan you tickets and then scan your Oogie Boogie Bash ticket and get a wrist band for the party.
LyndaOctober 12 2019
Are you given the wrist band when you enter CA, or do you have to leave the park and reenter at 6:00 pm?
