Hola, Ana! Welcome to
planDisney! I love how you’re thinking ahead to the spookiest party around -
Ooogie Boogie Bash! This after-hours party is a favorite in my family, as we love planning family costumes. Let’s get you and all the ghastly ghouls in your group to the best party in town!
Disney will not provide official dates for quite a while. I would definitely consider waiting until there is a clearer indication about the exact dates. For instance,
Disney Parks Blog published an article on December 2, 2025, that listed the Oogie Boogie Bash dates for 2026. That means a firm answer will require some patience. If you look at the last couple of years, most of the dates are on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday nights, with a few exceptions. You could book a date range sometime between late August and October 31st and assume that one of the nights will be an Ooogie Boogie night, though I still think I’d wait to be safe.
It’s also important to consider that sometimes tickets sell out quickly. I’d hate for you to plan a trip and then not get tickets! The dates in late August and early September are more likely to be available, but it means you’ll have to plan your
costume a little early. For you, that doesn’t seem like it will be a problem. You’re planning so far ahead already! Tickets usually go on sale around the middle of June, so pay close attention to
Disney Parks Blog to get the official scoop on ticket sales!
Ana, you’ve made a great decision! Oogie Boogie Bash is the perfect event for the Disney fanatic in all of us. Exclusive merch and food offerings, special villain encounters,
shows,
treat trails, and new to this year -
Madame Leota's Swinging Wake - A Haunted Mansion Street Party! It’ll be a frightfully good time. My best tip is to purchase a ticket for the day you’re attending Oogie Boogie Bash to enjoy the parks, but
get a locker in California Adventure at the beginning of the day to store your costume. It’ll come in handy throughout the night! When your bags get a little heavy from the treat trails, you can stash some of the candy there to lighten your load!
I hope this trip comes together for you and you have the spookiest time.
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort has so much to offer, and I’m sure you’ll love every minute of it. As you get closer to your trip, planning questions are sure to arise. Come right back to
planDisney, and we’ll be here for you.
I hope you have a magical day!
