Aloha and welcome to planDisney, Anne. Woohoo! I'm so excited to hear that you were able to secure tickets for the spooktacular
Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party. This is a great question and I'm simply dying to answer it.
I'm thrilled to share that you do not need to make a theme park reservation for your Oogie Boogie Bash ticket. Your reservation to attend the party is included and taken care of with the purchase of this special event ticket. You can enter Disney California Adventure Park as early as 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the day of the bash. If you'd like to visit the theme park before this time, you will need to purchase a separate theme park ticket and make a theme park reservation. I always take advantage of this extra time to fuel up with food and drinks to make sure I have all the energy I need to tackle all of the treat trails. The
Disneyland app is my best friend for
mobile ordering food and beverages to reduce wait times and avoid getting "hangry."
Have you started conjuring up costume ideas for the bash? I love seeing all of the other Guests' costumes and the creativity that went into them. I should probably start making my plans - I wouldn't want to disappoint Oogie Boogie and the other villains. Quick tip, bring a larger study bag with you if you plan on visiting all of the treat trails. While you are provided with a bag at check-in, you will find that it fills up wickedly quickly.
Anne, I hope this is helpful as you are preparing for this frighteningly fantastic evening. Let us know if we can help answer any other questions as you continue to plan. Don't be shy and "hurry baaaaack" with all of your questions.
Happy haunting!
Michelle
