Hi Ally,
Welcome to planDisney! Sounds like you have a good group of henchmen coming along with you to the Disneyland Resort Parks for some good Halloween Time fun! I am happy to share my advice from my own experience trying to get
Oogie Boogie Bash tickets.
You and your whole party can purchase your Oogie Boogie Bash tickets together. Tickets for this spooky event go on sale for general admission on June 26, 2025. Here are my top tips for making sure that you snag tickets for you and your group:
Tip #1 – Set an alarm. The waiting room to purchase tickets will open at approximately 8:45 AM Pacific Time. Since you are on the East Coast, it’s even more important to get your times right. The earlier you get into the waiting room, the more settled you will feel when the ticket sales begin.
Tip #2 – Use multiple devices and have multiple people attempting to purchase tickets. Purchasing tickets is a team event! You have a team of five, so use that to your advantage. When I went to the Oogie Boogie Bash a couple of years ago, everyone in my party was trying to secure our tickets. We each were on three different devices (tablet, phone, and computer). Once one of us got through, the rest exited the ticket queue.
Tip #3 –
Be flexible with your dates and have backup options. If you have any flexibility with your travel plans or you’re going to be on vacation for a bit of time, have a priority date and a backup date established. This will increase your chances of getting tickets. Based on your vacation dates, you could try for September 30 and maybe October 2.
Remember, even if you are not able to grab tickets, there will still be a lot to do at the parks.
Halloween Time will be happening across the resort beginning August 22 and running through October 31. Over at California Adventure Park,
Plaza de la Familia will also be in full swing from August 22 through November 2, celebrating the spirit of Día de los Muertos.
Keep your eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the Foodie Guide for both of these celebrations. Characters will also be dressed up in their Halloween outfits. Check out this recent Disney Parks Blog article that gave us a
sneak peek into Halloween Time 2025. Have you seen
Jack Skellington’s new and improved costume!? I cannot wait to see Jack and all the residents of Halloween Town take over the
Haunted Mansion again!
Ally, I hope this was helpful information. If you have any more questions or need help planning other aspects of your trip, feel free to reach out to me or one of my fellow planDisney panelists. We are happy to add good mischief to your Halloween adventure.
Best of luck!
