Hi, Melissa! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for your question!
I am thrilled that you will be enjoying the
Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party this fall! Theme park reservations are not required for the evening you'll be attending the party. If you plan to visit the parks earlier that day using a normal ticket, a theme park reservation will be required.
With your special event ticket, you'll be able to enter Disney California Adventure Park starting at 3:00 p.m. Then the party officially kicks off at 6:00 p.m. and all the ghoulishly good times begin! There will be designated treat trails throughout the park, the Frightfully Fun Parade, special character experiences, and much more. If you had a chance to partake in the party in 2019, then you might remember the incredible experience at the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. This experience, called
Villains Grove, is back this year with the whole area transformed into bewitching scenes inspired by your favorite villains!
If you're looking to add a little extra fun and a yummy meal to your evening, you might consider purchasing the
Oogie Boogie Bash Dining Parade Package at Wine Country Trattoria. You'll get a three-course fixe-prix dinner and reserved viewing for the parade. If you're interested, make a regular dining reservation at Wine Country Trattoria between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. Then, when you arrive on your party night, just let the Cast Member at the host stand know you want to upgrade to the dining package.
I hope you have a screamingly super time at the Happiest Place on Earth!
