Ghoulish greetings to you, Franz. Thanks for stopping by with this spooktacular question that I'm simply dying to answer.
It's a new year which means lots of new fun in store at the Disneyland Resort. Disney Parks Blog recently posted a
2024 Disneyland Event Calendar and we know that
Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party will indeed be returning this year. What remains a mystery is what the exact party dates are and when tickets for this frighteningly fantastic event will go on sale. I did a little sleuthing and found a post on Disney Parks Blog from late May wherein party dates and ticket sale dates were announced. I recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog around this time for any updates and announcements. If you aren't already, I also recommend following
@disneyparks on Instagram as updates are made there as well.
Are you a gambling person like Oogie Boogie, Franz? There is a strategy that I've used in the past to book my hotel in advance of knowing the exact party dates, but it does involve risk. If you look at the
announcement post from last May, you will see all party dates listed. I picked up on a pattern of the dates and used this to guestimate when I thought party dates might be for the upcoming year and booked my hotel accordingly. I always make sure to carefully read and understand the hotel's change and cancellation policy in case I need to use it and understand any penalties I might be responsible for. As I said, there is definitely risk involved when taking this path and I'm always hoping Oogie Boogie doesn't roll the snake eyes. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't.
It's also important to remember that there's no guarantee and the details of these events are subject to change until they are officially announced. I'm certainly not saying you should use this strategy (it's not for the faint of heart), and only sharing something that I've done in the past. Like you, I will be waiting with bated breath for any Oogie Boogie Bash updates and announcements that I can sink my teeth into.
I'm sorry this isn't the answer you were hoping to hear, Franz. However, I hope the information I've shared is helpful. I hope we see a post on Disney Parks Blog with Oogie Boogie Bash details around May or June. Please come back to see us with any other questions that we can help with.
