Ghoulish greetings to you, Dakota. Welcome to planDisney and thanks for sharing this spooktacular question with us. It won't be long until the Disneyland Resort is made over with fall decorations and the giant Mickey pumpkin will be greeting you on Main Street, U.S.A.
That's right, the official start of
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort is less than two months away. Now that's something to scream about! Your ticket to
Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party will grant you access and entrance into Disney California Adventure Park for the special event only.
There's good news though, Dakota. Your ticket also allows you to enjoy Disney California Adventure Park for up to three hours before the party starts at 6:00 p.m. My friends and I like to use this time to get all of our
Mobile Food and Beverage Ordering lined up for the evening so we're not scrambling for time slots later in the evening. If you'd like to enjoy the park before this time, you will need a separate theme park ticket and theme park reservation.
One of my favorite things to do during the bash is to make sure I hit all of the character treat trails - Cruella and Ernesto de la Cruz were a couple of my favorites from last year. And make sure to take advantage of the unlimited downloads of
Disney PhotoPass digital photos captured during the event from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. I've found that a lot of the lines for these photo ops get shorter towards the latter part of the evening. However, if there's a character you absolutely must have your picture with, make sure to do that first as these ops can be very popular with very long lines.
I hope this has been helpful, Dakota. As you may know, ticket sales for Oogie Boogie Bash will resume tomorrow, July 11 no earlier than 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. I'll be wishing you all the luck and hope Oogie Boogie's dice roll in your favor to secure your desired date. Please come back to share any other frightening questions you may have. Until then, happy haunting!
