Hello there, Heather!
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for asking about one of my all-time favorite Disneyland special events! It's Oogie's turn to Boogie now! I have been lucky enough to attend Oogie Boogie Bash before and I can tell you that there is definitely a reason that the tickets sell out as fast as they do. The party is absolutely fantastic and not to be missed!
Disney has confirmed that
Oogie Boogie Bash will be returning for 2023 but specific dates have not yet been announced. Be sure to follow the
Disney Parks Blog to keep current on dates and ticket sales (you will want to act
fast on these). However, looking back at past calendar years, the event has historically been held mostly on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights between early September through Halloween, with one event definitely held on Halloween night.
Be sure to take advantage of entry into
Disney California Adventure as early as 3 p.m. where you can enjoy all the
attractions and
dining that the Park has to offer. For me, the highlight of the event is the Villain's Grove, an incredibly immersive and spell-binding walk through a transformed Redwood Creek Challenge Trail! Also, I would recommend bringing an extra bag for all the candy you will collect from treat trails. The Cast Members are very generous with their treats!
Fun Fact: Disneyland's Halloween event used to be called Mickey's Halloween Party until Oogie Boogie, who considers himself the king of Halloween, took over in 2019 and stole the party from Mickey. If you see "the spell is cast" in its advertising, they are referring to the spell Oogie Boogie uses to summon all the Disney villains into our world!
Heather, I hope this information helps you in your visit. For any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us at
planDisney anytime!
Frightfully Yours,
