Hi Chris,
Welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're ready for some Halloween thrills and a journey to the Dark Side of the Force—what an epic combo! I'm thrilled to help make your Disney dreams come true.
Oogie Boogie Bash is an incredible event to add to any Disneyland Resort visit—or even as a magical standalone night, especially for locals. I had the chance to attend a couple of years ago, and it was amazing! I loved spotting rare characters like Ernesto de la Cruz, Sid, and Hades, as well as Minnie, Daisy, and Clarabelle dressed as the Sanderson Sisters—they were a total hit! I can't wait to see which villains make the lineup this year.
To plan ahead, visit the
Oogie Boogie Bash landing page for event dates and updates. While tickets aren't on sale just yet, we’re all eagerly awaiting the official announcement. I recommend keeping a close eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and following
@DisneyParksBlog on Instagram for the latest Halloween news and updates!
Now, let’s jump to hyperspace and land on
Batuu! If you're planning on becoming closer to the Force, make a reservation at
Savi’s Workshop to build your very own custom lightsaber. This is a very popular experience, so I highly recommend booking it 60 days in advance of your visit. You can also explore
Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, where you’ll find unique saber hilts, accessories, and all sorts of legendary artifacts. Take your time browsing—you never know what you’ll discover in Dok-Ondar’s mysterious collection (pro tip: see how many trooper helmets you can spot!).
I hope this helps you plan an unforgettable adventure, Chris! If you have any more questions or need a few extra tips, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We’re always here to sprinkle a little magic (or stardust) on your Disney planning.
May the Force be with you, always!
