2023 Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween Guide: Food, Tips, Tickets and more!

Fresh from my return from my very first visit to Oogie Boogie Bash, I am so excited to share everything that this truly fun event has to offer!

If you are like me and a Walt Disney World native, this is not like Mickey’s Not-So Scary Halloween Party.

You get the familiarity of what you have come to expect from a Disney Parks special event. At the same time, you get to experience things unique to Disney California Adventure.

And if you are not terribly familiar with the layout of the park itself, it can get extra tricky.

So if you’re wondering, Is Oogie Boogie Bash worth it?

Today, I am going to be touching base on everything that this sold-out event has to offer to its visitors including entertainment, meet and greets and more!

So, enter if you dare!

I used my extra time to explore Avengers Campus a bit more and line up for a character meet-and-greet.

How Much are Oogie Boogie Bash Tickets?

Pricing varies by date, but rule of thumb generally is the closer you get to Halloween night and into October, the higher the cost.

The Oogie Boogie Bash price range is from $129-$179.

Does Oogie Boogie Bash Sell Out?

What Does Oogie Boogie Bash Include?

Everything that is featured in this event can be very overwhelming, especially if you are not familiar with the layout.

It’s also confusing if you’re only familiar with Mickey’s Not-So Scary Halloween Party and/or this is your first special event with a Disney Park.

I was fortunate to be slightly familiar with the lay of the land, had a friend show me around prior to the party opening as my dear friend knew where everything was.

The party map isn’t very detailed so I will do my best to give you the locations for everything.

Something to note is that this list of characters does not include the Disney Halloween Treat Trails.

Just know that some attractions may be down for maintenance so always double check to see what’s closed before your visit.

Disney California Adventure Rides With a Halloween Touch

You’ll be happy to know that during Halloween at this Disneyland Resort theme park, there are attractions that will have an extra spooky layer.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Monsters After Dark

Mission Breakout has a special Halloween overlay called “Monsters After Dark.”

It only features a storyline with Rocket Raccoon and Groot and the ride is essentially the same but a bit on the scarier side. Proceed with caution if you have little ones.

Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind in Avenger's Campus Halloween at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Oogie Boogie Bash Party Food, Tips, Dates and more Disney Halloween Guide.

Here’s another thing to note from my personal experience.

Upon entering the building, the experience features consistently flashing red and blue lights that honestly did kind of bother me a bit.

I’m not normally sensitive to flashing lights but it did give me a headache after a while. If you are sensitive to it, be mindful of that or let a Cast Member know ahead of time.

I would also consider utilizing the park’s Disability Access Service to bypass, so you won’t be affected.

Halloween at Carsland in Disney California Adventure

Radiator Springs or “Carsland” also gets in the haunted spirit with a special Halloween overlay.

While this is available during normal operating hours, if you don’t plan on doing a whole park day before the party, it’s possibly worth checking out!

4. Mickey’s Trick and Treat

Something I have not really seen mentioned is the super adorable show located where the Disney Junior Dance Party takes place during operating hours.

“Mickey’s Trick and Treat” show follows Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy dressed to the nines in their best Halloween costumes in an interactive dance party, along with a not-so scary story.

5. Frightfully Fun Parade

This spookily delightful parade starts in the very back of Paradise Gardens Park, making its way up to Buena Vista Street and through Hollywoodland ending right next to Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout.

This parade features a plethora of villains along with some amazing, Haunted Mansion ghoulish delight, Nightmare Before Christmas shrieks and so much more!

I am admittedly used to Boo To You Parade at Walt Disney World’s Mickey’s Not-So Scary Halloween Party.

Mickey’s Boo To You Halloween Parade at Walt Disney World Resort

With that being said, I did find the parade a bit short but it was not short on the fun aspect. I enjoyed seeing the characters and parade performers do their thing!

And similar to the Boo to You Parade at Walt Disney World, the Haunted Mansion section was my favorite.

Also similar, the Headless Horseman signals the parade’s arrival.

For Oogie Boogie’s Halloween Parade, Ichabod Crane joins the headless horseman, whereas for Mickey’s Not-So Scary Halloween Party, he does not.

What time is the Disney Halloween parade at Oogie Boogie Bash?

The parade showtimes are 7:45 p.m. and 10 p.m. but plan to get your spots at least 30 minutes prior if you can (final details pending for 2023).

6. Villains Grove

This is one of the best things to do at Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween Party!

I saved this for the very last thing to do for the evening and it was truly a special way to end my very first Ooogie Boogie Bash.

Villains Grove is a truly hauntingly beautiful walkthrough experience that is inspired by some fantastic Disney Villains.

I was very glad to see Frollo, my favorite disney villain, get his own section in the grove as he gets little to no representation.

It is interactive, very ethereal and dreamlike AND is an excellent place for Instagrammers to capture some truly jaw-dropping shots.

10 Disney Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween Party Tips for Beginners

Being as though I was tagging along with some seasoned veterans for the party, I can happily share some helpful tips and things I learned from my own experience.

All Hallows Eve Celebration at Carthay Circle and Victoria as Dolores Madrigal from Encanto at Halloween at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Oogie Boogie Bash Party Food, Tips, Dates and more Disney Halloween Guide.

1. Bring Your Own Candy Bag

At check in, you are provided with a trick-or-treat bag; however, I completely filled my bag up with two of the villains treat trails alone!

31 Nights of Halloween Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Halloween Event at Oogie Boogie Bash Food, Tips, Dates and more Disney Halloween Guide.

I ended up buying a reusable Disney Parks bag. So, I would recommend bringing your own decent sized bag if possible.

2. Experience Monsters After Dark Early

The Halloween overlay for the Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout attraction actually started at 3 p.m. on my visit!

Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout Ride Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Halloween Event at Oogie Boogie Bash Food, Tips, Dates and more Disney Halloween Guide.

You can arrive as early as 2:45 p.m. to be completed as late as 3:30 p.m.! One less thing to do during the Disney California Adventure Halloween party.

3. Take Advantage of the Early Entry at Oogie Boogie Bash

Early entry for guests start at 3 p.m. and check in has its own separate line. I arrived at 2:50 p.m. and the line was already fairly long.

31 Nights of Halloween on Freeform with Spider Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Halloween Event at Oogie Boogie Bash Food, Tips, Dates and more Disney Halloween Guide.

If you plan on spending the day in the park beforehand, there are various stations within the park you can check in at. I would use this time to grab a bite and get a lat of the land.

4. Request Allergy Friendly Candy

You can request allergy friendly candy at the trick-or-treat trails. Just ask a Disney Cast Member!

This is one of the best additions to this Disneyland Halloween event.

5. Prioritize What is Most Important to You

Whichever is most important for you to do, especially characters, do those first! Lines can be a wee bit unpredictable as far as how long they can be.

Minnie Mouse as a Sanderson Sister from Hocus Pocus Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Halloween Event at Oogie Boogie Bash Food, Tips, Dates and more Disney Halloween Guide.

For example, we waited for Minnie Mouse, Clarabelle and Daisy Duck as the Sanderson Sisters. I was told it would be a 45 minute wait, but we completed it in half the time.

Marabel as a Sanderson Sister from Hocus Pocus Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Halloween Event at Oogie Boogie Bash Food, Tips, Dates and more Disney Halloween Guide.

Nonetheless, I would suggest getting to the most important line for you 15 minutes before 6 p.m.

This allowed me to be 3rd in line to meet Bruno and I was then able to focus on other treat trails.

6. Take Advantage of the Special Magic Keyholder Trail

If you are a Magic Keyholder, there is a special trail for you at Silly Symphony Swings that features a special keepsake gift and a fun Nightmare Before Christmas photo-op!

More details for the 2023 special experiences for Magic Keyholders coming soon.

7. Know the Best times for Frightfully Fun Oogie Boogie Halloween Parade

I would highly recommend doing the second parade and scoping out a parade spot in the Carthay Circle restaurant area.

Carthay Circle Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Halloween Event at Oogie Boogie Bash Food, Tips, Dates and more Disney Halloween Guide.

There is plenty of lighting and its a great way to make a swift park exit if you plan to leave afterwards.

Keep in mind it won’t get to that part of the park probably until 10:30 p.m., but I would grab a spot at about 10 to 10:10 p.m.

8. Know the Best Time for Treat Trails at Oogie Boogie Bash

I am one of the mindsets that if i am going to do anything at these kind f events, I will be getting my fill of candy.

Treat Trail Path Halloween at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Oogie Boogie Bash Party Food, Tips, Dates and more Disney Halloween Guide.

I found that doing the Villains Treat Trails, especially Ernesto’s had little to no wait during the first parade.

All Hallow's Eve Celebration at Carthay Circle Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Halloween Event at Oogie Boogie Bash Food, Tips, Dates and more Disney Halloween Guide.

Not only that, but I was also able to get extra interaction time because of it with the characters.

9. Be Mindful When Taking Photos in Meet and Greets

While you can get photos on your own phone during the meet and greets and Villains Trail, Photopass is free during the event and the photos come out great!

Ernesto De La Cruz from CoCo on Stage Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Halloween Event at Oogie Boogie Bash Food, Tips, Dates and more Disney Halloween Guide.

What I would suggest is to ask the Disney Cast Member to take a video for you while Photopass does its thing.

This way, you can still have a fun interaction and it helps the Cast Members keep the line moving efficiently. And as always, be kind and thank the Cast Members!

10. Have Fun at this Disneyland Resort Halloween Event!

Be sure to enjoy yourself while at this California theme park and don’t get too stressed if you’re not able to experience everything on your first visit.
