Halloween at Disneyland Resort officially begins on August 22. However, the standalone event known as Oogie Boogie Bash, which has become a hallmark of the Halloween season, kicks off even earlier. Initially known as Mickey’s Halloween Party, the event was rebranded to Oogie Boogie Bash in 2019 when it relocated from Disneyland Park to Disney California Adventure Park.

As excitement builds for the Oogie Boogie Bash 2025, ticket prices are projected to range from $149 to $199. Given the history of rapid sell-outs, potential attendees are strongly encouraged to secure their tickets early. Ticket sales typically commence around late June, with guests, particularly Magic Key holders, often receiving early access. Last year, demand led to substantial queues, and it is expected that similar scenarios will unfold for this year’s sales.
Oogie Boogie Bash promises to be filled with enchanting and frightful activities. Guests can look forward to interactive trick-or-treat trails, where they can collect treats while encountering beloved Disney characters. The ever-popular Frightfully Fun Parade will also return, showcasing a myriad of Disney villains and festive floats.
Additionally, the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail will transform into Villains Grove once again, providing a unique walkthrough experience that highlights various Disney villains in a mesmerizing setting.
One of the highlights of the Oogie Boogie Bash is the opportunity for guests to engage with rare and beloved Disney characters. For the 2025 event, there will be a selection of new villainous characters making their debut. Disney’s commitment to introducing new faces each year adds an exciting layer to the event, with past additions including characters from popular franchises. Guests are encouraged to attend in costume to enhance the festive atmosphere and participate in the Halloween spirit fully.
