Is Oogie Boogie Bash Worth It? A Guide to Disneyland’s Spooky Spectacular
If you’ve wondered whether Oogie Boogie Bash is worth grabbing a ticket to, here’s what you can expect from Disneyland’s crazy popular Halloween party, returning in 2024!
Special Characters: One of the highlights of Oogie Boogie Bash is the surprise appearance of special characters. Your ticket includes unlimited Disney PhotoPass downloads. This means you can download and post all of the photos that Disney photographers take of you throughout the event. Often these are at photo ops and with characters! While not all characters have designated photo spots, many do, making this feature a memorable one.
Complimentary Candy: Oogie Boogie Bash is known for its Villain Treat Trails. These unique experiences not only provide you with heaps of candy but also offer close encounters with some of Disney’s most infamous villains. It’s a trick-or-treating that only Disneyland can provide, mixing Halloween treats with spooky character interactions.
Attractions: During the event, most of the park’s attractions remain open, including special Halloween-themed rides in Cars Land and an even scarier overlay of Guardians of the Galaxy. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or prefer more the more laid back rides, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, you get into the event usually three hours before it begins, so you can take advantage of even more rides before the night begins.
Merchandise & More: Exclusive merchandise and unique snacks are another perk of attending Oogie Boogie Bash. From exclusive items to festive treats, you’ll find plenty of goodies that are only available during this special event. However, last year there weren’t as many treats exclusive to the party, you can find many of DCA’s Halloween goodies at the event.
Overall, Oogie Boogie Bash offers a fun and festive atmosphere with the added benefit of limited crowds. Running most Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from August 25 through October 31, ticket prices range from $134 to $189. Be sure to act fast, as this Halloween event sells out quickly! I’ll post an update when tickets drop!
