The party officially begins at 6:00 p.m. and continues until 11:00 p.m., offering five hours of Halloween-themed entertainment exclusive to Oogie Boogie Bash. Ticket holders can enter Disney California Adventure as early as 3:00 p.m., giving extra time to experience attractions, dine, or shop before the event begins.

Every guest receives a commemorative event guide and enjoys unlimited Disney PhotoPass digital downloads from the party. Photos remain available for download for up to 45 days after capture.

Costumes and Dress Code

Oogie Boogie Bash allows guests of all ages to wear costumes, provided they follow Disneyland’s official guidelines. Many attendees go all-out with elaborate villain-inspired looks, while others opt for themed shirts and comfortable attire. For those seeking a complete transformation, Tenaya Stone Spa at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa offers hair and makeup services inspired by Disney characters.

Cool evenings are common in late summer and fall, so bringing a sweater is recommended, along with comfortable shoes for the amount of walking the event requires.

Treat Trails and Character Encounters

The event features 12 treat trails where guests can collect candy from brands like M&M’S, SKITTLES, and SNICKERS. Allergy-friendly and no-sugar-added options are available upon request. Along the way, iconic Disney villains and rare characters appear for photos and interaction, making these trails as much about the encounters as the treats.

Frightfully Fun Parade

The Frightfully Fun Parade is performed twice nightly, at 7:45 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., featuring the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow, Jack Skellington, Haunted Mansion spirits, and more. For an enhanced viewing experience, the Oogie Boogie Bash Dessert Party offers preferred parade seating along with themed desserts, beverages, and a collectible enamel pin. Reservations are strongly recommended for this add-on.

Villains Grove

At Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, Villains Grove transforms into a series of immersive scenes inspired by Disney villains. With lighting, music, and atmospheric effects, guests walk through spaces themed to characters such as Dr. Facilier, Frollo, and Scar.

Attractions with Shorter Wait Times

Many of Disney California Adventure’s rides remain open during the event, often with significantly shorter wait times. Highlights include:

• Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark!
• Toy Story Midway Mania! (featuring nods to the park’s 70th Celebration)
• Incredicoaster

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
