Oogie Boogie Bash 2026: Ticket Dates, New Street Party, and What to Expect

Oogie Boogie Bash 2026 is officially on the calendar — and this year comes with a brand-new street party that’s going to be a must-see. Disney California Adventure hosts the Halloween party on select nights from August 18 through October 31, with 33 party nights total. General public tickets go on sale June 18, 2026. Here’s everything you need to know before you buy, including what’s new at Oogie Boogie Bash 2026.

Quick Summary

Oogie Boogie Bash 2026 Ticket On-Sale Dates

Tickets roll out in waves, and if you’re a Magic Key holder, you get early access:

• June 16 — Inspire Magic Key Holders pre-sale (limited tickets)
• June 17 — All Magic Key Holders pre-sale (limited tickets)
• June 18 — General public, no earlier than 9am PST

Sunday, September 27 is a D23 Members-only night. Tickets for that specific date go on sale June 16 via D23.com. If you’re a D23 member, that’s the date to target — it’ll be a smaller, more curated crowd.

What’s Included With Your Ticket

Party hours run 6pm to 11pm, but your ticket also gets you into California Adventure starting at 3pm — a full three hours of early access before the event begins. Unlimited Disney PhotoPass digital downloads from the party are included with your admission, which is a solid perk given how many photo opportunities the event has.

What’s New at Oogie Boogie Bash 2026: Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake

The headline new addition is “Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake – A Haunted Mansion Street Party.” Madame Leota hosts a spirited séance and swinging wake across multiple show-stopping moments, with 999 happy haunts, ghostly dancing, and ghoulish character appearances woven throughout.

If you’re a Haunted Mansion fan, this is the new experience to plan your night around. Disney has been leaning hard into Haunted Mansion IP since the film, and a dedicated street party around the property is a logical next step.

An optional Oogie Boogie Bash Dessert Party pairs with the street party, giving you an enhanced viewing experience plus a themed treat spread from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Reservations open on Disneyland.com later this summer.

Returning Favorites

Trick-or-Treating

Trick-or-treating runs along themed treat trails throughout California Adventure. You’ll also find not-often-seen Disney villains and Halloween-dressed characters scattered across the park — this is one of the best character-meeting opportunities on the Disneyland Resort calendar each year.

Villains Grove

Villains Grove transforms the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail into a walkthrough experience inspired by Disney villains including the Queen of Hearts and Dr. Facilier. It’s atmospheric, immersive, and one of the more underrated experiences at the party.

The Headless Horseman

On select evenings, Ichabod Crane races through California Adventure with the Headless Horseman in pursuit. It’s one of the most impressive live entertainment moments at any Disney park event — worth timing your evening to catch.

Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort

Oogie Boogie Bash is the ticketed party, but Halloween Time runs across the entire Disneyland Resort from August 21 through October 31, and you don’t need a party ticket to enjoy most of it. Daytime California Adventure highlights include Radiator Screams in Cars Land with Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree, Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark in Avengers Campus, and Mickey’s Trick and Treat at the Disney Theater starting August 18.

Over at Disneyland park, Haunted Mansion Holiday returns with a brand-new gingerbread house design in the ballroom. The Main Street Pumpkin Festival gets a new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge tribute near the Partners Statue featuring Chewbacca and the Millennium Falcon. Each evening, “Halloween Screams” projects Maleficent, Ursula, and other villains across Sleeping Beauty Castle, Main Street, and the Rivers of America — fireworks on select nights.

Plaza de la Familia and Día de los Muertos

Running August 21 through November 2, Plaza de la Familia at California Adventure celebrates Día de los Muertos with nods to Pixar’s Coco. Entertainment includes live storytellers performing songs from the film and mariachi at Paradise Garden Bandstand. The Paradise Garden Grill brings back the fan-favorite Chilaquiles Carnitas Torta for the season.

Hotels, Dining, and Extras

All three resort hotels get seasonal decor — Pixar Place Hotel with Monsters, Inc.-inspired touches, the Disneyland Hotel with Haunted Mansion theming, and the Grand Californian with its own seasonal confection display. Character dining includes Mickey’s Autumn Adventures and Clarabelle’s Enchanted Halloween Dinner at Storytellers Cafe, plus Goofy’s Kitchen Celebrates Halloween at the Disneyland Hotel. Adults 21+ get a Halloween cocktail menu at Broken Spell Lounge.

Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit — the scavenger hunt for Disney-themed pumpkin carvings across both parks and Downtown Disney — is back. Pick up an activity map at resort retail and redeem for a keepsake prize.

Ticket Deals to Know

The Kids’ Summer Ticket Offer is available through September 7, 2026. Children ages 3–9 can visit for $50 per day with a 1-Day Park Hopper Ticket. September also has $104 ticket days (1-Day, 1-Park for guests 10+) on specific dates: September 8–9, 15–17, 21–24, and 29. If you’re flexible on timing, those dates are the best value window of the fall season.

Final Thoughts

Oogie Boogie Bash 2026 looks like a strong year. The new Haunted Mansion street party is the obvious headline, and if it delivers on the concept, it’ll be the kind of experience that sells the party on its own. If you’re a Magic Key holder, set a reminder for June 16 — the best dates always go fast in the pre-sale. General public, mark June 18 at 9am PST and have your account ready before you sit down to buy.

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!
