Halloween may still be months away, but Disneyland fans already have something spooky to look forward to. Disney has officially announced the return of the wildly popular Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure, and if history is any indication, tickets are expected to disappear fast.
The after-hours Halloween celebration has become one of the hottest seasonal events at the Disneyland Resort, drawing massive crowds each year for its villain-themed entertainment, trick-or-treating, exclusive merchandise, and spooky atmosphere.
This year, Inspire Key holders will get first access to tickets beginning June 16, followed by all other Magic Key holders on June 17. In previous years, Disney opened the virtual queue around 8:45 a.m., with ticket sales beginning no earlier than 9 a.m.
Disney has not yet revealed general public ticket sale dates or pricing details for the 2026 event, but fans should be ready the moment tickets become available. In past years, many nights sold out within hours.
The five-hour party officially begins at 6 p.m., though guests attending the bash can typically enter the park as early as 3 p.m. during the mix-in period.
While Disney hasn’t released the full lineup of entertainment for 2026 just yet, past Oogie Boogie Bash events have featured fan-favorite experiences like the Frightfully Fun Parade, Villains Grove walkthrough, immersive treat trails, rare character appearances, themed snacks and drinks, and exclusive event merchandise.
The event will take place on 33 select nights running through Halloween night.
