Oogie Boogie Bash happens in Disney California Adventure on select nights throughout the Halloween season, which officially kicks off on August 21st, 2026. This is a separately ticketed event that allows you to enter the park with limited capacity, but the highlight has to be the exclusive villains on the treat trails each year! Yes, you can see iconic Disney villains like Ernesto de la Cruz, Mother Gothel, Maleficent, and Oogie Boogie, of course.
We’ve seen tickets sell out year after year, so it’s important to plan ahead for this event!
Disney has not revealed when tickets will go on sale or what prices look like. In 2025, tickets went on sale to the general public on June 26th, so expect the date to be in early summer. Tickets varied from $139 to $199 per person, depending on the date in 2025. We usually see a slight increase, so we’ll keep you updated as more information is released.
