Have Oogie Boogie Bash Tickets? Make It a Getaway
Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party is a separately ticketed, after-hours event at Disney California Adventure® Park on select nights through October 31. This year’s party features villain meet-and-greets, treat trails and a Haunted Mansion-themed street party. Dressing up is part of the fun.
Your Halloween adventure does not have to begin and end at the park gates. Check in at Hotel FERA, relax by the pool or enjoy dinner at The Peel Craftbar & Kitchen before heading out. After an evening of costumes and villains, come back to a comfortable room and recharge before another day in Orange County. It works whether you are planning a couples escape, a family trip or a weekend with friends.
Planning tip: Party nights typically change park hours at Disney California Adventure for regular guests, so check the Disneyland app for same-day times. No Bash tickets? Halloween Time décor, Haunted Mansion Holiday, Halloween Screams, Radiator Screams and Monsters After Dark do not require the party ticket.

Old Towne Orange & The Outlets at Orange
