Disney just unveiled exciting new specifics for the highly anticipated Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party returning to Disney California Adventure Park in 2025! Axis Travel Group, your expert in Disney destination vacations, brings you the latest spooky scoop and explains why combining this event with Disneyland’s spectacular 70th Anniversary celebration makes for an unforgettable getaway.
Spooky Season Kicks Off Early: Dates & Summerween
Mark your calendars! The bash officially descends upon Disney California Adventure on select nights from August 17 through October 31, 2025. Tickets are already available for these August dates, offering guests a unique “Summerween” opportunity to dive headfirst into Halloween thrills while summer is still in full swing. This separate-ticket, after-hours event promises five full hours of exclusive Halloween mayhem (6:00 PM to 11:00 PM), with park mix-in starting as early as 3:00 PM!
What’s New & Noteworthy for 2025?
Disney has confirmed the spine-tingling experiences returning, along with key details:
Frightfully Fun Parade: Don’t miss the ghoulish procession featuring the Headless Horseman, Jack Skellington, Haunted Mansion spectres, and more! Catch it twice nightly at 7:45 PM and 10:00 PM.
Oogie Boogie Bash Dessert Party: Secure coveted preferred parade seating plus indulge in decadent treats like blueberry ooze cake, mini cupcakes, and freeze-dried fruit with gummy worms, all accompanied by a collectible enamel pin. Advanced reservations are essential!
Villains Grove: Journey through the transformed Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, immersed in eerie scenescapes inspired by Disney’s most infamous villains like Dr. Facilier, Frollo, and Scar. Mystical lighting and soundscapes create an unforgettable, surreal atmosphere.
Treat Trails & Rare Characters: Collect sweet treats (including M&M’S®, SKITTLES®, SNICKERS®, and allergy-friendly options) across 12 trails, encountering mischievous villains along the way. Plus, meet Disney characters in special Halloween attire and spot rare friends making appearances.
Exclusive Bites & Sips: Savor Oogie Boogie Bash-only offerings:
Loaded Buffalo Chicken Fries & Carolina Loaded Tenders (Flo’s V8 Cafe)
Chili-Cheese Fries (Award Wieners)
Ube Hot Chocolate with Vanilla Vodka (Cozy Cone Motel)
NEW for 2025: The highly sought-after Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Mayor Sipper debuts at various locations (Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta, Corn Dog Castle, Paradise Garden Grill, Smokejumpers Grill, Fairfax Market, Mortimers Market, Chiller, and select carts) – while supplies last!
Tip: Use the Disneyland app for mobile ordering at quick-service spots or join walk-up lists for table-service (availability varies).
