The party runs on select nights from September 17 through October 31, and four dates are already sold out, including Halloween night. Tickets start at $110 per person and annual passholder discounts do apply to the party.

Oogie Boogie Bash is going to be filled with characters! From being able to meet your favorite Disney pals, to seeing some super rare characters that have never appeared in a park in the United States before, your family is in for a treat. Character locations are available on the Disneyland app and on park map guides.

Carthay Circle Is Getting a Spooky Revamp

We love the decorations Carthay Circle gets each Halloween season, but during the party, watch out for Maleficent's vines destroying the building with projection mapping. Candy corn might also be pouring out of the windows of the building at various points during the night.

There Are Multiple Ride Layovers to Enjoy

Three of Disney California Adventure's rides get spooky fun layovers during the Halloween season. Over in Cars Land, Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters gets transformed into Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, and Mater's Junkyard Jamboree gets turned into Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree. Then Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: Breakout gets turned into Guardians of the Galaxy - Monsters After Dark.

These attractions are available with the layover during throughout the Halloween season at Disneyland Resort. If you're only planning on going to Disneyland once during Halloween, and planning to spend one night at Oogie Boogie Bash, we would suggest doing these attractions during the party for a lesser wait time — party nights have a limited crowd.

Villains Grove Is Taking Over the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail

Over at Grizzly Peak, the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is getting turned into Villains Grove. This new space is going to allow kids and families to explore a maze filled with villains-themed zones. This is going to be the perfect place for kids to run off some of their energy after eating their trick-or-treat candy.

The Halloween-Themed World of Color Show Is Not to Be Missed

An all-new Halloween version of World of Color is coming to Oogie Boogie Bash, called Villainous. The show debuts a new character Shelley Marie as she explores some new sides to the Disney villains. Since this is a party-exclusive show, we would highly suggest your family get to the viewing areas around Paradise Bay at least 45 minutes to an hour early for a great spot.

The Frightfully Fun Parade Will Make It's Way Through the Park

The classic Disneyland Halloween parade, the Frightfully Fun Parade, will be moving over to Disney California Adventure for the party. Kids of all ages will love watching their fave characters. However, there's nothing new happening in the parade this year, so if you've been to the Disneyland Park Halloween party in the past, we recommend skipping this to do one of the new offerings for the party, so you're not wasting any time before your kids need to head to bed.

Kids Will Love the DescenDance Party

With the popularity of the recently releasedDescendants 3, Disney has created a fun new dance party near the Backlot area of Hollywood Land. Kids can dance and sing along with some of their favorite characters from the movies.

Halloween Merchandise Is Super Cute

Just like the food and drink options for the Halloween season, there's no party-exclusive merchandise. That means you and your family can grab the new Oogie Boogie ears before the party even starts, so you're not waiting in line for something that's not candy!
