Each year, the Disneyland Resort hosts Oogie Boogie Bash, a Halloween after-hours ticketed event. The Oogie Boogie Bash 2026 Halloween party dates have been expanded in the past few years because of high demand, making it one of the more popular events Disneyland offers. Tickets do sell out for this event and tend to go extremely quickly for the most desirable dates. Because of this, knowing when tickets drop ahead of time can help you snag a spot.
Keep reading to learn more about this party and when to expect ticket sales to begin based on last year’s release. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including the treat Disneyland is keeping around after festival popularity and the May 2026 popcorn buckets available at Disney World.

This Halloween party has many unique highlights to enjoy. Guests can gather candy through the treat trails, ride attractions, and enjoy party-exclusive entertainment like the Frightfully Fun Parade, a spooky take on the classic Disney parades. There are also many rare characters milling about, including iconic Disney villains.
In true Halloween spirit, guests are allowed to dress up in costumes for this event. Normally, wearing costumes in parks is prohibited for guests under 14, but an exception is made for Oogie Boogie Bash. However, I would recommend looking at the official Disneyland website closer to the event to see exactly what their costume policy is to be on the safe side.

2026 Oogie Boogie Bash Dates and Ticket Predictions
While the official dates for the 2026 Oogie Boogie Bash ticket sale have not been released quite yet, we can use the information from last year’s event to pinpoint when tickets will most likely go on sale.
In 2025, general public ticket sales began on June 26 at 9:00 am (PT). There were two levels of pre-sale available for Magic Key holders, with Inspire Magic Key holders getting access to tickets beginning June 24, and all Magic Key holders pre-sale starting on June 25. There was a limited number of tickets in stock for both pre-sales.
Based on this information, we predict that tickets will be available at the end of June, with Magic Key holders getting access to tickets a day or two before the general public.
All 33 of the 2026 Oogie Boogie Bash dates were announced at the end of last year, spanning from August 18 to October 31. Here are the dates.

Typically, dates in October, especially the ones closest to Halloween, will sell out the quickest, along with Sunday parties. While we don’t expect all tickets to sell out right away, we do expect those more desirable dates to be gone quickly if not immediately. If you want a ticket for any of those dates, you don’t want to wait until later in the ticket sale process to secure your tickets.
On the day of the ticket sale, you should be online and ready to purchase tickets a bit before the waiting room opens. When ticket sales start, everyone in the waiting room will be given a randomized spot in line to purchase tickets.
