DISNEYLAND REVEALS OOGIE BOOGIE BASH, HALLOWEEN AND DIA DE LOS MUERTOS PLANS

Disneyland’s Oogie Boogie Bash returns for more nights than ever this fall.

The fan-favorite after-hours Halloween event will run on 25 select nights at Disney California Adventure, but guests don’t need a special ticket to get into the spirit at Disneyland Resort.

Halloween Time is big across both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, and a number of beloved seasonal offerings are included with regular park admission every day throughout September and October. Both parks also honor Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, but especially Disney California Adventure.
