Halloween Time at Disneyland is something we all look forward to.
There’s many ways to celebrate at the Disneyland Park but if you’re a fan of the Disney Villains,
then Disney California Adventure is the place to celebrate Halloween.
2019 marked the debut of the Oogie Boogie Bash, a brand new Halloween party happening
right now on select nights at Disney California Adventure.
On a daily basis, the park has a lot of ways to experience Halloween but the Oogie Boogie
Bash has many exclusive Villainous opportunities just waiting for you; it’s a night filled
with a lot of Halloween fun.
So today we’re gonna give you the rundown of this new Halloween Party.
We’ll share some tips as we count down the Top 10 Must Do’s at the Oogie Boogie Bash.
Number 10 With the Oggie Boogie Bash, it's best you
arrive early to make the most out of your ticket.
The party starts at 6pm but depending on the day, you’re able to get into the park 3
or 4 hours before.
If you’re heading to the party on a Tuesday or Thursday you can enter at 3pm and on Sundays
at 2pm, but just note that early entry is only allowed into the Disney California Adventure
and not Disneyland.
Once you enter the park you’ll head to the sign in area on the right to receive your
party wristband.
Arriving early does let you experience the rides and attractions before the party officially
starts and you’re also able to utilize the Fastpass system.
The park really comes alive for the Halloween celebrations at night so I definitely suggest
stopping by Buena Vista Street after sundown to set that Halloween mood.
Number 9 It isn’t a Halloween party without trick
or treating, right?
Well, there’s plenty of opportunities to get all the candy you want at the Oogie Boogie
Bash.
When you sign in, a cast member will give you a trick or treating bag then promptly
at 6pm all 10 treat locations will open once you hear-
{Oogie Boogie Voice Over} There’s no place to hide and no place to run, the Oogie Boogie
Bash has officially begun hahaha
All the treat trails are listed on the park map and you can expect a variety of treats
from chocolate to healthier choices like apple sauce, carrots, and even some crackers and
chips.
Now 5 out of the 10 trails have an extra villainous spin to them that features an interactive
Disney Villain and the first area you can find 3 of them are in Hollywoodland.
It wouldn’t be the Oogie Boogie bash without Oogie Boogie himself so over in the Animation
building you can find the Oogie Boogie Treat trail.
Disney really transformed the animation building into something unrecognizable and they actually
use the articulated version of Oogie Boogie here so that’s pretty cool.
{Oogie Boogie} Look at this guy, he’s ancient, he’s ugly and I gotta tell ya, I don’t
know which is worse.
The next villainous treat trail is at Stage 17 and features the shadow man himself, Dr.
Faciller.
{Dr. Facilier} Oh look at this, Paparazzi.
Hi.
Good to see you, little man.
Didn’t think you’d be making a deal with me today, now did ya?
You don’t wanna look me in the eye?
He knows that’s where my power comes from.
Dr. Facilier couldn’t have been any more perfect don’t you agree?
{Dr. Facilier} Three souls for the price of one.
After you leave Stage 17 you can head up to the Hyperion Theatre Courtyard where the Mad
Hatter from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland films has a little story to tell.
{Mad Hatter} You have a lovely cranium.
Do me a favor- jaws that bite and claws that catch.
Beware the Jabawalk my son
These environments are pretty immersive compared to the previous candy trails at Disneyland
and every experience through these trails is completely unique.
Number 8 Grizzly Peak is the second area where some
villainous friends are the stars of two other immersive treat trails.
Over next to Soarin at the Grizzly Peak Airfield, you can find Maleficent who was perfectly
menacing.
{Maleficent} Hahaha send thee well my wench.
Hello my pet.
Come to feast your eyes on greatness?
Once Maleficent bids you farewell, the fairest one of all the Evil Queen from Snow White
awaits you on Grizzly Peak Mountain Road.
{Evil Queen} Why is no one telling me I’m the fairest in all the land?
{Off Camera} You’re the fairest in all the land
{Evil Queen} I know!
But don’t just stand there my dears.
If you just stand here all evening staring at how gorgeous I am my other villainous friends
are going to get quite envious.
The only downfall with these immersive trails is that you don’t really get to spend too
much time with the characters since they need to keep the lines moving.
We did find that these immersive trails weren’t nearly as crowded later on in the evening.
This gave you more time to slowly walk through and interact with these amazing Disney villains.
All 5 characters can be found all night long until the party ends at 11pm.
Number 7 Now the Oogie Boogie Bash is suitable for
all ages but if you’re traveling to the party with little ones, there's two experiences
specifically you’ll want to check out.
Over at the Disney Theatre, you can find Mickey’s Trick and Treat.
This brand new stage show is hosted by Parker the mad scientist who’s joined by Mickey,
Minnie, Donald and Goofy bringing you some not-so-scary fun!
The 12-minute show features a lot of singing and dancing, plus there's a fun Halloween
story and of course Candy!
Now Mickey’s Trick and Treat is full of tons of energy and each night theres 5 opportunities
to catch the show.
And speaking of shows, across the way at the Hollywood Backlot stage, you can find Disney
Descendance Party.
With 5 performances each night, you can expect a 20-minute show filled with some pretty sweet
dance moves as you groove to the beat with songs from the Descendants.
{Music} Everybody wanna be like us.
Everybody wanna be like us.
And between performances a DJ is also on-site, so you can expect an evening full of dancing
here at the Hollywood Backlot Stage.
Number 6 For the 3rd year, Cars Land has been transformed
from top to bottom for Halloween.
This spooky overlay isn’t just limited to the Halloween Party and it can be found all
season long.
It’s really clever and highly detailed, so stopping into Radiator Springs at the Oggie
Boogie Bash is a must!
Two Carsland attractions have received a Halloween transformation with Luigi’s Rollickin’
Roadsters becoming Luigi’s Honkin Haul-o-ween and Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree has become
Mater’s Graveyard JambOOree.
Prepare to be whipped from side to side to tune of something a little like this:
{Music} Listen to Mater, rest in peace, at the graveyard jambOOree.
At Luigi's get ready to take a spin on the dance floor to traditional Italian tunes with
a spooky Halloween twist.
{Music} Everybody love to have a honkin’ Halloween.
Number 5- Guardians Another attraction overlay can be found at
Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout which is transformed into Guardians of the Galaxy:
Monsters After dark.
On party nights the attraction closes at 3 and reopens at 4 with the overlay and on non-party
nights it closes around 4 then reopens at 5.
{Rocket Raccoon} Oh!
What are you guys still doing here?
Tours over!
The cages are open and the creatures are loose, you gotta get outta here.
It turns out they accidentally left Groot behind.
{Rocket Raccoon} And I need to find him before he gets ate.
Then once you enter the gantry lift you’re on a mission to distract the monsters and
save Baby Groot.
{Rocket Raccoon} Distract them already!
Not you!
It’s a clever way to do an overlay since you’re able to experience the original ride
during the day then Monsters after Dark at night.
The lines for this ride can get kinda long so when you arrive early, try and get a Fastpass
for a widow after 4pm or visit the attraction later in the evening.
Number 4 Character meet and greets are always popular
experiences when it comes to these special event parties.
With the Oogie Boogie Bash, there are many opportunities to meet some familiar characters
but also some rare characters.
An extremely popular pair were Kingdom Hearts Goofy and Donald who meet right by Grizzly
Falls.
Now, these characters alternate sets and don’t meet together so you might get Goofy or Donald.
You never know.
The same goes for a lot of the other characters including the Disney Villains; there’s about
6 different characters that switch throughout the evening including Governor Radcliff and
Frollo.
The Halloween Party park map lists all of the character locations and there’s always
a cast member around that can answer any questions you have.
The lines to meet the character were a bit longer at the beginning of the night but generally,
on average, no line appeared longer than 20 to 30 minutes, which gives you more than enough
time to enjoy the other offerings at the party.
Number 3 The Frightfully Fun parade made its debut
back in 2016 at Disneyland but this is the first year it's been seen at Disney California
Adventure.
The parade is a great opportunity to catch more of your favorite Disney villains on some
spectacular floats.
There’s also the ghosts from Haunted Mansion and you can’t forget about the Nightmare
Before Christmas segment.
{Music} Come with us and you will see.
This our town of Halloween.
This is Halloween.
Pumpkin scream in the dead of night.
Now the parade is only performed once at 8:10pm.
Since the parade route at Disney California adventure is much longer and wider than Disneyland’s,
there’s more than enough space to find that perfect spot to watch the parade.
Now you do wanna make sure you’ve secured your spot about 10 minutes before so you don’t
miss the Headless Horseman pre-parade.
This is another iconic part of Halloween at Disneyland and you can expect Icabod Crane
and the Headless horseman to gallop down the parade route at 8pm.
Number 2 Visiting a Disney theme park is not complete
without seeing a nighttime spectacular and exclusive to the Oogie Boogie bash is Villainous;
an evil take on World of Color.
This brand new show is hosted by Oogie Boogie and follows Shelley Marie, who goes on this
journey to find out what being a Disney villain is really like.
The show is visually stunning with its mix of colorful water fountains, lasers, and projections.
The score uses all those classic villain songs we’ve grown to love and orchestrates them
in a new modern way.
Everything worked very well to tell the story and honestly I kind perfected this show over
the original world of color was because this actually had a fun plot.
There’s two performances of Villainous, one at 9:00 then at 10:45.
The first performance was extremely crowded but the second had less than half the people
so if you wanna avoid some of the crowds then catch the show at 10:45.
{Oogie Boogie} Sweet dreams! hahahah
Number 1 One of the best parts of the Oogie Boogie
bash is Villains Grove.
Redwood Creek is transformed into this otherworldly experience where sound, color, and special
effects bring you into this dreamlike realm of many Disney Villains.
The entire experience takes about 20 minutes to walk through and there are 8 different
atmospheres created on the trail; the entire experience is magical so lets a look into
the sights and sounds of each of these villainous atmospheres.
So have you visited Disneyland for Halloween?
Are you going to the Oogie Boogie Bash?
