Now again to my information to the way to spend your time at Oogie Boogie!
Immersive Deal with Trails
Considered one of my favourite elements of the Oogie Boogie Bash is the immersive deal with trails. There are 9 of them this 12 months they usually’re referred to as immersive as a result of most of them are character themed and embody a villain of some type on the path.
There are three that don’t have villains and simply have treats in Carsland, on Buena Vista Road, and in Paradise Gardens Park – these traces go sooner for those who’re simply searching for the treats!
I like to recommend hitting all of them and loading up on sweet and spooky enjoyable! I’ve images of the setups beneath – a few of these are from earlier years (if the identical villain) in addition to images of the most recent villains to affix the bash!
In my view, these are SO significantly better than the best way that Disney World does deal with trails which are actually simply treats. It makes you need to go to the entire deal with trails across the park! They’ll offer you a map at the start of the occasion that reveals the place every of the deal with trails are however does NOT say what’s there.
I’ve included these particulars from the 2024 social gathering beneath! There are rumors that we may even see Hades and one other villain added this 12 months!
- Hollywood Space – Cruella
- Avenger’s Campus – Agatha
- San Fransokyo Sq. – Yokai (from Large Hero 6)
- Animation Academy – Oogie Boogie
- Carthay Circle – Madam Mim (certainly one of my favourite Disney villains)
- Close to Grizzly Peak – Mom Gothel
- Close to Soarin‘ – Decide Doom (From Who Framed Roger Rabbit)
- Hyperion Theatre Courtyard – Ernesto de la Cruz
- Pixar Pier – Sid from Toy Story
And in case I didn’t make it clear, these deal with trails embody each villain sightings and free trick or treating. I’d say every deal with path included 6-8 completely different solid members handing out the whole lot from sweet (numerous sweet) to another alternate options like rice krispy treats, contemporary apples (sort of unusual in my view), chips, and extra.
And you’ll undergo the deal with trails time and again if you’d like. Possibly not one of the best use of your time, however for those who actually need all that sweet, it’s undoubtedly an choice.
Have Allergy symptoms?
Disney is nice with allergy symptoms and the social gathering isn’t any completely different. They open allergy-friendly and no-sugar deal with choices. Merely ask a solid member they usually’ll provide the data you want! I noticed fairly a number of allergy pleasant and no-sugar treats like contemporary apple slices, rice krispy treats, pretzels, Pirate’s Booty and extra!
Particular Character Meet and Greets
I’ve by no means actually been a personality meet and greet particular person. I’m extra of a Disney character eating (the place you pay and get meals plus character greetings) sort of particular person.
Oogie Boogie Bash is completely different as a result of they convey out uncommon characters you seemingly gained’t see at another time. Plus, they convey out some well-liked characters like Mickey Mouse and Pals in tremendous cute Halloween costumes!
Insider Tip!
PhotoPass is included together with your Oogie Boogie Bash ticket (simply throughout social gathering hours), so you may get skilled images relatively than simply your cellphone ones! Simply present the photographer the PhotoPass barcode in your Disneyland App after your take your images they usually’re be robotically added to the app!
There have been some character meet and greets with shorter traces (those in Carthay Circle) and a few that had traces so lengthy that I couldn’t stand in them if I needed to do anything within the social gathering.
The 2 hottest meet and greet traces I noticed final 12 months had been for certain the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus (horrible image beneath) and Bruno from Encanto. The Sanderson Sisters wait instances line was an hour minimal and at instances it was over two hours! In the event you’re okay standing in lengthy traces and lacking a lot of the social gathering, it’s a brilliant cute opp!
One of many coolest elements of Oogie Boogie Bash for those who like characters is the uncommon ones they convey out only for this expertise. Final 12 months there have been tons of various characters like:
- Minnie, Daisy, and Clarabelle because the Sanderson Sisters (this one is SUPER well-liked)
- Bruno from Encanto
- Marvel characters (we noticed Captain America, Loki, Spiderman, and Black Panther
- Automobiles Characters like Lightning, Mater, and Sally
- Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy
- Lotso the Bear
- Captain Hook
- The Incredibles
- Russell from Up
I’m certain there have been extra, these are simply those I personally noticed whereas strolling round!
I’m certain there have been ones that I missed however evidently, for those who like characters, you’ll love Oogie Boogie Bash!
Villains Grove
Villain’s Grove is what I prefer to name a lightweight and sound villain showcase alongside the redwood problem path. It’s principally a bunch of cool villain impressed shows utilizing lights, particular results, music, decorations, and smoke. It’s cool but when there’s an enormous line (like there was a lot of the evening), you may spend your time elsewhere.
My pal Patty even included it in her issues to not do at Oogie Boogie Bash checklist, which I don’t essentially agree with however wouldn’t stand in line without end for!
It’s the place the Redwood Creek Problem Path usually is and also you’ll seemingly see a superb sized line main as much as it.
There are three issues to learn about villains grove. First, there aren’t any precise characters in it. Don’t be fooled – the precise characters are on the deal with trails. Second, I personally assume it could possibly be slightly scary for youthful youngsters. It may well undoubtedly really feel slightly creepy at nighttime, particularly in case your group is kind of alone strolling like I used to be.
However for those who like villains and wish one thing distinctive to do, it is a good selection.
And eventually, Villains Grove had the longest line of something all the evening outdoors of the Sanderson Sisters and Bruno character meet and greets. It doesn’t open till nightfall (and it’s finest when darkish), so I like to recommend going in the course of the parade that you simply’re not planning to observe as a result of lots of people might be on the parade and never attempting to get into the grove.
We ended up going this 12 months proper after the second parade ended, so round 10:30PM, and it was solely a 10-15 minute wait. The remainder of the evening it was round 45 minutes to an hour, so preserve that in thoughts! This was one of the best time in my view as a result of it was darkish (so you might see all of the projections) plus the road was minimal.
Frightfully Enjoyable Parade at Oogie Boogie Bash
Disney is aware of the way to do parades and the Frightfully Enjoyable Parade isn’t any completely different – really it’s even higher.
It’s much like the Boo to You parade that used to occur in the course of the Disney World Halloween Celebration with villains, Haunted Mansion risks, Graveyard diggers (digging up sparks with their shovels), and different Halloween characters like Jack Skellington & Sally. And it’s 100% value spending the time to observe, despite the fact that I do know your time is brief.
The one factor I personally have an issue with for the parade is that it begins with the Headless Horseman driving an precise horse down the parade route. For us, this occurred about 5 minutes after the parade was scheduled to start out.
That’s all effectively and good however the precise parade doesn’t sometimes begin for an additional 10-Quarter-hour AFTER the headless horseman is gone. Meaning you’re simply sitting there ready and once you’re with youngsters, these 10-Quarter-hour are actually arduous to fill, particularly for those who’ve been already sitting and ready for the parade.
Regardless, I nonetheless suggest ready as a result of the parade is superior and one of many solely instances you’re going to see various the villains!
Insider Tip!
There are two parade instances, sometimes 7:45PM and 10:00PM – the second exhibiting is much less crowded and simpler to get a superb seat with out ready for hours beforehand. Parade begins up close to Paradise Backyard space and finishes close to the Hyperion Theater (going towards Guardians). As soon as the parade begins, it’s arduous to cross to the opposite aspect of the park till the parade is over.
Reserved Parade Viewing Choices
In the event you don’t need to anticipate a parade, there are additionally two paid choices that offer you reserved parade viewing – a Eating Parade Package deal Wine Nation Trattoria and the Oogie Boogie Bash dessert social gathering at Sonoma Terrace.
We did each of those eating experiences in 2021 and out of the 2, I personally wouldn’t suggest doing both of them from a price perspective (time and money) except you completely must have nice viewing for the parade and/or should be really seated in chairs, not at a desk.
We did the dessert social gathering final 12 months as effectively and I nonetheless wouldn’t suggest it, though it was higher this 12 months than years up to now.
But when you’ll do them, listed here are a number of of my ideas from our experiences. Issues might have modified this 12 months however my guess is issues might be related. These do have a restricted capability, so I like to recommend reserving prematurely as effectively.
Eating Parade Package deal at Wine Nation Trattoria
This package deal prices $62 for adults ($37 for youths) to start out (there are a bunch of improve choices) and features a starter, an entree, a dessert, and kid-friendly beverage. I’ve included a photograph of the menu from 2021 for reference. The choices this 12 months embody:
- Grownup Meal: Home Salad or Soup Del Giorno; Roasted Vegetable Lasagna, Spaghetti Bolognese, Hen Parmesan, Salmon, Spaghetti Aglio Olio, Fettucine Shrimp Alfredo, Trattoria Salad with Shrimp or Rib Eye Steak; Mistress of Evil Chocolate Cake; a alternative of Fountain Beverage, Assorted Juices, Espresso and Tea
- Little one Meal: Hen Breast, Complete-Grain Pasta with Marinara and Meatballs, Salmon, or Cheese Pizza; Recent Fruit, Broccoli or Roasted Potatoes; Headstone Lava Cake; Dasani® Water or Milk
Once we did the meal in 2021, the meals was good, like really good. My rooster parmesan was crisp on the surface and moist on the within and the caprese salad was contemporary and flavorful.
Tip!
In case you have allergy symptoms or dietary restrictions, allow them to know once you examine in. The chef was capable of come out and make me one thing that I may eat since so lots of the dishes had onions in them!
After your meal, you get a ticket to return for one of many parade viewings later. You possibly can both select the sooner 7:45PM parade or 10PM parade however want to inform the host at check-in and it’s first come first serve for the parade viewings. In case you have a particular desire, be sure to point out up as quickly as doable for check-in!
There are two causes I personally wouldn’t do that once more.
- The one eating choices are throughout your park hours. In the event you’re simply stepping into the park at 3PM for the social gathering, the eating took about an hour of our time between check-in and consuming. That’s a waste of fine stable park time. In the event you’re there for a few days and don’t care about that, it’s not a giant deal. The second, nevertheless, is!
- We needed to check-in for our reserved parade viewing about 45 minutes earlier than the parade really began, or kind of began. The parade viewing house was proper subsequent to Grizzly Falls (close to Avengers Campus) and was a great spot however to be within the entrance, we needed to be there early. That meant losing 45 minutes of the 5 hours of social gathering time sitting there ready for a parade. Not a superb use of your time, particularly since there was loads of parade viewing house across the park!
Oogie Boogie Bash Dessert Celebration
The second choice for getting a reserved parade viewing is the Oogie Boogie Dessert Celebration. We did this once more for 2023 to see if it was a greater worth and choice in 2023 than in 2021.
Let’s simply begin by speaking about the fee – $89 for every particular person no matter age.
That $89 will get you:
- Desk seating alongside the parade route – nice views for certain!
- 2 alcoholic drinks + limitless non-alcoholic drinks
- A tray of desserts (see image and descriptions beneath).
Listed below are my issues with the dessert social gathering. At each dessert social gathering I’ve been to at Disney World, it’s been well worth the cash as a result of it’s a dessert buffet. There are tons of desserts to select from and you may get as many as you need.
That is the dessert plate we got for our $89 dessert social gathering – six desserts plus some gummy worms. And whereas the desserts this 12 months had been significantly better than those up to now, it was nonetheless $89 for a plate of small desserts.
This 12 months’s menu doesn’t look significantly better with six small treats and gummy candies.
- Pumpkin bundt cake – my sister and I each loved this, significantly better than the crimson velvet bundt cake from two years in the past.
- Orange dreamsicle rice crispy – Disney is aware of the way to make rice crispy treats, this was not that. This was some kind of rolled rice crispy deal with that was dry and arduous to eat. Neither of us completed ours.
- Oogie Boogie Chocolate Mousse Cake – this was really fairly good, significantly better than desserts up to now years. The mousse had good taste, and it was cute to take a look at!
- Jack Cookies and Cream Tart – I don’t love cookies and cream filling like this one, however my sister actually loved it. It was most likely her favourite on the plate! It jogged my memory of the Jack cupcake from Grand Californian resort that wasn’t certainly one of my favourite Disneyland Halloween treats.
- Sally Caramel Cheesecake – this was each of our least favourite desserts, outdoors of the rice krispy deal with. It was simply okay however not nice.
- Salted Caramel Macaron – I assumed this was a extremely good macaron (not rose macaron good, however nonetheless good). The macaron itself was effectively baked and the salted caramel filling was easy and engaging.
- Gummy Centipedes – so after I mentioned there have been gummy worms, I meant it. One of many desserts was gummy worms, like those I put as garnish in my Halloween punch.
The very best factor out of all the dessert social gathering for me a number of years in the past was the autumn punch. I made a fall punch copycat recipe if you wish to strive it at dwelling, however it was principally a youngsters punch with whipped cream on high however had surprisingly a number of taste for a kid-friendly drink! I saved these coming and ended up consuming about 5 of them, attempting to get my cash’s value!
This 12 months was a special mocktail that wasn’t practically nearly as good sadly. The 4 of us sitting at our desk tried them, and it simply wasn’t ok to order one other one.
Okay so for those who haven’t figured it out fairly but, I assumed this one was not nice worth for the cash. The seated parade viewing was nice (so long as you weren’t within the again row) however the folks sitting on the bottom throughout from us had the identical viewing totally free.
And for those who don’t have sufficient folks to fill all the desk (we had a celebration of two), they seat you with different folks – you don’t get personal tables. I didn’t understand that after we purchased our tickets, and it was slightly bizarre to be sharing a desk with full strangers.
Plus, we needed to be there at 9:15 to get good seats and our meals (they stopped serving at 10PM), which meant we had been on the Halloween dessert social gathering from 9:15 till the parade was over at 10:40. That’s 1 1/2 hours of our 5 hours – not one of the best use of time or cash!
That being mentioned – I’d skip them each except you completely want reserved seated parade viewing and even then, not my favourite use of time or cash. If you need one other opinion, my pal Kim wrote up full evaluations of each events!
Tip!
This social gathering is finest for individuals who actually need a seat and reserved viewing for the parade. The reserved desk seating was simply one of the best a part of this dessert social gathering. Don’t do it for the dessert.
Mickey’s Trick and Deal with Present
One of many different issues that was simply throughout Oogie Boogie Bash was Mickey’s Trick and Deal with present. They’ve discovered that individuals don’t actually need to sit by a present like this in the course of the social gathering time and moved this one to in the course of the day.
There are a bunch of showtimes now on daily basis at 10:45, 11:45, 12:45, 2:30, 3:30, and 4:30PM. I really feel prefer it’s a significantly better choice as a result of there are different belongings you need to be doing in the course of the social gathering!
It’s much like the Disney Junior Dance Celebration with Mickey and Minnie having a enjoyable dance social gathering with the kiddos to rejoice Halloween. It’s a few fifteen minute present that features the dance social gathering, story time, and sweet given out on the finish!
After this 12 months I’ll seemingly take away it from this submit because it’s not being provided throughout Oogie Boogie, however I do know it has been just lately so needed to ensure folks understand it hasn’t been taken out altogether, simply taken out of the social gathering!
Meals and Drinks at Oogie Boogie Bash
If Oogie Boogie Bash is the one time that you simply’re planning on visiting Disneyland Resort throughout their Halloween Time celebration, then you may have a number of Disneyland Halloween meals choices to strive which are out there on a regular basis – and that’s a submit all by itself!
In case you have extra time at Disneyland Resort to strive the Halloween treats, there are a few issues sometimes out there simply in the course of the social gathering. Prior to now, I haven’t discovered them actually value attempting however you may if you’d like.
This 12 months the one issues introduced up to now are garlic-parmesan rooster strips and orange rooster strips at Flo’s V8 Cafe. I’ll replace this submit as extra issues are introduced!
Final 12 months’s social gathering included these three exclusives:
- Halloween Scoop from Clarabelle’s Ice Cream – you may select your ice cream for the sundae. Then it will get topped with a brilliant cute witch hat ice cream cone plus purple whipped cream. We actually loved this, however it wasn’t something actually distinctive, simply cute and yummy ice cream.
- Flamable Elements Pizza from Pym’s Check Kitchen – let me begin by saying this pizza is huge and undoubtedly could possibly be shared by 2-3 folks. It was good however not wonderful, however significantly better than the loaded fries or rooster tenders they provided throughout Oogie Boogie in previous years.
- Panic Churro at Churro Cart by Goofy’s Sky Faculty – this blue pop rock coated churro was a superb choice if you’d like one thing slightly extra distinctive than a primary churro however don’t need one thing as loopy because the Oogie Boogie churro. It tasted much like a daily churro with the enjoyable after impact of the popping candies popping!
There are many different meals and beverage choices out there in the course of the social gathering – simply nothing else which you could solely get in the course of the social gathering.
Halloween Solely Photograph Opps
I discussed it above however your social gathering ticket comes with PhotoPass. Benefit from it by testing the entire photograph ops all through the parks. There was a cute Oogie Boogie Bash one proper as quickly as you walked within the gate and varied different ones (like Headless Horseman) all through the park!
Take benefit as a result of these photograph opps are solely out there then! There’ll seemingly even be different Halloween photograph opps out there which are in the course of the day however for those who’re solely doing the social gathering, it’s best to examine these out too!
Oh and don’t neglect to decorate up – dressing up for the social gathering is half the enjoyable! Disney does have fairly particular costume guidelines however so long as you understand them forward of time, try to be good! You possibly can learn their full costume guidelines right here. I at all times say simply use good judgement (whereas clearly following the principles).
It’s spooky season however Disney is extra on the not so spooky aspect of spooky!
In the event you want concepts for the littlest social gathering goers, these are a few of the cutest Disney child costumes I may discover!
Oh and ensure to examine the climate earlier than the social gathering – it was over 90 levels throughout our social gathering, so we opted to go along with Halloween shirts as a substitute of full on costumes.
Oogie Boogie Bash Rides
Plenty of the rides are open in the course of the social gathering, and it’s a good time to trip them for 2 causes – sometimes shorter traces than you’ll see in the course of the day (though some had been fairly akin to the daytime waits) and there are Halloween variations of the rides!
And even when they don’t have Halloween variations of the rides, shorter wait instances are at all times a superb deal! The very best time to trip the rides is in the course of the parades since so many individuals might be watching the parades however truthfully the traces had been fairly brief our total evening!
We had been capable of get on Guardians Monsters After Darkish two instances in a row with little or no wait (it really mentioned 13, which implies no wait in Guardians communicate) in the course of the first parade.
There are three particular rides which have Halloween variations:
- Luigi’s
- Mater’s Graveyard Jambooree
- Guardians of the Galaxy Monsters After Darkish – adjustments over to Monsters at 3PM
Luigi’s and Mater’s largely simply change up the music on the trip however Guardians of the Galaxy turns into a totally completely different storyline referred to as Monsters After Darkish. And it’s superior.
One notice – Monsters After Darkish is certainly slightly scarier of a story-line so in case you have kiddos who don’t do effectively at nighttime or not so scary monsters will scare them, possibly skip this one. The trip is all at nighttime relatively than lit like regular.
So for those who’re going to take the time to trip one trip, trip that one. It’s a must-do, particularly for those who’re a Guardians of the Galaxy fan.
Observe!
In the event you’re hoping to do Haunted Mansion Vacation, you’re out of luck. Haunted Mansion is in Disneyland Park and a ticket to Oogie Boogie Bash solely will get you entry to Disney’s California Journey. In the event you bought a park hopper ticket or single park ticket and began in Disneyland earlier the day of the occasion, that’s a special factor however this particular occasion ticket solely will get you into one Disney park, DCA.
Oogie Boogie Bash Suggestions & Tips
After attending the very first Oogie Boogie Bash of the 12 months, I’ve tons of suggestions for anybody attending the social gathering this 12 months. If there’s one thing you need extra details about, be happy to depart me a remark and I’ll do my finest to provide you extra information!
- Time your entry. If you’re Magic Key holders or have a park ticket for the day, get into the park by 2:30PM. The road to get in at 3PM was insane, they usually saved stopping folks from stepping into the park as a result of the occasion check-in location line (proper contained in the entrance gates) was too lengthy. If you may get in earlier than 3PM, do it.
- Skip the principle gate check-in. When you get within the gates, there are a number of occasion occasion check-in traces you may select from – one on the entrance most important entrance (that was loopy lengthy), one at Blue Sky Cellar (close to Sonoma Terrace) that was shorter, and one close to the doorway from Grand California that was loopy brief. Skip the entrance gate line and go elsewhere to get your wristband and trick or deal with bag.
- Do the villains grove throughout a parade. The Disney villains grove will seemingly be the longest line you’ll see all evening lengthy. Do it throughout whichever parade you aren’t going to observe since a superb portion of company might be watching the parade. We solely waited for 10-Quarter-hour after we did it in the course of the first parade in comparison with individuals who waited 30-60 minutes later.
- Watch the late parade if doable. I do know it’s not nice for households with youthful youngsters however for those who can watch the late parade, we discovered it to be much less busy making seating a lot simpler to search out final minute. Additionally, it’s fairly straightforward to discover a good seat for the parade so don’t waste a ton of time sitting round holding seats.
- Plan out your priorities. You don’t have time to do all of it. I did lots and I used to be working round (and solely did two rides). Choose your priorities forward of time so that you could take pleasure in these issues and anything might be a bonus. In any other case, the social gathering will turn out to be hectic relatively than enjoyable! I additionally suggest planning out which showtimes, parades, and so on. you’ll achieve this you may go across the park with a plan!
- Carry an additional bag. The small trick or deal with bag that they offer you once you check-in gained’t maintain your whole treats from the interactive deal with trails for those who do all of them. I needed to empty mine a minimum of as soon as, and I didn’t even get to the entire trails.
- Get a locker. In the event you’re dressing up in costume and don’t need to carry the whole lot round with you, seize a locker proper previous the doorway close to Mortimer’s Market. They value $7 for a small locker (one backpack) or $10 for a big locker. I beloved with the ability to stash issues in there in the course of the social gathering, particularly as a result of it was nonetheless so sizzling round 3PM.
- Costume in layers. Talking of the warmth, California may be actually sizzling in the course of the day however it tends to chill down when the solar goes down. Costume in layers and retailer these layers within the lockers for when issues settle down. Or you may as well use it as an excuse to seize a brand new Oogie Boogie themed spirit jersey or sweatshirt!
- Cell order. I discussed this earlier than however it’s essential sufficient that I’m mentioning it once more. Use the Disneyland app to cell order as a lot of the meals as you may. I noticed so many individuals losing time standing in traces for meals once they may have been having fun with the festivities as a substitute! The one factor I’d possibly not suggest cell ordering is the pizza from Pym’s if the walk-up line is brief.
- Don’t plan a full day earlier than the social gathering. We bought up and did Disneyland and DCA at 7:30AM and had been going till 11PM. It was an enormous mistake, and I don’t suggest the 35K steps we took on anybody.
- Keep at Grand Californian Lodge if doable. I do know it’s expensive, however I can’t let you know how good it was to remain within the GCH for simply the evening of the social gathering. We really went again as much as our room to drop issues off, to vary garments (after we bought soaked on Grizzly River Run), and we had been again to our room by 11:10PM and in mattress minutes after. It’s nearly as good as time as any to splurge.
- Ensure that to examine in for the occasion. If you check-in for the occasion, they are going to scan your social gathering ticket and offer you a wristband and a trick or deal with bag. You could placed on the wristband as a result of solid members might be checking that all through the social gathering after 6PM. Anybody who doesn’t have a wristband is not going to be allowed to do any of the rides, sights, and so on. and might be requested to depart the park.
- Plan further time for the parade. In the event you’re doing the night parade, attempt to get as a lot completed earlier than as doable. I had anticipated the parade solely lasting 10-Quarter-hour however in actuality it “began” round 10 with the headless horseman and we weren’t capable of rise up and begin going to different issues till round 10:40PM.
- Get monetary savings on park tickets. Make it a visit by including park tickets and a day or two to the social gathering! Get monetary savings by buying low cost tickets by our favourite ticket accomplice Get Away Immediately. They at all times have offers going!
