Oogie Boogie Bash Kicks Off at Disney California Adventure With New Haunted Mansion Street Party

The separately ticketed after‑hours party is changing evening access at DCA and selling out fast, signaling tighter guest planning needs and strong demand for rare characters and exclusive merchandise.

Overview

  • Disney launched Oogie Boogie Bash on Tuesday, August 18, debuting Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake, a Haunted Mansion–themed street party that replaces the usual Frightfully Fun Parade because of construction at Pixar Pier.
  • On party nights Disney California Adventure becomes exclusive to Oogie Boogie Bash ticketholders when the event begins at 6:00 p.m., and regular park tickets will not admit or allow guests to remain after that time.
  • The event leans on rare character appearances to drive interest, with Yzma added to 2026’s treat trails alongside returning villains like Hades, Judge Doom and Oogie Boogie.
  • Tickets use tiered pricing listed roughly between $139 and $199 and multiple dates have already sold out, reducing late availability and forcing visitors to check the party calendar when planning evenings or Park Hopper moves.
  • Oogie Boogie Bash includes event‑exclusive food, merchandise and Magic Key perks such as special shirts, pins and photo/candy opportunities, which are strengthening demand and shaping how guests time their park visits.
