Can you go to Disneyland with Oogie Boogie Bash?

On the dates that this special ticketed event takes place, the Disney California Adventure Park closes at 6:00 p.m. to those without an event ticket. However, Disneyland Park remains open until its regular closing time.



An Oogie Boogie Bash ticket is a "special event" ticket that provides admission specifically to Disney California Adventure Park, not Disneyland Park. As of the 2025-2026 season, the ticket typically allows "mix-in" access to California Adventure starting at 3:00 PM, three hours before the party officially begins at 6:00 PM. If you wish to visit Disneyland Park (the original park across the esplanade) on the same day, you must purchase a separate standard theme park ticket and make a park reservation. The Oogie Boogie Bash ticket is highly coveted because it includes exclusive character meet-and-greets, "treat trails," and themed entertainment that are not available during regular park hours, but its utility is strictly limited to the California Adventure side.
