Is Disneyland Park busy during Oogie Boogie Bash?

Regular park guests were still around at this time, so it felt pretty busy! Oogie Boogie Bash is completely sold out (including tonight's party), and we can definitely tell by these crowds. The line to get into Disney California Adventure looked long, but it only took a few minutes for us to get inside.
