Disneyland Halloween Announcement: The Return of the Oogie Boogie Bash
Fall has always been a magical season at Disneyland Resort, and this year is no exception. From September 1 to October 31, 2023, get ready for a family-friendly fall extravaganza that will immerse you in the spirit of Halloween, including the return of the Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party. Let’s dive into all the exciting details that await you during this enchanting time at the Happiest Place on Earth!
Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort
The magic of Halloween Time will enchant both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. From the moment you step foot in either park, you’ll be greeted by spirited seasonal décor and beloved characters dressed in their spookiest Halloween looks. Everywhere you turn, there will be countless opportunities for memorable photos and delightful encounters.
At Disneyland Park, the Main Street Pumpkin Festival sets the stage for a festive atmosphere. You won’t want to miss the transformation of Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park into Radiator Screams, where the residents and establishments don their best Haul-O-Ween costumes. And speaking of costumes, get ready to see Mickey Mouse and his pals debuting ghostly new outfits at Disneyland Park.
Fans of “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” will be thrilled to know that Jack Skellington and his friends will once again take over the Haunted Mansion, creating a whimsical collision of Halloween and Christmas. Don’t forget to feast your eyes on the deviously delightful gingerbread house, lovingly crafted by the talented Disneyland Resort culinary team.
As night falls, prepare for the spine-tingling “Halloween Screams” nighttime spectacular. Watch in awe as supernatural projections, special effects, and haunting music bring Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle, Rivers of America, and “it’s a small world” to life. And for a truly immersive experience, MagicBand+ will add an extra dimension of eeriness with ominous illuminations and shivering vibrations. On select nights, fireworks will light up the skies, creating a dazzling display of Halloween magic.
Disney California Adventure Park will also get a spooky makeover. Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree and Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters will undergo seasonal transformations to become Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree and Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween, complete with hair-raising soundtracks. Look out for Guido, who will be donning a ghoulish “car-stume” as he welcomes guests to the Casa Della Tires. And don’t miss the thrilling adventure of Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark at Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! in Avengers Campus.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! Downtown Disney District will also join in the Halloween festivities. From September 8 to November 1, you can participate in Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit, a scavenger hunt for Disney character-themed pumpkins hidden throughout the district. Purchase a map from participating locations and collect a special keepsake as you enjoy the fall décor, entertainment, and offerings from select locations.
Of course, no visit to Disneyland Resort during Halloween Time is complete without indulging in the delectable seasonal treats and beverages. Dining locations across the resort will serve up a tempting array of bites and drinks featuring the flavors of fall, such as pumpkin fritters and a Halloween cake. And make sure to check out the fabulous Halloween merchandise, including apparel, home décor, and collectibles, featuring trendy designs that will make your autumn wardrobe pop.
