Time to start planning if you want to spend Halloween at Disney

It's time to start planning for Halloween, Disney fans. Yes, already. Tickets to Disneyland's Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party go on sale Thursday to the general public and quickly sell out. Tickets to Walt Disney World's Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party are currently on sale, and Halloween night is already sold out. Both specially ticketed, after-hours events are beloved for their event-exclusive entertainment, special character meet-and-greets, in-park trick-or-treating, and chance to dress in costume, which adult guests don't usually get to do in the parks. However, they're not the only way to celebrate Halloween, particularly at Disneyland. Here's what guests should know. Does Disneyland do anything special for Halloween? Disneyland goes all out for Halloween with fall festival vibes along Main Street, U.S.A., a 'Nightmare Before Christmas' overlay on Haunted Mansion, a Monsters After Dark takeover of Guardians of the Galaxy, Haul-O-Ween theming throughout Cars Land, Mickey's Trick and Treat show at Disney California Adventure and the Halloween Screams nighttime spectacular on select nights at Disneyland Park. All that is included with standard park admission, just like Disney California Adventure's Plaza de la Familia celebration, which honors Dia de los Muertos. Disneyland's ongoing 70th anniversary festivities are also included, though 'Wondrous Journeys" and 'Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!' will temporarily pause for Halloween Time offerings. What are the Halloween dates at Disneyland? Halloween Time runs Aug. 22 through Oct. 31 at Disneyland Resort. Plaza de la Familia starts on the same day but continues through Nov. 2 at Disney California Adventure. Oogie Boogie Bash will be held at Disney California Adventure: On Oogie Boogie nights, the park closes early to regular guests. The bash begins at 6 p.m., but attendees can enter as early as 3 p.m. How expensive is Oogie Boogie Bash? Oogie Boogie Bash tickets start at $139 for guests ages 3 and older. They top out at $199, for Halloween night. Last year's tickets ranged from $134 to $189. Does Disney World do anything for Halloween? Most of Disney World's Halloween activities are tied to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which is not included with standard admission. However, everyday guests can enjoy Halloween decorations along Magic Kingdom's Main Street U.S.A. and elsewhere around the resort. Beginning Aug. 16, Hollywood and Vine will offer Minney's Halloween Dine, a buffet with Minnie and her friends in Halloween attire at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Additional offerings may be available at the Disney Springs shopping, dining and entertainment complex and at Disney resorts for guests staying there. What are the dates for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2025? Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will be held at Magic Kingdom: Halloween night is already sold out. On party nights, Magic Kingdom closes early to regular guests. The event begins at 7 p.m., but attendees can enter the park as early as 4 p.m. How much is Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Event tickets start at $119 for guests age 10 and older, just like last year. However, the highest priced tickets now cost more. Last year's tickets peaked at $199. This year's tickets go up to $229. Can you go on rides during Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party? Yes, most rides remain open for the party and often have shorter waits than during the day, due to the event's limited capacity. The same is true for Oogie Boogie Bash.
