Disneyland Resort’s 2026 fall season starts Friday, August 21, 2026, with Halloween Time, Plaza de la Familia and Oogie Boogie Bash all returning across Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure.
For visitors, the most immediate planning date is the Oogie Boogie Bash ticket sale window: Inspire Magic Key holders start Tuesday, June 16, all Magic Key holders start Wednesday, June 17, and general public sales start Thursday, June 18.
Oogie Boogie Bash tickets
Oogie Boogie Bash returns to Disney California Adventure on 33 select nights from Tuesday, August 18 through Saturday, October 31, 2026. Tickets start at $139 per guest ages 3 and older, with general public sales beginning Thursday, June 18 at no earlier than 9 a.m. Pacific.
Disneyland says the online waiting room for general admission tickets opens at about 8:45 a.m. Pacific on June 18. Magic Key presales begin earlier, with Inspire Key holders getting access June 16 and all Magic Key holders getting access June 17.
The after-hours party runs from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. at Disney California Adventure. A party ticket includes entry to Disney California Adventure as early as 3 p.m. on the valid event date, and guests entering with the party ticket at 3 p.m. or later do not need a separate park reservation for that entry.
New party entertainment
The 2026 party adds Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake, a Haunted Mansion-inspired street party at Disney California Adventure. Disney says the new entertainment brings frightful Haunted Mansion-inspired moments to the park.
Returning Oogie Boogie Bash elements include Villains Grove, immersive treat trails, Disney characters in Halloween costumes, event photo opportunities and select attraction access. Disney also says Ichabod Crane will appear at select times as the Headless Horseman rides through Disney California Adventure.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Premier Pass and Single Pass are not available during the event. Parking is not included in the party ticket price.
Halloween Time
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort runs Friday, August 21 through Saturday, October 31, 2026. The season includes Halloween decor, character outfits, attraction overlays, entertainment, food, merchandise and hotel offerings across the resort.
At Disneyland Park, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and friends will appear in new Halloween attire in Town Square. Haunted Mansion Holiday returns with Jack Skellington, Sally, Zero and Oogie Boogie, while Halloween Screams includes fireworks on select evenings.
At Disney California Adventure, Cars Land becomes Radiator Screams again with Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree and Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween. Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark also returns in Avengers Campus.
Plaza de la Familia
Plaza de la Familia returns to Disney California Adventure from Friday, August 21 through Monday, November 2, 2026. The seasonal celebration is inspired by Pixar’s Coco and honors Dia de los Muertos with entertainment, decor, food and merchandise.
The Storytellers of Plaza de la Familia Celebrate the Musical World of Coco returns with songs from the film and classic Mexican music. Guests can also find live mariachi music at Paradise Garden Bandstand, a memory wall in Paradise Gardens Park and a Dia de los Muertos installation near Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante in Disneyland Park.
Paradise Garden Grill will serve seasonal menu items, including the returning Chilaquiles Carnitas Torta. Disney says the full Disney Eats guide for the season will come later.
Planning notes
Disneyland is also pointing visitors toward two current offers for early fall trips. The Kids’ Summer Ticket Offer can be used for visits through Monday, September 7, 2026, with children ages 3 through 9 visiting for $50 per child with the purchase of a special 1-Day Park Hopper ticket.
Disneyland Resort hotel savings of up to 15% are also available for select Sunday through Thursday night stays through September 7, 2026. For Halloween Time day tickets, Disney Parks Blog listed 10 September dates with 1-Day, 1-Park tickets for guests 10 and older at $104 at the time of its June 2 post.
The big takeaway is simple: Oogie Boogie Bash ticket sales are the first decision point. Anyone aiming for a specific party night should be ready for the waiting room before 9 a.m. Pacific on the correct sale date, then build the rest of the fall trip around Halloween Time and Plaza de la Familia.
