PREPARING FOR THE SPOOKIEST EVENT OF THE YEAR

The tickets for the Oogie Boogie Halloween Party are selling out soon, so don't plan on purchasing your tickets on reaching the park. Tickets are sometimes cheaper online as well, so you are better off purchasing them beforehand. (Purchase your tickets!). Save the dates: The Oogie Boogie Halloween party will take place on the evenings of September 17, 19, 22, 24, 26, 29, and October 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, 27, 29, and October 31, 2019. The line to get into the park is likely to be long and you're going to want to get in right away and not miss a moment of fun! Guests will be able to celebrate a pre-party at Disney's California Adventure as well as Disneyland. Once you've purchased tickets, it's time to plan your costume. Everyone can wear a costume to this event, not just children, so make sure to take advantage of that. Check Disney's costume guidelines to make sure yours fits the bill.
