Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party vs. Oogie Boogie Bash: Everything You Need to Know for 2025

If you’re dreaming of spooktacular Disney magic this fall, it’s time to get your plans in place! Whether you’re team Walt Disney World or team Disneyland, Disney’s two beloved Halloween events are back for 2025: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom in Florida and Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure in California.

These separately ticketed events are known to sell out quickly, especially on weekends and closer to Halloween night, so getting the scoop early gives you a major advantage (and we love a strategic traveler!). Here’s what you need to know to plan ahead and pick your perfect fright night.


Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (Walt Disney World, FL)

Event Dates: Select nights from August 9 to October 31, 2025
Location: Magic Kingdom Park, Walt Disney World Resort
Ticket Price Range: $119 to $229 (plus tax), depending on the date
Ticket Sale Dates:

  • May 15, 2025 for guests staying at select Disney Resort hotels
  • May 22, 2025 for the general public

Event Highlights:

  • Exclusive Boo-To-You Halloween Parade
  • Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks show
  • Trick-or-treating around the park
  • Character sightings (in Halloween costumes!)
  • Specialty treats and spooky photo ops

Tip: Guests with party tickets can enter Magic Kingdom starting at 4 PM, even though the party officially starts at 7 PM. Costumes are encouraged (yes, adults too!), just follow Disney’s costume guidelines.


Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party (Disneyland Resort, CA)

Event Dates: Select nights from August 25 to October 31, 2025 (official calendar TBA, but this is the anticipated range based on past years)
Location: Disney California Adventure Park
Ticket Price Range: Typically between $134 and $189 (pricing for 2025 TBA)
Ticket Sale Dates:

  • Expected early summer 2025 — historically, sales begin in late June or early July for Magic Key holders first, then the general public.

Event Highlights:

  • Immersive treat trails with villains like Oogie Boogie and Agatha Harkness
  • Frightfully fun entertainment and photo ops
  • The fan-favorite “Villains Grove” walkthrough experience
  • Kids and adults alike can dress up and trick-or-treat through the park
  • Shorter ride lines and exclusive Halloween overlays

Tip: This event takes place in California Adventure, not Disneyland Park, so be sure to plan your tickets and park reservations accordingly.


Which One Is Right for You?

If you’re traveling with younger kids and want a classic, less spooky feel, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary is the gold standard. If you’re after immersive villain vibes and more thrills with your chills, Oogie Boogie Bash might be your Halloween dream.

Both are unforgettable—just tailored to different kinds of magic.

These events sell out fast, especially around weekends, fall break, and Halloween night.

At Bright Life Travel, we take the logistics, the research, the options, and the “is this actually a good idea?” questions off your plate so you can focus on the fun parts.

If your family is dreaming about a getaway but you’re not dreaming about planning it, we’d love to make this the easiest trip you’ve ever taken.
I’m sure you’ve heard - The FAA just announced flight reductions of up to 10% at 40 major U.S. airports, citing staff shortages and safety concerns. In plain terms, that means fewer available flights, more rerouting, and a higher chance of schedule changes - especially during busy travel weeks.

If you’re flying in late November or December, or planning big family travel next year, here’s what we recommend:

✈️ Build in buffer time. Avoid tight layovers and early morning connections when possible.

🧳 Book through a trusted travel advisor. We monitor changes, advocate for you, and secure alternate routes fast if something shifts.

📅 Stay flexible. Choose refundable or changeable fares, and keep travel insurance active.
