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.

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)

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.

There’s a lot going on in those minds. Maybe too much sometimes, but we take our jobs seriously and we’re always thinking about the best possible outcomes for our clients. ✨
Who plans every family vacation in your family?

You know the one. They compare flights, research hotel locations, collect everyone’s passport details, track payment deadlines, and remind the group chat of things it has already been told four times.

Then they’re expected to arrive relaxed. Adorable.

That’s where we come in.

You tell us who’s traveling, what matters most, and how you want the trip to feel. We narrow the options, make an actual recommendation, handle the reservations, and keep the details moving.

You can still have opinions. You just don’t have to personally manage every room category, transfer, deadline, and browser tab.

Send this to your family’s unofficial travel department. They’ve been through enough.
Spilling the tea of some of our most embarrassing travel moments. This one is not for the faint of heart, or easily gag induced human.
Sometimes you just need a change of scenery.

A few days where the to-do list looks different. Where everyone gets out of their normal routines, spends actual time together, and remembers there’s a whole world outside of the everyday rush.

That’s one of our favorite things about travel.

It doesn’t have to be the farthest destination or the fanciest itinerary. It just needs to be the right trip, with the right people, at the right time.

So tell us: where would you go if you could pack your bags tomorrow? ✈️
Just a little peek into the minds of our team! When we visit a new destination or resort, the things we’re noticing and thinking about are likely different from what a normal visitor would notice. 

Because of our experience and research, we love being able to match resorts and experiences to what our clients are looking for! 

We’d love to do that for you on your next trip too! Reach out when you’re ready to plan your next travels!
