Disneyland has now not launched 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash price tag costs as a part of Midway to Halloween, but it surely’s imaginable the primary Disneyland.com website online updates in a while with date-by-date pricing. Or most likely now not. Without a date set but for when gross sales are going to start (extra on that during a minute), we aren’t anticipating costs simply but.
Closing yr, the cost vary for Oogie Boogie Bash tickets was once $134 to $189, which was once an building up by way of $5 to $10 in keeping with night time. As a common topic, tickets were given costlier nearer to Halloween, with the most affordable dates initially of September and the development getting step by step pricier the deeper dates were given into October. It wasn’t a instantly line, even though; weeknights have been upper than weekends. Be expecting roughly the similar factor for the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash.
In terms of all issues Disneyland, value will increase are a reality of lifestyles. Given the record-setting tempo that every one dates of remaining yr’s Oogie Boogie Bash bought out, we truthfully wouldn’t be shocked with a spread of $149 to $199. Even then, each and every unmarried date will almost definitely promote out.
Don’t inform them we mentioned this, however Disneyland may almost definitely bump the variability even upper: $174 to $249 would almost definitely nonetheless promote out maximum (if now not all) dates. The urge for food for Halloween amongst Disneyland enthusiasts and locals is insatiable, and numerous ex-Annual Passholders use Oogie Boogie Bash so as to get their “Disney repair.”
The development is already clearly very dear, however there was once numerous unhappy call for remaining yr. We concern Disneyland Lodge will push costs much more aggressively–however we had the similar concern remaining yr and it didn’t occur. The corporate does turns out reluctant to (proceed) elevating costs too excessive and too speedy. The reputational hit from the Chapek years has carried out lasting harm that they’re nonetheless operating to undo. Anyway, we will see what occurs with 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash price tag costs.
As for when tickets will cross on sale, Disneyland has equipped no get started date. Simply that they’ll supply extra main points “within the coming weeks” in regards to the tournament, together with when price tag gross sales will get started.
For reference, Magic Key pre-sale tickets went on sale for remaining yr’s Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Celebration starting on June 27 (no previous than 9 a.m. Pacific). Basic public price tag gross sales have been meant to start out on June 29 remaining yr. On the other hand, technical difficulties necessarily driven that again for a few weeks till mid-July.
On the other hand, it’s value noting that Oogie Boogie Bash dates and main points weren’t even introduced till overdue June remaining yr, nearly precisely one week earlier than pre-sales began. With the announcement date shifting ahead, so too may the gross sales date. However we no doubt don’t be expecting gross sales to start out subsequent week. In truth, we’d be shocked if gross sales start in Would possibly 2024.
It’ll almost definitely occur in keeping with remaining yr (and the yr earlier than that), with a bit of luck minus the entire technical difficulties. Because the announcement did come over a month early, I wouldn’t be shocked if the gross sales dates moved ahead by way of a pair weeks. However actually, there’s now not a lot sense of urgency–until there’s a in point of fact huge value building up, Disneyland can have 0 problems promoting out all dates of the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash.
To that time, be expecting difficulties purchasing Oogie Boogie Bash tickets. To not scare you, however remaining yr there was once a multi-hour digital queue all over Magic Key presales, with all tickets all over that unique window promoting out earlier than everybody in line had an opportunity to shop for. The next week all over most people gross sales false get started, there was once additionally a multi-hour digital queue–only a few other folks have been in a position to finish transactions earlier than the queue closed because of technical difficulties.
Two weeks later, there was once as soon as once more a digital queue for the second one strive at common public gross sales. Each unmarried night time of Oogie Boogie Bash bought out on that day, and earlier than everybody had an opportunity to shop for. We all know any individual who was once in all 3 of the ones digital queues, losing 12+ hours within the procedure, who was once close out of tickets utterly. That’s hugely unhealthy good fortune, but it surely did occur!
We predict this yr to move smoother as a result of how may it now not?! (Well-known remaining phrases.) Nonetheless, there can be multi-hour digital queues, of this a lot we’re sure. Simply with a bit of luck now not the technical difficulties…and possibly a tad much less call for? Or a minimum of just a little extra provide thank you to two further nights!
Regardless, if you wish to be notified ASAP when Disney pronounces the gross sales date for tickets to the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash, subscribe to our FREE e-mail e-newsletter for updates.
It’s inconceivable to understand what’s going to occur with provide and insist, and we wouldn’t suggest playing on a poorly-informed prediction in regards to the tournament’s reputation this yr. We can undoubtedly be purchasing our 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash tickets ASAP, and strongly suggest you do the similar if you realize you need to wait this yr’s tournament. Even supposing call for isn’t as sturdy this yr, the Halloween events will most likely promote out all over the primary week of gross sales at the most recent. That’s par for the direction with Oogie Boogie Bash!
That’s why we have been hoping for extra celebration nights and, truthfully, are just a little disillusioned that Disneyland opted “most effective” for 27 nights of Oogie Boogie Bash. Sure, that’s probably the most ever…but it surely’s most effective 2 extra nights than remaining yr regardless of the Halloween season being 2 weeks longer. Our prediction was once 30 nights of Oogie Boogie Bash in August, September and October 2024.
We additionally mentioned that it wouldn’t wonder us if there are as many as 33 events. In having a look on the calendar, it gave the impression like 33 nights have been imaginable in the event that they actually stretched and stuffed in additional dates all over the low season. As an alternative, they added August nights however took a random week-long smash between the September 3 and 10 events, which is senseless to me.
Having 30+ events may’ve actually helped relieve one of the most drive at the high-demand tournament. It additionally turns out very attainable all over the overdue August and early September low season. I’m shocked Disneyland didn’t get extra competitive on that finish of the calendar!
Differently, be expecting the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Celebration to be very similar to earlier variations of the development. It’ll most likely as soon as once more come with early admission to Disney California Journey starting at 3:00 PM—no theme park reservation required.
Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Celebration may even function Immersive Deal with Trails. All the way through those, you’ll be capable of acquire candies—numerous high quality (and sizable) sweet plus the occasional healthy-ish pieces—alongside trails providing Halloween-inspired tune, a laugh decor and the Villains themselves, as they oversee the festivities from their thrones.
Along with those walk-through encounters highlighted by way of villains, there can be different personality meet & greets with common and uncommon characters, a few of whom can be wearing their very own Halloween costumes.
The headline leisure for Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Celebration is the Frightfully Amusing Parade. This spirited masquerade cavalcade options Mickey and Minnie Mouse, plus common Disney villains.
There’s additionally Mickey’s Trick & Deal with–watch Mickey and buddies as they headline a reside display stuffed with not-so-scary Halloween stories. Along with that, the preferred Villains Grove will go back–discover Redwood Creek Problem Path like by no means earlier than because the worlds of Disney Villains spread by means of airy scenes replete with hauntingly gorgeous colour, sound, mild and shadow.
Even though Disney hasn’t addressed it, our expectation is that Global of Colour – Villainous might not be offered all over the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash. At this level, it’s protected to mention that this Halloween midnight impressive has been completely retired. It reportedly garnered very combined opinions and coffee visitor pride ratings.
On the subject of adjustments for the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash, the standard pattern is for two new characters within the Immersive Deal with Trails. Closing yr, the rookies have been Yokai from Large Hero Six and Pass judgement on Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? The latter was once improbable, the previous was once underwhelming.
Our hope is that Yokai finally ends up being retired, changed with any other new personality, and Pass judgement on Doom makes a go back. But it surely’s inconceivable to expect which characters will come and which can cross. We by no means would’ve predicted one of the most villains Oogie Boogie Bash has showcased through the years–a variety of deep cuts.
There’s a gorgeous excellent probability that the entire adjustments are at the personality entrance. New meet & greets and most likely parade performers also are logical applicants. Disneyland does a gorgeous excellent task of refreshing Oogie Boogie Bash every yr whilst leaving the core leisure fairly untouched, and recent slates of distinctive and uncommon characters are the name of the game sauce to the development. (For extra about remaining yr’s characters, see Villains Deal with Path Pointers & Personality Meet & Greet Spots at Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween Celebration.)
In the end, we’re having a look ahead to the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash. We’ve actually loved the primary few years of this Halloween Celebration, and are nonetheless hoping that Disneyland will proceed to construct on that luck and scale it up. However with remaining yr promoting out in list time–and almost definitely sufficient call for to promote out all of the tournament 2 to a few instances over–there almost definitely isn’t a ton of incentive so as to add anything (until it will increase capability, through which case…).
In our view, Oogie Boogie Bash is excellent–however nonetheless falls brief as in comparison to Mickey’s No longer So Frightening Halloween Celebration in each and every regard apart from characters (which can be very, excellent at Oogie Boogie Bash). Particularly, fleshing out the parade and including another piece of cornerstone leisure–preferably, a degree display or any other new Halloween version of Global of Colour–would actually assist carry the development.
After all, demographics vary between the California and Florida parks, so most likely that is precisely what maximum Disneyland locals need from the development. There’s additionally the truth that Disneyland does extra for Halloween as a complete, and maximum of this is incorporated in common admission.
