Halloween Time planning stack: Bash worth-it math · tips hub · park reservations · dining reservations.

Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort runs August 21 through October 31, 2026 and is included with regular park admission. Oogie Boogie Bash is the paid after-hours add-on at Disney California Adventure on select nights. As of September 28, 2026, the season is underway (through October 31). This hub separates what you get with a normal ticket from what requires a Bash ticket — and Bash public tickets are sold out on Disney’s official page.

2026 dates you actually need

Older draft Bash date lists that showed midweek patterns like Aug 19/21 are outdated. Use the official Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday table in our Bash guide. When Halloween Time ends, Holidays at Disneyland takes over on November 13.

Included with regular admission (no Bash ticket)

Disneyland Park

• Haunted Mansion Holiday – Nightmare Before Christmas overlay. The seasonal must-do. Expect long waits; Lightning Lane Multi Pass may help on eligible days (verify in app).
• Halloween Screams – fireworks / projections on select nights. Check the entertainment calendar.
• Main Street pumpkins, décor, and characters in Halloween costumes
• Seasonal food and merch (extra cost, but no event ticket)

Not returning as a 2026 Halloween Time offering: Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy is not on Disney’s current Halloween Time listing. Do not plan a trip around Ghost Galaxy unless Disney announces it.

Disney California Adventure

• Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark – evening overlay (typically after mid-afternoon transition; confirm daily timing in the app)
• Radiator Screams – Cars Land décor plus Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree and Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween
• Mickey’s Trick and Treat – daytime show (confirm times)
• Plaza de la Familia – Día de los Muertos celebration through November 2
• Buena Vista Street / park-wide Halloween décor

Paid add-on: Oogie Boogie Bash

Bash is a limited-capacity party from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM with 3:00 PM mix-in. You get treat trails, rare villains (including Yzma in 2026), costumes for all ages under event rules, and Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake. Lightning Lane products are not sold during the party.

Tickets were sold beginning mid-June 2026. As of September 28, 2026, Disneyland.com’s official Bash page states tickets are sold out — confirm any rare reopening inventory on Disneyland.com (the D23 Members night on September 27 has already run). Full dates and the official price table: Bash guide. For crowds, closures and ticket prices this month, see Disneyland in October 2026.

Planning tips for September–October 2026

• On Bash nights, DCA day guests exit before the party. Plan Disneyland Park or Downtown Disney for late evening if you are not attending Bash.
• Indiana Jones Adventure closed September 8 for refurbishment and is scheduled back Friday, October 23, 2026 on Disney’s attraction schedule (verify in the app). Until then, that changes Lightning Lane math. See the LL guide.
• Genie+ is the old name for Lightning Lane Multi Pass. Rename explainer.
• Hotel Early Entry ended January 5, 2026. Comp LL is the on-property perk now. Hotel perks hub.

Disney California Adventure during Halloween Time

California Adventure carries much of the season: Cars Land becomes Radiator Screams, Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark runs in the evening, and Plaza de la Familia runs through November 2. On Oogie Boogie Bash nights the park becomes a separately ticketed party after day guests leave, so check the calendar before planning a DCA evening. Rope drop Radiator Springs Racers or WEB SLINGERS, and save Cars Land after dark for photos.

After Halloween Time: what comes next

• October 31, 2026 is the last day of Halloween Time.
• November 1–12: Mickey’s Mix Magic is listed as Disneyland Park’s nighttime show, with fireworks only on select nights.

• Ticket tip: select California Costco warehouses sell a 2-day Park Hopper with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and a $60 Disney Dining Card for $329.99, valid October 2 – December 18, 2026. Park reservations are still required. See our Costco guide.
