Villains Grove
Your Oogie Boogie Bash itinerary will vary depending on who you bring. Children under the age of five may want to avoid a visit to Villain’s Grove, which has spooky views, scary sounds from the hallways, and long wait times. However, if your child plans to walk through the Gardens of the Queen of Hearts, Frollo’s Sanctuary, and the Maleficient backdrop, please wait in line for the final parade near closing time. Many visitors take their children home before the party ends, and when the moon comes out, the line time is significantly reduced.
Villain’s Grove opens at sunset, which limits the amount of time visitors can explore the scenic grounds. As the sun sets and the first parade passes, head toward the Grove, leading the pack of groggy-eyed children and their parents as they exit the park.
immersive snack trail
The immersive treat trail is a fast-moving attraction at this year’s Oogie Bash. Despite the long lines, the treat trail moves quickly as crews plant several barrels of candy in each aisle. This year’s visitors will stroll through villains from the past, including Cruella, Ernesto de la Cruz, Agatha Harkness, Sid, Mother Gothel, Yokai, Madame Mim, Judge Doom, Oogie Boogie, Dr. Facilier, and Maleficient.
However, be careful about how you look and talk about the villain. They don’t hesitate to point their slender fingers at you and mock your costume.
terrifyingly fun parade
The headless jockey sits atop a galloping stallion and begins the main parade each evening after the pre-parade. You won’t want to miss this sight, but don’t worry about getting a spot.
A 12-minute terrifyingly fun parade will march through the park twice during Oogie Boogie’s Bash. The first parade begins at 7:45 p.m., and a large crowd gathers to watch the sunset show. Rather than hunkering down an hour or two before the crowded 7:45 p.m. show, the experts arrived 10 minutes before the 10 p.m. show to catch Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, the Cheshire Cat, and more. We encourage unobstructed views of the popular spooky season trademark stomp. Via California Adventure Park.
don’t eat during the party

No matter how good your planning skills are, you won’t be able to enjoy all the fun. To make the most of your evening, you must avoid some terrible experiences. When ghouls, goblins, creatures, and humans mix together, food becomes a commodity. While Oogie Boogie Bash offers guests an abundance of delicious food, seasoned visitors are advised to eat before the bash to avoid long waits.
