Disney Debuts Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake for Oogie Boogie Bash

The Haunted Mansion–themed street party restricts evening access to separately ticketed guests, shrinking regular park hours on party nights.

Overview

  • Disney Parks released an official preview in mid‑August of Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake, a Haunted Mansion–themed street party that repurposes iconic sets, floats, choreography and characters for Oogie Boogie Bash.
  • The after‑hours event began Tuesday and runs select nights through October 31 with party hours commonly listed as 6:00–11:00 p.m., and ticketed guests allowed early entry around 3:00 p.m.
  • On party nights Disney California Adventure closes to regular‑admission visitors at 6:00 p.m., meaning a standard park ticket or arriving after 6:00 p.m. will not grant entry once the event begins.
  • Multiple Oogie Boogie Bash dates have sold out and remaining tickets vary by date with reported prices roughly between $139 and $189, while official event merchandise is sold all day without a party ticket and Magic Key holders receive exclusive items and perks.
  • Disney says the new street party replaces the long‑running Frightfully Fun Parade in 2026 because construction for an upcoming Coco‑themed attraction affects a nearby parade gate, a change that will repeatedly affect evening planning and Park Hopper options for visitors.
