Halloween at Disneyland 2025 Overview

Disneyland Tickets 2025

Regular Disneyland Tickets (Daytime Admission)

Disneyland uses a tiered pricing system for one-day tickets, based on demand and date.

  • 1-Day, 1-Park Tickets: $104 to $206
  • Park Hopper Option (visit both parks on the same day): additional cost, starting at $65 extra.
  • 3-Day, One-Park-Per-Day Tickets: about $415 per adult and $390 per child.

This means visiting earlier in September is often more affordable, while weekends in October fall at the higher end of the scale.


Oogie Boogie Bash: Disney’s Halloween Party

The Oogie Boogie Bash is the most popular Halloween event at Disneyland Resort and requires a separate ticket. For 2025, prices are:

  • $139 to $199 per person, depending on date.

Admission includes:

  • Early park entry (3 hours before the party begins).
  • Frightfully Fun Parade led by Oogie Boogie.
  • Villains Grove, an immersive walkthrough experience.
  • Interactive Treat Trails filled with candy and entertainment.
  • Special character meet-and-greets, often featuring rare villains.
  • Exclusive entertainment including Mickey’s Trick and Treat show for families.

Tickets sell out fast—often within hours—so purchasing early is highly recommended.
