Well, it’s almost time…Halloween Time will be arriving in Disneyland in a few months (yeah, we know, summer JUST started, but that’s how it is) and tickets go on sale for Oogie Boogie Bash SOON.

Oogie Boogie Bash tickets go on sale to the general public on June 26th, and if you have ANY experience (or have heard the horror stories),  you’ll know that it might be easier to nab tickets to a Taylor Swift concert than it is to get into Oogie Boogie Bash. Yes, it’s stressful. Yes, it’s hard. But there are a few things that can make the Oogie Boogie Bash ticket-buying experience a little easier, so we’re going to share them with you.

So here’s the deal: Oogie Boogie Bash is a separate ticketed event that happens on select nights in Disney California Adventure. It’s also a limited ticket event, meaning only a certain number of tickets are available for each night of the party. Now, this is one of the most popular events in Disneyland, and if you’ve ever been to Oogie Boogie Bash, you’ll certainly understand why: not only do you get to go trick or treating, but you also get a fun Halloween-themed parade and get to see rare characters you’ll never see outside of the party. This is the seriously some of the most fun you can have in Disneyland.

So here are our best tips to score coveted tickets to this event.

Be ready to go when it’s “go” time

Disney states that Oogie Boogie Bash tickets will go on sale no earlier than 9 AM PT to the general public on June 26th. Okay, here’s a little secret: we’ve seen tickets go on sale a minute or two before the stated time, so you’ll want to have the Oogie Boogie Bash page on the Disneyland website ready to go a little earlier and just keep hitting “Refresh” and be sure to use those fast reflexes to click on the “Buy Tickets” button the minute it shows up.

You’ll probably end up in a virtual queue, but the faster you can do all this, the better chance you have of scoring tickets. So practice those computer and clicking skills and BE READY.

Choose less popular dates

The closer you get to Halloween, the harder it will be to get Oogie Boogie Bash tickets. Save for the first night of the party, you’ll probably have better luck if you choose dates that aren’t so popular, especially those in the middle of the week.

Also, it’s a good idea to have a few dates in mind and be flexible so you can grab tickets for whichever date still has tickets available. Your best bet is to grab whatever date you can get and then plan your Disneyland trip around that, rather than the other way around.

Buy an Inspire Magic Key

If you happen to catch it when Magic Keys go back on sale, you could even consider buying an Inspire Magic Key, so you can get early access to tickets. Inspire Magic Key holders can buy Oogie Boogie Bash tickets as early as June 24th. However, all other Magic Key Holders can get tickets as early as June 25th.

Now, being a Magic Key Holder still doesn’t guarantee you a ticket, because ticket sales for Magic Key holders are also limited. But you get more shots at grabbing tickets by having a Magic Key.

Have multiple people ready to buy tickets at the same time

A good strategy is to have multiple people on the Disneyland website ready to buy tickets. Then whoever gets through the virtual queue first has the best shot of getting tickets for your entire party. Just coordinate with your family and friends to improve your chance at getting tickets.

The odds dictate that the more people you have trying to get tickets for your party, the better chance one of them has at grabbing tickets before they’re all gone.

Prepare for technical issues

One thing you can almost count on for every Oogie Boogie Bash ticket sale is that the website will experience some kind of technical issue. Now, granted, the virtual queue system that was introduced a few years ago has made things a LITTLE better, but website crashes are still common occurrences.

You’ll want to be prepared for those issues and just keep checking. If it’s really bad, Disney might just pause ticket sales until a later date.

Try in different browsers

Something we also do is try buying tickets in different browsers. So if you normally use Google Chrome, try it in Chrome and another browser like Microsoft Edge or Safari. It also might not hurt to try accessing the ticket website in incognito mode.

Do we know why tickets are sometimes easier to get in certain browsers than others, when it seems so random? No, but we’ve still managed to score tickets from one browser over another.

Pray to the Disney gods

Finally, a lot of managing to get your hands on Disney tickets is in the hands of fate — and luck itself. So pray to whoever you pray to, light a candle, burn some sage, send some positive vibes into the universe, and cross those fingers in hopes that you’ll get Oogie Boogie Bash tickets before they’re gone.

In other words, GOOD LUCK, and may the Oogie Boogie odds be in your favor.
