We’ll attempt to reply based mostly on what we all know based mostly on historic announcement dates, previous demand, and extra.

As with all of those speculative posts, we’ll begin by underscoring the truth that Madame Leota shouldn’t be employed by this weblog, which is to say that we don’t have a crystal ball. Nobody may give you a definitive reply about when Disneyland will launch 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Occasion tickets. The identical holds true for just about something that hasn’t been formally introduced, launched internally, or leaked.

(Simply be warned–tickets will promote out FAST, so that you’ll need to be prepared to purchase instantly.) This submit merely makes an attempt to supply perception as to when that date will probably be based mostly on previous precedent and modifications for 2024 in response the above reader questions…

Whereas Disneyland hasn’t launched full particulars, we now have a fairly good image of what this yr’s Halloween season will entail (see our full 2024 Information to Halloween at Disneyland Resort for the whole lot past Oogie Boogie Bash), with spook season kicking off on August 23––the primary time ever it has ever kicked off that early, and basically two weeks sooner than regular.

As is typical, the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash received’t get going till just a little after the remainder of the Halloween Time festivities and enjoyable. The excellent news–for those who just like the occasion, unhealthy information for those who don’t–is that Oogie Boogie Bash additionally begins sooner than ever and with a complete of 27 occasion dates for Halloween 2024, which is 2 extra nights than final yr…

Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Occasion will begin in August for the primary time within the Halloween celebration’s historical past. This yr, the occasion will start on August 25 (versus September 5 final yr) and run via October 31, 2024. The limited-capacity, individually ticketed occasion will probably be held on 27 nights from late August via October, including family-friendly enjoyable for friends of all ages the chance throughout Halloween Time. See our full Information to the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Occasion for each single date and all different particulars.

As for when tickets will go on sale, Disneyland has supplied no official begin date. Simply that they’ll present extra particulars “within the coming weeks” concerning the occasion, together with when ticket gross sales will begin. So right here’s the place our hypothesis begins, based mostly on the ticket gross sales for Disney California Journey’s Halloween celebration every of the previous few years.

Final yr, Magic Key pre-sale tickets went on sale for final yr’s Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Occasion starting on June 27. Basic public ticket gross sales had been supposed to begin on June 29 final yr. Nevertheless, technical difficulties basically pushed that again for a few weeks till mid-July.

Nevertheless, it’s price noting that Oogie Boogie Bash dates and particulars weren’t even introduced till late June final yr, nearly precisely one week earlier than pre-sales began.

This carefully parallels what occurred in 2022, albeit with the official announcement coming roughly two weeks earlier in mid-June of that yr. (In evaluating the years, that’s nonetheless over a month after the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash dates had been introduced.)

Tickets went on sale for the 2022 Oogie Boogie Bash starting on June 28 as a pre-sale solely for Magic Key holders. On June 30, most people was in a position to buy Oogie Boogie Bash tickets.

In 2022, there was additionally a multi-hour digital queue to buy tickets on each June 28 and June 30. It took us about 4 hours to buy our celebration tickets on June 28. Some Magic Key holders had shorter waits, others reported longer occasions. The queue additionally crashed a few times, and had points with fee processing whereas we had been testing.

Some 2022 Oogie Boogie Bash nights bought out inside days of happening sale, and ALL dates had been passed by July 3, at which level tickets for Oogie Boogie Bash completely bought out.

Tickets went on sale later the earlier yr–on July 13, 2021. Nevertheless, I don’t actually suppose that’s related as Disneyland had simply reopened and was racing to revive normalcy, which didn’t occur till mid-June. It’s frankly a small miracle that the Halloween celebration occurred that yr in any respect, it’s extra of an anomaly and doesn’t provide perception or precedent. Nor do the 2019 or earlier Halloween occasions.

Our greatest guess is that 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash ticket gross sales will begin no later than late June, identical to final yr and the yr earlier than that. Nevertheless, with the announcement date shifting ahead, so too might the gross sales date. We positively don’t count on gross sales to begin throughout the subsequent week, although. Truthfully, we’d be shocked if gross sales start in Might 2024 in any respect.

It’ll in all probability occur according to final yr (and the yr earlier than that), hopefully minus all of the technical difficulties. Because the announcement did come over a month early, I wouldn’t be shocked if the gross sales dates moved ahead by a pair weeks.

However actually, there’s not a lot sense of urgency–until there’s a very huge value improve, Disneyland can have zero points promoting out all dates of the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash. This can be a massive a part of why Disneyland has all the time began gross sales of Oogie Boogie Bash tickets later than Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Occasion at Walt Disney World–there’s no rush since each single night time sells out each single yr.

To that time, count on difficulties shopping for Oogie Boogie Bash tickets. To not scare you, however final yr there was a multi-hour digital queue throughout Magic Key presales, with all tickets throughout that unique window promoting out earlier than everybody in line had an opportunity to purchase. The next week throughout most people gross sales false begin, there was additionally a multi-hour digital queue–only a few folks had been in a position to full transactions earlier than the queue closed as a consequence of technical difficulties.

Two weeks later, there was as soon as once more a digital queue for the second try at common public gross sales. Each single night time of Oogie Boogie Bash bought out on that day, and earlier than everybody had an opportunity to purchase. We all know somebody who was in all three of these digital queues, losing 12+ hours within the course of, who was shut out of tickets fully. That’s massively unhealthy luck, nevertheless it did occur!

We expect this yr to go smoother as a result of how might it not?! (Well-known final phrases.) Nonetheless, there will probably be multi-hour digital queues, of this a lot we’re sure. Simply hopefully not the technical difficulties…and possibly a tad much less demand? Or a minimum of a bit extra provide due to 2 further nights!

As soon as once more, if you wish to be notified ASAP when Disney publicizes the gross sales date for tickets to the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash, subscribe to our FREE electronic mail e-newsletter for updates. For those who don’t try this, we extremely suggest visiting the Disneyland web site each day for updates, as you’ll completely need to be able to buy tickets on day one when gross sales begin. Additionally once more, not attempting to scare you–simply attempting to set life like expectations after listening to from tons of readers in the previous few years who waited to buy and obtained shut out.

We will definitely be shopping for our 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash tickets ASAP, and strongly suggest you do the identical if you understand you need to attend this yr’s occasion. Even when demand isn’t as robust this yr, the Halloween events will seemingly promote out through the first week of gross sales on the newest. That’s par for the course with Oogie Boogie Bash!

That’s why we had been hoping for extra celebration nights and, truthfully, are a bit upset that Disneyland opted “solely” for 27 nights of Oogie Boogie Bash. Sure, that’s probably the most ever…nevertheless it’s solely 2 extra nights than final yr regardless of the Halloween season being 2 weeks longer. Our prediction was 30 nights of Oogie Boogie Bash in August, September and October 2024.

We additionally mentioned that it wouldn’t shock us if there are as many as 33 events. In wanting on the calendar, it appeared like 33 nights had been doable in the event that they actually stretched and crammed in additional dates through the low season. As a substitute, they added August nights however took a random week-long break between the September 3 and 10 events, which is not sensible to me.

Having 30+ events might’ve actually helped relieve a number of the stress on the high-demand occasion. It additionally appears very doable through the late August and early September low season. I’m shocked Disneyland didn’t get extra aggressive on that finish of the calendar!

In the end, we’re wanting ahead to the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash…assuming we’re in a position to rating tickets! We’ve actually loved the primary few years of this Halloween Occasion, and are nonetheless hoping that Disneyland will proceed to construct on that success and scale it up. However with final yr promoting out in document time–and doubtless sufficient demand to promote out the complete occasion 2 to three occasions over–there in all probability isn’t a ton of incentive so as to add the rest (until it will increase capability, wherein case…).

In our view, Oogie Boogie Bash is nice–however nonetheless falls brief as in comparison with Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Occasion in each regard besides characters (that are very, superb at Oogie Boogie Bash). Particularly, fleshing out the parade and including yet one more piece of cornerstone leisure–ideally, a stage present or one other new Halloween version of World of Colour–would actually assist elevate the occasion. Nevertheless, there’s additionally the fact that Disneyland does extra for Halloween as an entire, and most of that’s included in common admission–so Oogie Boogie Bash and Halloween as an entire at Disneyland Resort is fairly good, all issues thought-about!
