If you’ve ever experienced the anxiety-inducing process of trying to purchase a highly-anticipated Disney ticket, you know that the process is often, well, a hot mess. In the past, we’ve seen Disney’s website crash, experienced random pauses while waiting in the virtual queue, and watched tickets sell out in the blink of an eye. It’s a high-stress situation, people!

Most recently, tickets for Disneyland’s Oogie Boogie Bash went on sale, and we had a feeling that the process was going to be a little tricky, to say the least. Let’s talk about our experience on June 29th.

If you’re not familiar, Oogie Boogie Bash is a popular Halloween party filled with special treats, exclusive entertainment, Disney villain character meet-and-greets, and much more.

Oogie Boogie Bash runs on select nights from September 5th through October 31st. The event is hosted by none other than Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and he’s previously been accompanied by other rare Disney villains.

The event has sold out QUICKLY in the past (within a few days), and we expected a similar experience this time around.

General Admission Oogie Boogie Bash tickets went live on the Disneyland website at 9AM PT on June 29th, 2023. We hopped on the website bright and early and were fully prepared to wait in the virtual queue for a ticket.

Just a few days earlier, Magic Key Holders were able to purchase tickets, but the pre-sale tickets quickly sold out.

Well, a few hours later, we were still waiting in the virtual queue when we were hit with an update. Our screen was updated with a message reading, “Ticket sales have temporarily paused and will resume soon.” Do you see that face Oogie Boogie is making? It’s like he’s taunting us!

Yep. Looks like we might be waiting for a while. As of now, the queue is still paused, so our spot in line is on hold for now. We’ll watch for more updates from Disney, so stay tuned for additional information.

The party begins at 6PM and ends at 11PM, but guests with special event tickets can enter the park starting at 3PM.
