Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party 2024

[doix]

We are planning to be at DLR this Sunday and would go if you have no alternative groups to give them to— but we’re already gone once this season and would rather see them go to someone who otherwise can’t attend.

Sure. Please start a board conversation with me or use my g-mail account to send the names. Account name is [removed]

It looks like we can’t PM because you have only posted 4 times here. I will send you an email, but I just realized we probably won’t actually be able to use the tickets because my kids specifically want to see the Halloween fireworks at DL.

Data point. The back entrance for OBB is CLOSED in the afternoon. Have to go through the Rose entrance if coming through Grand cal.

You can still exit throughout the evening at least. Great to escape back after the second parade.

Can you tell me where the "back entrance" and the "Rose entrance" are? thank you

I think they mean the PPH entrance is closed to entry but the main GCH courtyard entrance to DCA is open for entry. They give out bags and wristbands just as you enter DCA from the GCH courtyard entrance.

This is correct, there is a sign on the Pixar Place gate way down near Disneyland Drive that says that entrance is only open until noon every day. Guess it’s more cost savings…

Correct. Tried to get in at 3pm and the entrance for to dca in the back that enters by hot dog palace is closed for entry....exit only

The grand cal entrance is open as usual that's across from grizzly peaks.

Thank you all very much. I am assuming the "Rose entrance" is the usual way out of the GCH into DCA by Grizzly River?

Yes, I assume it was a reference to its proximity to Napa Rose?

Had an enjoyable time at OBB last night (Sunday 10/27). Felt less crowded than the mid September weekday party I did last year. We did Agatha and Ernesto right at 6 with no lines. Hades and Doofenshmirtz were long at the start but shortened considerably after the first parade. We did the Sanderson sisters as the line didn’t look bad. Got in line 6:38 and it took 20 minutes. When I walked by twice later that evening it was even shorter. I think the hype for this photo op is dwindling considerably? We waited maybe 10-15 for Pain and Panic (phones pics only) and the line stayed the same throughout the night (maybe 20 or so people).

We waited for the first parade (7:45) just outside the entrance to Little Mermaid. We got there about 7:30 and were just behind a row of people sitting. The Horseman came through at 7:54 with the parade coming by 8:04. Once the last float came by we quickly turned around and walked to Villains Grove where we walked right in. We went through in maybe 10-15 minutes and as we left the line had grown considerably. Being on the correct side of the street to head there quickly makes a difference.

After that we did all the trails and generally they were very quick, maybe 5 mins at most. The only one that was still a bit lengthy was Sid so we just watched from afar. The CMs gave much more candy than the party I did last year, maybe since only two parties are left. Most have at least two pieces and at least 1-2 per trail would give a full handful throughout the night, and especially in the last hour. It was much more pleasant in the evening in late October than mid September also!

Felt like way more people were staking out and watching the parade than I remembered last year. Both parades were quite busy, you can still roll up last minute if you’re fine being behind a couple people.

We always time the parade with swings and watch from the stairs.
