Please explain to me how the Oogie Boogie Bash "works"

[Disneyland1084]

When you show up at CA Adventure for the party, are you given a wrist band of some sort,so it can be scanned at each candy station so you can't go to the same one multiple times? What time does the party start, end? When it's over, does the park open again to the general public? What candy is usually given? No peanuts I understand, so Payday is out of the question. But do they hand out Reese's Peanut Butter cups?

There will be a special party wristband, but it's just a plastic band - they don't scan it or anything apparantly they do scan it at DL but not for candy lines. They will clear the park of non-party guests before it starts at 6 PM, and it is open until 11 PM, which will be the close for the night. You can visit candy stations as often as you'd like - there may be lines though. They should also have allergy friendly treats that you can request, but I don't know the specifics of what they offer.

Wristbands are scanned for photo pass photos and to enter and exit park if your choose too.

They have allergy friendly treats. The thing with this is when you go through a treat line there will be 2-4 candy stops but only 1 will have allergy friendly options. Usually you can tell which it is because they have a container sitting inside the other candy. Also, Disney really takes allergy friendly as a "healthier" snack option imo. Like we dont do dairy but can have skittles, skittles are handed out with the traditional candy. Some allergy friendly options we got were craisins, natures bakery newtons, suckers, fruit snacks. We ended up just getting all of it, sorted through and then gifted candy to some kids at the pool who were not attending OBB.
