Disneyland’s 70th Celebration Continues as Oogie Boogie Bash Returns for Halloween 2025

Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary celebration is still going strong — and soon, it will include a spooky twist.

The self-proclaimed “Happiest Place on Earth” has a long list of celebrations planned this year (with many already happening), and the latest addition is packed with family-friendly Halloween and not-so-spooky fall experiences.

Let’s take a look at all of the details.

Disneyland Resort 70th Anniversary Celebration

Disneyland turns 70 this year, and the 70th anniversary celebration is the centerpiece.

The Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration will “celebrate happy” with limited-time parades, shows, food, merchandise, and more through Summer 2026.

From nostalgic throwbacks to brand new (to the U.S.) characters, there is a lot to be happy about in Anaheim.

With so much to see and plenty of time to squeeze it all in, planning a trip to Disneyland should be on your to-do list.

Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort

If you’re looking for a not-so-scary Halloween party, Halloween Time at Disneyland is the place to be.

From August 22 through October 31, 2025, guests can experience Haunted Mansion Holiday, Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree, Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween, Guardians of the Galaxy — Monsters After Dark, and so much more.

There will be countless pumpkins, signature decorations, attraction overlays, Mickey’s Trick and Treat, themed food, and tons of merch to get guests in the spooky spirit.

And, of course, you can expect Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and their friends to be rocking their new Halloween looks!

Oogie Boogie Bash

Oogie Boogie Bash — A Disney Halloween Party is a separately ticketed event that offers after-hours, family-friendly fun at Disney California Adventure park.

This “frightfully fun” event is packed with tricks, treats, immersive events, parades, special attractions, and more.

This year’s Oogie Boogie Bash will be held on select nights (dates listed below) from August through October. Tickets start at $139 per person, plus tax, and will go on sale June 24 for Inspire Key holders, June 25 for all other Magic Key holders, and June 26 for the general public.

A Celebration of Coco: Plaza de La Familia at California Adventure

Celebrating the Spirit of Día de Los Muertos at the Plaza de la Familia is a must-do for fans of the film “Coco” from August 22 through November 2, 2025.

The plaza will come to life with music, dancing, a memory wall, crafts, and a “hand-animated dimensional figure of Miguel”.

Whether you’re grabbing a photo, snacking on some delicious Mexican cuisine, or taking in live entertainment from the “Storytellers of Plaza de la Familia Celebrate the Musical World of Coco!,” you will not want to skip the plaza.

The Holidays

The holiday season is always a magical time, but more so when the holidays are at Disneyland.

From November 14, 2025, through January 7, 2026, the resort will be illuminated with lights, festive entertainment, specialty menu items, and more.

Festival of the Holidays at California Adventure

From November 15, 2024, through January 6, 2025, guests can enjoy a diverse season of celebration at the Disney Festival of Holidays.

Packed with food, performances, and family activities inspired by the diverse season of celebrations in Southern California, this will be a festive and fun event for many cultures.

Parades and Shows

World of Color Happiness

This all-new show is inspired by Walt Disney’s words from 70 years ago, “To all who come to this happy place … welcome!”

Joy from “Inside Out” will host this show at Paradise Bay, which will feature fountains, lasers, projections, and more.

Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!

Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! is returning to the streets of Disneyland California Adventure Park, though only for a limited time.

Catch it in the summer of 2025.

Paint the Night Parade

The after-dark sensation is coming back to celebrate the 70th anniversary.

Your favorite characters will be on vibrant floats covered in over 1 million LED lights. A fan-favorite for good reason.

Wondrous Journeys

As part of the 70th anniversary celebration, this nighttime spectacular will transform Sleeping Beauty Castle, Main Street, U.S.A., the Rivers of America, and the façade of “It’s a Small World” into a stunning storyboard.

This stunning show, filled with images and chronicles of over 100 years of Walt Disney Animation Studios storytelling, should not be missed.

Ticketed Events

Throughout the year, there have been many specialty ticketed events. There are still some left to enjoy in 2025.

These after-hours events offer shorter wait times for select attractions, unique entertainment, themed food and beverages, unlimited PhotoPass digital downloads, and more.

Final Thoughts

2025 marks the 70th anniversary of Disneyland Resort in California, and there will be plenty of events to celebrate. Fall is a uniquely exciting time at the park as Halloween decorations and after-hours parties bring an extra special experience to guests.

If you’re planning a trip to see Mickey on the West Coast, start planning now, as popular events have been known to sell out quickly.
