Disney confirmed the holding of a special edition of Noite D23 during Oogie Boogie Bash, the company’s traditional Halloween event. The celebration takes place on September 27, 2026, at the Disney California Adventure Park premises. Access to the amusement complex will be restricted to members of the official fan club and their respective guests after the end of regular business hours.
The evening program includes themed entertainment activities, changes to the lighting of the sets and immersive experiences adapted for a family audience. The audience capacity is drastically reduced compared to normal operating days. The measure guarantees shorter waiting times in queues for the Californian park’s main mechanical attractions.
Cronograma for selling tickets and entry times
The process of acquiring tickets requires prior planning from interested parties. The official sale for D23 members begins on June 16, 2026. The event organizers will implement a virtual queue system, with the waiting room opening scheduled for 8:45 am, considering Pacífico’s time zone.
Cada visitor needs an individual and specific ticket to participate in the night’s festivities. The credential guarantees the right to enter Disney California Adventure Park from 3pm, hours before the official start of Halloween programming. Este transition period allows guests to enjoy the common areas of the complex while the technical team prepares the transition to the Oogie Boogie Bash atmosphere.
The park administration waives the need for additional reservations for the date. The Noite D23 ticket acts as a complete passport for the specified period, simplifying the logistics of accessing the property’s main turnstiles.

The Disney PhotoPass service allows unlimited downloads of all digital photographs taken by park professionals between 6pm and 11pm.
Recovering images requires the use of the official Disneyland application. The user needs to scan the QR code printed on the ID bracelet and link the data to their MyDisney account. The system processes the files in high resolution and makes the material available in the client’s virtual gallery in a few minutes.
The consumer products department developed merchandise specifically for the occasion. D23 members have the option to purchase two limited edition Halloween pins. Sales comply with a restriction of two units per transaction, one of each model available. The link to access the virtual store is sent to buyers shortly after confirming payment for the main ticket.
Normas clothing and safety protocols in the complex
Participation in Oogie Boogie Bash allows adults and children to wear full costumes within the Disney California Adventure Park facilities. The practice, normally restricted to children on regular days, follows a strict manual of safety guidelines.
The security team carries out visual inspections of the access turnstiles. Roupas that drag on the ground, masks that cover the entire face of adults and props that simulate real firearms are subject to immediate veto. The policy aims to prevent accidents on roller coaster boarding platforms and ensure rapid visual identification of everyone present in the event of an emergency evacuation.
Controlling the event’s maximum capacity facilitates mobility on the park’s main roads. Crowd management operates with expanded circulation corridors and demarcated rest areas near food areas. The medical care structure and information points operate with reinforced staff throughout the night.
Dinâmica operational and preparation of thematic infrastructure
Transforming the complex for the Halloween season requires months of logistical planning. Engenheiros and lighting technicians install miles of temporary cables to power the projectors that alter the building facades at Buena Vista Street. The color palette transitions from the usual pastel tones to variations of purple, green and orange as the sun sets.
The food and beverage sector also adapts its menus for Noite D23. Quick-service restaurants and kiosks throughout the park prepare themed snacks, unique desserts and non-alcoholic drinks in vibrant colors. The gastronomic operation maintains a continuous flow of service to avoid crowds at peak party times.
The event coordination monitors the flow of visitors in real time through sensors installed in the highest density areas. Strategically distributing candy trails and character hangouts helps disperse the crowd evenly. The operational strategy ensures that the immersive experience maintains the quality standard required by members of the official fan club.
