Halloween Time and Oogie Boogie Bash in 2026
Disney lists Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort from August 21 through October 31, 2026. It is included with regular theme park admission, and a valid park ticket plus a park reservation is needed to enter Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park. Highlights include Haunted Mansion Holiday, the Halloween Screams nighttime spectacular with fireworks on select nights, and Plaza de la Familia, a Dia de los Muertos celebration inspired by Coco in Disney California Adventure.
Oogie Boogie Bash is a separately ticketed after-hours party at Disney California Adventure, held from 6 PM to 11 PM on select nights, and the ticket also admits guests to that park from 3 PM. The final 2026 party nights are Tuesday, October 27, Thursday, October 29 and Saturday, October 31, and Disney's event page says tickets are sold out. Disney sells party tickets online only and not on the day of the event. Bookingslane books transportation only and does not sell park or party tickets.
Where your chauffeur drops you off
Disney asks drivers to use its official pick-up and drop-off locations for the theme parks and Downtown Disney District. For the parks, enter the Harbor Boulevard drop-off area from the right southbound lane of South Harbor Boulevard, between South Manchester Avenue and Disney Way. The second area serves Downtown Disney District: take Magic Way from Disneyland Drive, turn left at Downtown Drive and follow the signs. Disney says taxis and rideshare may use both areas, and brief waiting is allowed, but parking or leaving a vehicle unattended is not.
The Downtown Disney drop-off has a 15-minute grace period, after which Disney's standard parking rates apply. If you are staying at the Disneyland Hotel, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa or Pixar Place Hotel, Disney directs cars to follow the signs for each hotel, so give your chauffeur the exact hotel name. Disney lists 1313 Disneyland Drive as the parks' street address, which is useful for navigation, but the drop-off areas above are where Disney asks cars to stop.
Why we suggest a round trip for a park day
A Halloween Time visit is usually a full day in the parks, and an Oogie Boogie Bash ticket brings you in at 3 PM for a party that ends at 11 PM. Keeping a chauffeur on hourly standby for ten hours or more rarely makes sense when you will be inside the gates the whole time, and Disney does not allow cars to park in its drop-off areas. A round trip books both legs together as two linked reservations: a drop-off at the start of your day and a pickup at a time you choose, such as after Halloween Screams or after the party closes.
Set the return time with some margin. One-way event pickups include 15 minutes of complimentary waiting from the scheduled time, and waiting beyond that is billed at the hourly rate of the vehicle booked. If your evening has several stops, such as dinner outside the resort before the party or a second destination on the way home, hourly chauffeur service keeps the same car and chauffeur with you instead.
Timing on party nights and Halloween weekend
Disney's park hours for Halloween week show Disney California Adventure open to day guests until 6 PM on October 27, 29 and 31, followed by the ticketed party from 6 PM to 11 PM. The same listing shows Disneyland Park open until midnight on Friday, October 30 and until 11 PM on Saturday, October 31. Hours can change, so check the park calendar or the Disneyland app on the day before you set your return pickup.
From Downtown Los Angeles the resort is about 27 miles, mostly on I-5, usually 40 to 90 minutes depending on traffic. From Beverly Hills it is about 38 miles via I-10 and I-5. Weekday afternoons from about 3 to 7 PM and Friday evenings are the slowest times on I-5, so allow extra time if you want to use the 3 PM party entry or reach the park before the 6 PM start.
Flying in for Halloween
Two published routes cover the airport legs of a Halloween trip. LAX to Disneyland is about 34 miles via I-105 and I-5, usually 45 to 90 minutes depending on traffic. SNA to Anaheim covers John Wayne Airport, which Disney calls the closest airport to the resort, at about 13 miles. Both pages explain flight monitoring, child seats and the hotel drop-off, so you can book the airport ride and the park day together.
Families, costumes and car seats
Halloween Time is a family celebration, and many park days include small children. A rear-facing child safety seat and a booster seat can be added when you book, and each seat uses one passenger position, so count every child when you choose the vehicle. For larger family groups, a Luxury SUV carries up to 7 passengers and 6 bags, and the Mercedes Sprinter Van up to 16 passengers and 18 bags. Count a folded stroller as one bag.
Costumes follow Disney's rules. Oogie Boogie Bash guests may wear costumes within the party's guidelines, which do not allow masks for guests 14 and older or costumes that drag on the ground, while other park guests follow Disney's standard attire rules. If your group is changing into costumes, do it at the hotel rather than in the car, since the drop-off areas allow only brief stops.
