Halloween Time Superthread 2019: "Oogie Boogie Bash" Party to Be Held in DCA ONLY! and Other Halloween Time Information

[midnight star]

Oh! You can get Oogies dice at Hollywood Lounge with the bugs drink. They charged me 9.99 plus the cost of the drink. I was very excited since I do not drink alcohol

Good to know. I wanted the dice but didn't want to pay $21 for the alcoholic version. $15 is a little easier to do lol

There’s no FP and I walked up as the 10:45 show was starting and got a great view. I heard the 9:00 was also easy walk-up viewing from other people we were with.

Where else other than Carthy Circle Lounge can you get the Purple Poison Apple Glow Cube? Are they available at the carts?

Its guardians of the galaxy in the complete dark I believe. A scarier version of the ride.

it is a scarier version of the ride, but not dark. just different scenes.
pretty much part 2 of the ride.

They’re all over the parks, but I know it’s available at the food truck by Hollywood Lounge.

Sorry if this has been answered before but can someone explain the wine trattoria Oogie boogie booking?
I have Oogie boogie tix for oct 29th, I went on Disneyland website to book a table .the only timings for dinner are 4.30. Is that because dca officially closes at 6 ? Do I book that and when checking in request a later table ?
Thanks for any help .also is the menu ok for a picky 16 year old lol ?

So there's still some things that are being worked out for this package... hopefully we'll have more insight soon. But here's what we do know: Booking between 3-4:50 PM allows you to ask for the dining package upon check-in which may get you FP's for the parade. The operating hours for the party nights seems to have it closed thereafter. Below is the image that GothicRosie posted, I don't know if anyone has heard about the hours of 5-6 PM. (Note: I posted an older image since it had more details. At this point, I think all hours have opened up for the package for the party nights).

Thank you !

Thank you !

You're welcome! Tonight is another party so I'm intrigued about how the dining package goes today versus on Tuesday. As for the menu, I took a screenshot of what magical_kinda_mama (IG) posted while they were at the first party.

I have to mention that unless you have a reason that your party can’t sit/stand for the parade, I really don’t see the point of the reserved parade viewing. It’s pretty far back, behind a wall, and it’s not that hard to find a viewing spot (plenty of front-row viewing was available at 7:45), so I just can’t imagine that the value is really there. And with them “adding seating” even further away, I wouldn’t want to be paying a premium for that at all.

Again, if you have someone who has a reason to need an actual chair, that’s a different story, but otherwise...

That is very helpful. And looking at the menu there is nothing my son would want to eat either. I think iam going to skip the package ( money saved ?) .

We have done similar. Based on info here we also skipped the WCT package for the 29/10 and put the money towards F! Package at BB. We determined it was needed more than the WCT as the parade route is long at the OBB and there seem to be plenty of good viewing.

We are attending the party on 9/29 if anyone can give me any insight I would appreciate it!

We were planning on hitting up the Animation Academy during the mix in time but with a treat trail being in there will it be open?

Where does the parade start from? I read to the left of Pixar Pier, but will it start from here each party or will it rotate since it’s only running once per party?

Where can I find the party exclusive pins and merch? Is it the locations marked on the map as having Halloween stuff? I really only want a pin and the ornament.

I will be trying to watch wait times during the mix in time today. Hope everyone had fun tonight! Please report back on the characters and any tips!

I don't know much about the mix-in's and what that does to Animation Academy or the other trails but here's what I found for the question about merchandise. It looks like Elias & Co, Gone Hollywood (Hollywood land), Rushin' River Outfitters (Grizzly Peak), Seaside Souvenirs (Paradise Garden Park) will have the Halloween stuff. Though this is based on my squinting at others' photos of the maps so hopefully someone else can chime in about that.

 

[livingthedream]

I did not notice anything, and I’m super sensitive to smells. That doesn’t mean it NEVER happens, but there’s one experience for you.

That sounds positive! I've also got an email in to Disney, but also appreciate any and all eyes (and noses) on the ground!!

Yep the pins and merch are dotted all around the park, I strolled up and got the jersey and pins within half an hour of the party starting at Rushin River, whilst others waited and fought it out on buena vista street

No. Not the whole time, although there are times that are completely dark. There are different scenes playing and a different soundtrack.

I think PP is mixing it up with the Tower of Terror that they did in the dark. MAD is just a different version of the ride where the monsters escaped.

Im just going to link the Wiki article here since it talks about what the Halloween overlay is actually like. Scroll down to MAD it discusses some of the differences:
