Oogie Boogie Bash 2025

How much merch was available? going Halloween night so just curious if anything is even left. This is probably the last time I go to OBB too. Not having a World of Color for OBB to me is so ridiculous, the fact the last one was in 2019 (Villainous) is crazy to me.

I did not pay any attention to the merch, unfortunately.

I don't think anything's sold out; in fact, I recall going yesterday and noting that pretty much the entire OBB collection is at 30% discount now.

I wonder why they pulled Villainous; surely the GSATs weren't that bad?

I'm sure it's pure laziness on the company's part. After all, they aren't running Season of Light this year because they supposedly want to keep Happiness running through the entire 70th celebration.

I enjoyed my Boogie Bash experience last year, my first.
Highlight was the Villians Grove and the character treat trail interactions.

The characters were the real standout performances, as was the Grove’s atmospheric lighting and other subtle effects.
But I am a ambiance and lighting nerd..as well as a sound design nerd…so that area was all pure win for me.
Well worth experiencing in person at least once.

Parade was also enjoyable and I appreciated the differences between it and WDW’s ‘Boo to You’ Parade.

Although I did enjoy the experience, I will admit that I also came away feeling it was a one and done.

Part of the ‘problem’ may have simply been the fact that the event was taking place at DCA.
Am I a brat for stating I preferred the Halloween Events being held at Disneyland Park instead…?
Ops probably didn’t like it (logistic nightmare ) and DCA has a bit more elbow room for the treat trails and other related happenings.
But something was ‘missing’….

TBH, next year with so much construction I wonder what OBB will be like. It's a damn shame I missed the DL Halloween party, that seemed like such a cool event.

It was amazing in the 90's. Lightly attended, fog covering all of NOS and the river, interactive ghosts above Golden Horseshoe, Maleficent taking over the castle with her vines, scare actors in Pirates and Haunted Mansion.

I stopped going when the value of the candy I collected no longer exceeded the cost of a ticket (I took a BIG backpack). It was a great way to get treats to give out on Halloween while having lots of fun.

When did it start?

I genuinely had no idea the Halloween event predated ~2009 or so.

It's funny every year my wife and I get FOMO for about 3 seconds when tickets go on sale for OBB and my sister tells us she's going again as she does every year. Then absolutely zero FOMO when the event starts and when my sister sends us pictures from there. I guess thats how you know it's not real. But probably also because I have no interest in celebrating Halloween when its hot in August and September and by the time the weather is right I'm so damn sick of Halloween.

This is the unfortunate (or fortunate depending on your perspective) nature of living in California.

For example its going to be in the 80s on Friday for Halloween in Anaheim.

Haha yeah. Thats not typical though. This year was weird. We had Halloween/ November weather in early October and now for Halloween 80s/90s.

Dunno, seems like its getting to be a habit more often than not over the last decade or two.

I remember when I was a kid it was always cool (50s-60s) by this time, and now it seems like it never is. Its seems like its now permanent indian summer until mid-November.

Within that "Indian Summer" we typically have a warm early to mid October. Sometimes it doesn't cool down until a few days before Halloween. That flipped this year.

They held it in 1995 and 1996.

Dunno, just going back the last 10 years, it ranges between the 70s and 90s on Halloween in Anaheim.

So to me that seems like a trend that is shown a more hotter Halloween than when we were kids.
