News Oogie Boogie Bash 2023

[MarvelCharacterNerd]

I'm wondering too. In past years, I got tickets right away on the day of release, including last year. But last year the entire event sold out in a few days, which hadn't happened before (at least not so quickly). So is OBB now a wildly popular and hard to get ticket, or was last year just post-COVID pent up demand?

The former - especially given the great character additions last year. But I think having more dates available will help more people at least get into a party nite, whether or not they get their first choice of dates.

Does anyone know if they shut Haunted Mansion, Guardians or RSR to complete the Halloween overlay in the days leading up to 9/1? And if so how long for? Or is it all completed overnight?

I don't believe RSR does a Halloween overlay anymore.

No clue on Guardians.

Mansion WILL be closed.

OBB tickets went on sale yesterday for passholders, and the passholder allocation was announced as sold out today.

General sales start tomorrow and I believe they will go pretty fast, so act accordingly.

RSR never had a Halloween overlay; only rumored but never followed through. Mater's and Luigi's just do a soundtrack switch so virtually no downtime.

Guardians goes down between 2 and 3pm essentially every day of Halloweentime to do the switchover to Monsters After Dark, but otherwise doesn't close prior to September to prep for that switch (since it happens daily).

If they expect a certain number of users, how hard is it to set things up to handle the volume? Is Disney getting DOS attacks for these kind of ticketed events?

Since everyone knows they can’t handle it they open 12 windows on all their devices making it worse

Well, I got mine. Had my computer on the enter the queue page, waiting, but also had it on my phone and refreshed that pretty often. It eventually took me to a buy page. I don't know how or why that worked but it did.

Do you have tickets or is it pending?

Tickets. Confirmed, Saved and Printed

I managed to get tickets by opening the website again on another tab, original tab says the queue has been paused.

Funnily enough a survey popped up not long after asking for my experience while on their website today…

Disney wants your money but makes it difficult to give it to them. How come it is really easy to buy tickets at every other theme park or sporting/concert event in the world?

There is some very very wrong with this company.

Well ok. Except her.

Are we saying the Oogie Boogie Bash is as popular as Taylor Swift?
Taylor Swift and the Oogie Boogie Bash run the world's global economy.
