Disneyland Resort is preparing for the annual Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween event in August 2026, with tickets already on sale. While some marquee dates like Halloween night have sold out quickly, other party dates remain available for purchase at prices ranging from $139 to $199 per person. The event will feature a new Madame Leota street party experience replacing the traditional Frightfully Fun Parade due to construction on the upcoming Coco attraction.
Toy Story 5 merchandise and experiences are now available throughout the parks, including themed apparel, food items like Forky cake pops, and a special installation at Pixar Place Hotel. The movie’s release in June has sparked excitement among fans eager to celebrate with new character meet-and-greets and immersive activities.
Behind the scenes, Disney faces ongoing labor negotiations with its performer union that could impact cast benefits including vacation time, parental leave, and 401(k) matching. The opening proposals include significant reductions to current benefits while maintaining wage levels, creating tension as performers fight to preserve their existing compensation packages.
Additional park developments include the nearing completion of Earl of Sandwich and Gordon Ramsay’s Carnaby restaurant in Downtown Disney, along with ongoing construction on Avengers Campus and the new Coco boat ride attraction. The resort also celebrated Father’s Day with a special brunch featuring character interactions at Plaza Inn.
