If you’re heading to Disney California Adventure for the wildly popular Oogie Boogie Bash, you’ve probably heard about the exclusive Parade Dessert Party.
At $94 per guest, it’s one of the more premium add-ons to the Halloween event—but is it worth the splurge? Let’s break it down.
🍽️ The Treats: Elevated Eats with a Spooky Twist
Forget basic cupcakes and candy corn—this dessert party delivers a surprisingly upscale spread. Guests are treated to:
- Plentiful charcuterie: Think gourmet cheeses, cured meats, and seasonal accompaniments that feel more wine bar than theme park.
- Creative sweet treats: Halloween-themed desserts that are as imaginative as they are indulgent. Expect mousse tombstones, villain-inspired cupcakes, and eerie éclairs.
- Beverage options: Adults 21+ receive an alcoholic drink, while everyone can enjoy unlimited soft drinks, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and a themed mocktail B.
It’s a feast that feels festive and refined—perfect for those who want to elevate their Oogie Boogie Bash experience. I wish I had brought a ziplock bag to bring a few treats along for later, as we couldn't finish ours!
👻 The Perks: Parade Views Without the Elbow Jostling
One of the biggest draws? Reserved seating for the Frightfully Fun Parade. While other guests start staking out curb spots as early as the party kickoff at 6 PM, dessert party attendees can relax in comfortable chairs with a direct view of the parade route.
This means:
- No scrambling for space
- No sitting on the pavement
- No shoulder-to-shoulder crowding
It’s a rare moment of calm in an otherwise high-energy evening.
🕒 The Catch: A Parade That’s Over Before You Know It
Here’s where things get tricky. The Frightfully Fun Parade is visually stunning—with appearances from Jack Skellington, Ursula, and a cavalcade of villains—but it’s short. Depending on your expectations, the brevity might leave you wondering if the dessert party’s price tag is justified.
For guests who prioritize parade viewing and want a stress-free experience with premium snacks, it’s a win. But for others, especially those who don’t mind staking out a spot or who are more focused on Treat Trails and Villains Grove, the value might not add up.
🎭 Final Thoughts
The Oogie Boogie Bash Parade Dessert Party is a luxe way to enjoy the Halloween festivities—ideal for guests who want to indulge, relax, and avoid the parade chaos. But if you’re on the fence, consider how much the parade means to your overall experience. For some, the magic is in the moment. For others, it’s in the mousse.
