<p>We currently have all the small print, dates and ticket information for the Oogie Boogie Bash. More information is anticipated to be released as Halloween approaches.</p>
<p>Oogie Boogie Bash 2025 will happen on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, except for Halloween – which falls on a Friday.</p>
<p>Here are the dates for the Oogie Boogie Bash in 2025:</p>
<ul>
<li>August seventeenth, nineteenth, twenty first, twenty fourth, twenty sixth, twenty eighth, thirty first</li>
<li>September 2nd, ninth, eleventh, 14th, sixteenth, 18th, twenty first, twenty third, twenty fifth, twenty eighth, thirtieth</li>
<li>2nd, fifth, seventh, ninth, twelfth, 14th, sixteenth, nineteenth, twenty first, twenty third, twenty sixth, twenty eighth, thirty first Oct</li>
</ul>
<p>The 5-hour after-party starts at 6 p.m., with the mix-in starting three hours earlier.</p>
<p>Disneyland has already confirmed that the Frightfully Fun Parade and Villains Grove haunted experience will return in 2025, together with trick-or-treat trails, meet-and-greet photo ops with Disney characters in Halloween costumes , specialty themed food etc drinks and collectible items.</p>
<p><strong>RELATED: All Disneyland events, parades and fireworks shows in 2025</strong></p>
<p>Disney PhotoPass once more offers unlimited free downloads and every participant receives a memento.</p>
<p>Adults and kids can dress up for the event &#8211; but there are a couple of rules.</p>
<p>Dressing up like a Disney, Pixar, Marvel or Star Wars character is allowed, but you usually are not allowed to pose for photos or sign autographs.</p>
<p>Costumes can&#8217;t be offensive, violent, or offensive (even when that feels like an apt description of Deadpool). Costumes must not drag on the ground (just about any full-length Disney princess dress) or have sharp or pointy details (leave your vibranium spear at home).</p>
<p>Disneyland has not yet announced when tickets will go on sale for the 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash or how much admission will cost for the separate entry event.</p>
<p>Tickets cost $134 to $189 in 2024, with prices increasing as Halloween approaches. Ticket prices increased by $5 to $10 in 2023 but didn&#8217;t increase in 2024.</p>
<p>Disneyland began ticket sales in 2024 within the last week of June, with Inspire Magic Keyholders receiving the primary batch, followed by all Magic Keyholders after which most of the people.</p>
<p>The waiting room for online ticket counters opened at roughly 8:45 a.m., sales began at 9:00 a.m. each day on the earliest.</p>
<p>Ticket buyers waiting in the web queue could possibly be notified via email when it was their turn to buy tickets using the “Notify Me” option.</p>
<p>A limited variety of tickets were available for each Magic Key pre-sales.</p>
<p>You&#39;ll need to keep an eye fixed out in June 2025, when Disneyland is anticipated to announce the on-sale dates for Oogie Boogie Bash.</p>
<p>When tickets finally go on sale, you&#39;ll must act quickly. In recent years, every night of the Oogie Boogie Bash has been sold out <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2023/07/12/disneyland-sells-out-of-oogie-boogie-bash-tickets-in-12-hours-after-nightmare-sales-launch/">days</a> unless <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2024/07/06/disneyland-sells-out-of-oogie-boogie-bash-tickets-in-11-days/">hours</a>.</p>
<p>Magic key holders won&#8217;t receive discounts on Oogie Boogie Bash tickets. Events happen rain or shine and there are not any refunds. Parking just isn&#8217;t included within the ticket price.</p>
<p>If you miss out on tickets, don&#39;t even take into consideration buying them on eBay or StubHub. <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2024/07/18/dont-buy-those-900-oogie-boogie-bash-tickets-on-stubhub-disneyland-is-watching/">Disneyland is watching</a>. Exactly.</p>
<p>Oogie Boogie Bash tickets can&#8217;t be resold or transferred – and Disneyland will retire scaled tickets.</p>
<p>And in case you&#39;re completely happy to be an annual passholder, don&#39;t even take into consideration selling your extra Oogie Boogie Bash tickets on the aftermarket &#8211; because Disneyland will revoke your Magic Key <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2024/04/15/disneyland-annual-passholder-fights-1-year-ban-for-selling-tickets-on-ebay/">ban you from the park</a>.</p>
<p>The Oogie Boogie Bash 2025 after-hours party is separate from Halloween Time at Disneyland and Plaza de la Familia at Disney California Adventure, each of which begin August 22 and hit the parks during All Hallow&#39;s Eve season.</p>
<p>All of the Halloween attraction overlays you already know from past seasons are expected to return, including Haunted Mansion, Guardians of the Galaxy &#8211; Mission: Breakout, Mater&#39;s Junkyard Jamboree and Luigi&#39;s Rollickin&#39; Roadsters.</p>

<div>
<p>SANTA CLARA – The 49ers will play their first preseason game Saturday night on the road against the Tennessee Titans, one month before the beginning of the 2024 regular season.</p>
<p>Here is an outline of an important dates before the opening:</p>
<p><strong>10 August: </strong></p>
<p>The 49ers have their first dress rehearsal against an opposing team. Jordan Mason will likely play near his hometown of Gallatin, Tennessee, with Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell out with injuries. Brock Purdy leads the starting offense within the preseason for the primary time in his profession, due to rehab from an elbow injury last 12 months.</p>
<p><strong>15-16 August:</strong> </p>
<p>This 12 months&#39;s iteration of the trendy tradition of joint workouts pairs the 49ers with the Saints. If Trent Williams doesn&#39;t return from his contract injury, Jaylon Moore can be tasked with keeping former short-term 49ers defensive end Chase Young from sacking Purdy.</p>
<p><strong>18 August:</strong> </p>
<p>The only likelihood for 49ers fans to see the team at a house game before the season begins. Fans of the East Bay Raiders could have the prospect to see Derek Carr, who has long been a subject of debate amongst fans.</p>
<p><strong>23 August:</strong> </p>
<p>The former cross-Bay rivals will face one another within the preseason for the third time in 4 years. Jimmy Garoppolo won&#8217;t be the Raiders&#39; quarterback on this affair after being released within the offseason and signing with the Rams.</p>
<p><strong>27 August:</strong> </p>
<p>The 49ers have tough decisions to make as they prepare for a season crammed with ups and downs. Key questions include the backup quarterback spots, the ultimate variety of linebackers and the cornerback positions in depth.</p>
<p><strong>28 August:</strong> </p>
<p>How lots of the 49ers&#39; preferred practice squad players won&#8217;t be claimed by other teams after roster reduction day?</p>
<aside class="related left"></aside>
<p><strong>September 9: </strong></p>
<p>Are you ready for football (with a touch of drama)? Northern California native Aaron Rodgers, 40, leads the Jets into Levi&#39;s Stadium to open the season for the second straight 12 months on Monday night. In his debut for the Jets last 12 months, he tore his Achilles tendon on the third play of the opening game at MetLife Stadium.</p>

<p>Most Americans don&#39;t know two vital facts about pregnancy, including the date of pregnancy and the length of a trimester — and that might matter as more states implement abortion restrictions. </p>
<p><a href="https://apnews.com/article/florida-abortion-ban-9509a806453e1eab50d118aaecffa2f1">Florida has passed a brand new law</a> on May 1, 2024, which bans abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/05/01/1247990353/florida-6-week-abortion-ban-south">a couple of exceptions</a> – including documented rape, incest and saving the lifetime of the mother.</p>
<p>Florida joins the bulk <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/abortion-laws-roe-v-wade.html">Southern States</a> who now have outright bans or extremely restrictive abortion laws enacted because the Supreme Court overturned <a href="https://www.oyez.org/cases/2021/19-1392">Federal right to abortion</a> in June 2022. Many of the restrictive laws ban abortions after a set variety of weeks. </p>
<p>Anti-abortion rights groups comparable to Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America have called for the six-week abortion ban <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68719492">the gold standard</a> in abortion policy.  Florida Republicans who support the bill have called it a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/florida-abortion-ban-approved-c9c53311a0b2426adc4b8d0b463edad1">reasonable compromise</a> between an entire ban on abortion and few restrictions on abortion. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/09/health/pregnancy-at-six-weeks/index.html">Some gynecologists</a> explained that <a href="https://apnews.com/article/florida-abortion-ban-approved-c9c53311a0b2426adc4b8d0b463edad1">many ladies</a> I don&#39;t even know they&#39;re pregnant <a href="https://www.ansirh.org/research/research/one-three-people-learn-theyre-pregnant-past-six-weeks-gestation">six weeks</a>. <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5269518/">Research shows that girls</a> On average, women discover they&#8217;re pregnant after five and a half weeks.  About 23% don&#39;t know until the seventh week of pregnancy or later. </p>
<p>Do Americans, including those enacting six-week lockdowns, actually understand how pregnancy timing or dating works? </p>

<h2>How does pregnancy work?</h2>
<p>To gain insights into this topic, we developed some pregnancy questions and included them in a research survey at the top of September 2023.  The survey included 1,356 respondents who were broadly representative of the U.S. population.  The average age of the respondents was 46 years.  Approximately 49% of those individuals were men, while 70% were white and 29% were college graduates.  Meanwhile, 43% of them were Democrats and 38% were Republicans.</p>
<p>The first query asked respondents how pregnancies are dated. <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/05/01/1248416546/6-week-abortion-ban-explainer-pregnancy-lmp">The right answer</a> is that pregnancies are dated to the primary day of the lady&#39;s last menstrual period, which is commonly two to 3 weeks before conception.</p>
<p>The second query was about trimesters.  Many Americans are accustomed to the term trimester and <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/235469/trimesters-key-abortion-views.aspx">Surveys consistently show</a> that Americans find first trimester abortion most acceptable.  We asked Americans in the event that they knew roughly what number of weeks a trimester lasts.  The correct answer is 13. </p>
<h2>Americans&#39; Pregnancy Knowledge</h2>
<p>We found that only a 3rd of respondents knew easy methods to term a pregnancy.  A majority &#8211; about 60% &#8211; incorrectly assumed that the pregnancy began at conception or within the weeks because the woman&#39;s last sexual activity.  Less than 1 / 4 of respondents answered each pregnancy knowledge questions appropriately.</p>
<p>In our survey, we also asked respondents whether or not they supported a six-week abortion ban.  Similar to others <a href="https://www.prri.org/research/abortion-attitudes-in-a-post-roe-world-findings-from-the-50-state-2022-american-values-atlas/">national surveys</a>find that almost all Americans oppose strict abortion restrictions &#8211; only 35% support six-week abortion bans. </p>
<p>Importantly, we discover that those that support a six-week abortion ban are significantly less likely than others to appropriately understand the timing of pregnancy.  The statistically significant association between low knowledge concerning the timing of pregnancy and support for a six-week abortion ban also holds true in analyzes that account for potentially confounding variables. </p>
<p>Some anti-abortion lawmakers <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2012/08/20/rep-todd-akin-is-wrong-about-rape-and-pregnancy-but-hes-not-alone/">have shown</a> her <a href="https://www.wosu.org/news/2019-12-12/lawmaker-says-he-didnt-research-ectopic-pregnancy-procedure-before-adding-to-bill">ignorance</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/23/idaho-republican-anti-abortion-swallow-camera">concerning the pregnancy</a> Before. </p>
<p>For example, there&#8217;s a protracted history of some anti-abortion politicians falsely claiming this was the case <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2012/08/20/rep-todd-akin-is-wrong-about-rape-and-pregnancy-but-hes-not-alone/">very rare</a> for a one that is raped to turn into pregnant.  Our survey shows that a big proportion of abortion opponents lack knowledge concerning the basics of pregnancy.</p>

<h2>A gender inequality</h2>
<p>Perhaps unsurprisingly, women on this survey knew more about pregnancy than men.  For example, the query of how pregnancies are terminated was answered appropriately by 43% of ladies, in comparison with only 23% of men.  As noted above, the vast majority of Americans incorrectly consider that pregnancy is dated from conception, but significantly more men than women consider this to be true. </p>
<p>This finding is especially vital when considering the gender breakdown of the Florida state legislature that approved the six-week ban.  Although we don&#39;t have data on these lawmakers&#39; pregnancy knowledge, we all know that those that voted for the ban did so <a href="https://cawp.rutgers.edu/facts/state-state-information/florida">predominantly men</a>.  </p>
<p>Florida&#39;s six-week ban will make it much harder for anyone there to get abortions — and it should impact Floridians, too <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/05/01/upshot/florida-abortion-ban.html">Neighbore states</a> who want or need an abortion.  In 2023, the closest abortion clinic was in Florida <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/05/01/upshot/florida-abortion-ban.html">6.4 million women</a> live within the south.  In 2023 <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/04/01/abortion-florida-supreme-court-ballot/">around 7,700 women</a> from other southern states, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/abortion-laws-roe-v-wade.html">where abortion is now largely banned</a>She traveled to Florida to have abortions.</p>
<p>Overall, our findings raise serious questions on whether Americans without medical training – much like those in our state legislatures – have the knowledge mandatory to control access to abortion.</p>

<p>WASHINGTON (AP) — Bankruptcy dates for Medicare and Social Security have been pushed back as an improving economy contributed to modified projected depletion dates, in response to the Social Security and Medicare Trustees&#39; annual report Monday.</p>
<p>Still, officials warn that policy changes are needed to stop programs from paying full advantages to retiring Americans.</p>
<p>Medicare&#39;s opening date for its hospital insurance trust fund was pushed back five years to 2036 in the newest report, due partly to higher payroll tax revenue and lower-than-expected spending last 12 months.  Medicare is the federal government&#39;s medical insurance program that covers people age 65 and older and folks with serious disabilities or illnesses.  Last 12 months, greater than 66 million people were recorded, most of whom were aged 65 and over.</p>
<p>Once the fund&#39;s reserves are depleted, Medicare would find a way to cover only 89% of the prices of hospital visits, hospice care and nursing home stays or home health care following hospital visits.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Social Security trust funds — which cover retirement and disability recipients — will not find a way to pay full advantages starting in 2035, slightly than 2034, as estimated last 12 months. Social Security would only find a way to pay 83% of advantages to pay.</p>
<p>Social Security Administration Commissioner Martin O&#39;Malley called the report &#8220;kind of good news&#8221; but told The Associated Press that &#8220;Congress still needs to act to prevent what is expected to be a 17% decline without action.&#8221; Cutting people’s Social Security advantages.”</p>
<p>About 71 million people &#8211; including retirees, disabled people and youngsters &#8211; receive Social Security advantages.</p>
<p>For years, lawmakers have passed along the troubling math of Social Security and Medicare to the following generation.  The last reform of Social Security advantages got here about 40 years ago, when the federal government raised the eligibility age for this system from 65 to 67.  The eligibility age for Medicare has never modified, and individuals change into eligible for health coverage after they turn 65.</p>
<p>Congressional Budget Office reports say the largest drivers of debt-to-GDP increases are rising interest costs and spending on Medicare and Social Security.  An aging population is driving these numbers.</p>
<p>The recent report projects that Medicare income might be higher than last 12 months since the variety of covered staff and average wages might be higher.  The report also notes that spending is predicted to fall.  This is primarily as a result of a policy change regarding billing for Medicare Advantage rates in addition to lower-than-expected spending on inpatient hospital and residential health services.</p>
<p>Medicare Advantage plans are a version of the federal health insurer program.</p>
<p>A March 2023 Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll shows that the majority U.S. adults oppose proposals that may cut Medicare or Social Security advantages and that a majority support raising taxes on the nation&#39;s top earners to maintain Medicare running.</p>
<p>The way forward for Social Security and Medicare has change into a top political talking point as each President Joe Biden and former Republican President Donald Trump seek re-election this 12 months.</p>
<p>Biden, a Democrat, has vowed to reject any Republican-led effort to chop Medicare or Social Security advantages to offset the deficit.  He proposes raising taxes on people making $400,000 or more a 12 months to shore up Medicare.  However, he didn&#8217;t submit a social security plan.</p>
<p>In an interview with CNBC in March, Trump suggested he was open to program cuts.  The former president said: “You can do a lot in terms of entitlements and cuts.”</p>
<p>Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works, an advocacy group for the Social Security program, said Monday&#39;s report shows that &#8220;Congress should take action sooner rather than later to ensure that Social Security can continue to pay full benefits for generations to come.&#8221; .”</p>
