We’re here at the very first Oogie Boogie Bash of the Halloween season at Disney California Adventure, and you can bet we’re making it our mission to do everything!

This might be the best day of our lives

One of our favorite parts of this seasonal event is that we get to meet so many rare Disney characters. Though there’s a big difference between the meet-and-greets at this event and those at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom — there are TONS of villains to meet at Oogie Boogie Bash, and now, a new one has arrived!

When you travel on the different treat trails around the park to collect your candy, you’ll often see at least one of your favorite villains along the way. This year, there’s a new villain at Grizzly Peak you won’t want to miss. That’s right — Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove has arrived!

Yzma is here!

What a treat to see such a rare character! After showing off her potions, she lamented about pulling the wrong lever. IYKYK!

Don’t want to drink that!

Yzma shares a treat trail with Maleficent this year, but you can also see Agatha Harkness, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, Hades, Judge Doom, Syndrome, Ernesto de la Cruz, and Oogie Boogie.

Now, if you want to see tons of villain decor in one place, or just really get into the spooky vibe, we recommend heading over to Villains Grove, located at Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. Here, you’ll be able to experience:

• Frollo’s Sanctuary
• Maleficent’s Will
• Queen of Hearts Garden
• Scar’s Elephant Graveyard
• Dr. Facilier’s Friends on the Other Side
• The Wicked Queen’s Lightning Forest
• Home of the Wisps
• Dawn

Villains Grove

Meeting the different villains is part of what makes Oogie Boogie Bash so unique, so we definitely recommend adding it to the top of your list. This year, Oogie Boogie Bash takes place on select nights from August 18th through October 31st, and prices range from $139 to $199.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the Oogie Boogie Bash news as we go throughout tonight, so stay tuned to DFB!

Disney also shared that select characters from Haunted Mansion will begin to materialize, as “swirling ballroom dancers, ominous gravediggers, and a trio of hitchhiking ghosts get ready for a swinging wake with silly spooks and ghoulish delight.” Where will you see them? Well, they’re part of the brand-new Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake – A Haunted Mansion Street Party.
