Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party kicks off on Sunday, August 17, and then continues on select nights through October 31, 2025. When it does, guests will get to see many different Disney villains and other characters. This includes Hades from Hercules, Dr. Doofenschmirtz from Phineas and Ferb, Ernesto de la Cruz from Pixar’s Coco, Oogie Boogie from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and more. Two new characters that are materializing this year are Syndrome from The Incredibles and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. Ahead of the first Oogie Boogie Bash, the Disneyland Resort provided a first look at each of these villainous characters. Along with the first look, details about where they will be found were also shared.
Syndrome
Syndrome will be found on one of 12 Treat Trails at Oogie Boogie Bash. He will be found near the Pixar Pier Band Shell. As guests pass by, they will hear Syndrome’s tactful plans and snarky quips. They will also be able to pick up some treats as they make their way by this Pixar villain. The following video was also shared to show what Syndrome will be like:
Maleficent
Maleficent is returning to the Oogie Boogie Bash this year. However, she will be in a new location. This time, she will be flying over to Mountain Road in Grizzly Peak (behind the queue for Grizzly River Run). As you deal with Maleficent and all the powers of her imagination at this after-hours event, treats will be passed out as guests move past the mistress of evil. Be prepared for a cool rush of pure evil as Maleficent lights up Disney California Adventure with her signature flair during this event. This video was shared, showing what Maleficent will be like at this party:
12 Treat Trails
For each night of Oogie Boogie Bash, there will be 12 Treat Trails for guests to navigate, get treats, and also see some of their favorite villainous characters from The Walt Disney Company. The treats that can be collected include M&M’S, SKITTLES, SNICKERS, and more. Each Treat Trail also has alternative options for guests looking for allergy-friendly and no-sugar-added treats. This is true for all 12 treat trails this year. Along the way, there will also be some villains and legendary misfits to be encountered.
There are also Disney characters that are dressed in Halloween outfits found throughout the night. This includes some incredibly rare appearances by some rare characters, or versions of characters, throughout the park. Oogie Boogie Bash is a fantastic event for people who love to meet and see Disney characters!
