It is officially Halloween Time in Disneyland!
We’ve made our way around the FIRST Oogie Boogie Bash of 2022, checked out the merchandise, enjoyed spooky food, and more! But does anything say Halloween more than Disney villains? Disney teased some NEW villains that would appear at the party this year, so join us now to meet the new baddies at this year’s event!
This year’s party brings out some classic villains, as well as some fun Marvel villains. But we’re here to meet the new baddies, and we were not disappointed!
First up, at one of the treat trails this year you can meet THE Ernesto de la Cruz from Coco!
Ernesto appeared in skeleton form and was performing songs, talking, and overall just being INCREDIBLE.

Also NEW to the party this year is Mother Gotel from Tangled. She’s located at another treat trail and was surrounded by lots of flowers that look somewhat similar to the ones from the movie. Looks like she could be staying young for a while!
She was also giving out friendly reminders that “mother knows best.” You’ll probably want to follow her instructions if you come to visit! 😂

How awesome are these looks?! You can spot these friends in their Sanderson Sisters costumes on Disney Cruise Line this year as well.
THERE THEY ARE! 🧡💜💛 Minnie, Daisy, and Clarabelle are channeling three of our favorite witches, and conjuring up a bunch of hocus pocus! #oogieboogiebash pic.twitter.com/zyt97qiREW

But those aren’t the only characters you can meet during the party! New to the festivities is Bruno from Encanto, and there are other characters to spot around the park too.
If you don’t already have tickets for Oogie Boogie Bash, though, you’re unfortunately out of luck — the parties sold out quickly this year. There are still a ton of other fun things you can do in Disneyland during Halloween Time though, like ride Haunted Mansion Holiday, enjoy all the spooktacular decorations in both parks, and eat spooky snacks.
