“.. Just a dream away…”
Carousel of Progress
There are many famous quotes among Disney fans, though few are more beloved than “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow.” The phrase, which comes from the Sherman Brothers song written by the Sherman Brothers for the iconic Carousel of Progress attraction, has become a rallying cry for the optimistic worldview that many see exemplified by the Disney company when they’re at their best.
We’ve emblazoned the legendary lyric on a series of products that make perfect wear for a day at the Magic Kingdom or simply lounging around the house.
There are tee shirts…
… sweatshirts…
… tank tops…
… and even a onesie!
There are also accessory options, like a sipper glass…
… or a coffee cup, to ensure an each morning is the start of a great big beautiful day.
You can even outfit your smartphone with a bright new case if you so choose!
Our NEW merchandise collection will ensure that you truly do have a “Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” shining at the end of every day!

Kids and adults have tons of fun traveling through the Treat Trails around Disney California Adventure and getting all the candy possible and meeting Disney villains while they do it. Here’s where you can find all the treat trails around this year’s event!
At the entrance to each trail, you’ll find a Treat Trail Entrance Marker, OR you can look for them marked on your Oogie Boogie Bash map — they’re marked with a black cauldron!

And these aren’t just any trails — you’ll also be able to spot your favorite Disney villains along each one! This year, there are 12 of treat trails, and you can find the following villains at each one:

While Disney will give you a bag to collect all your candy in, it’s relatively small, so we do recommend bringing a larger bag with you if you REALLY want to take advantage of all the candy!

The most hauntingly fun event is back, from August 25 – October 31, 2024, Oogie Boogie and his Disney Villain friends are back to host Oogie Boogie Bash over at Disney California Adventure!
All nights have already sold out for this event so it is extremely popular, and with all its offerings, we totally get it! This event features Trick-or-Treat Trails where partygoers can encounter Villains along the path, Disney characters roaming the party dressed in their Halloween best, and bash-exclusive treats and entertainment.

The event has a special map where you can check out all the goodies the bash has to offer, and here’s a look at all it includes! Before we dive into this year’s map, if you prefer to use your phone, there are signs up with a QR code that takes you to the event guide digitally.
The event guide is available digitally
The first thing we noticed off the bat is that the map looks different than previous years! Here’s the 2023 version…

…and here’s the 2024 version! It’s folded differently so that it’s easy to slip into your park bag. We like it!

The cover has the year and time of the event along with the Oogie Boogie Bash logo. Park maps are one of our favorite souvenirs, especially because they are FREE! The info on the front makes it a great keepsake to look back on later.
The front
When you unfold the first part of the map, you’ll stumble across some Disney+ and Hulu ads. But the most important part here is the food and novelty section! While Oogie Boogie Bash keeps several restaurants in the park open, there are only a few exclusive items at the event. The list includes:
Let’s open it up, shall we?
The map also points out the Minnie Mouse Hocus Pocus Sipper which is available at locations around the park.
Food options
Unfold it again and you’ve got the full park map! This will be your full guide to the event with a list of villainous treat trails and other entertainment information like Villains Grove and the Frightfully Fun Parade. Don’t forget — the parade is your chance to see the Headless Horseman!
Map
If you look closer, there are cauldrons on the map with numbers that represent the treat trails. There are also several camera icons on the map and that’s where you’ll find PhotoPass opportunities!
A closer look
We are so excited that Oogie Boogie Bash is finally here and can’t wait to see what else is in store!

The post FIRST LOOK at the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash Map at Disneyland! first appeared on the disney food blog.
There are a lot of special events in Disney World.
Hello, Dreamers!
Some of them are more prominent and obvious guests, such as after hours parties like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Others though are quieter, like children having their Make-A-Wish trips and getting to take part in exclusive experiences, or one-day-only parades that celebrate select accomplishments. We just found out one of those special parades is on its way to Magic Kingdom THIS WEEK to celebrate something really amazing!
Have you ever heard a professional athlete state they’re going to Disney World or Disneyland after they win a big championship? Sometimes Disney even has exclusive parades to celebrate the entirety of an athletic team, where park guests can wave hello to them and cheer for their accomplishments.
Anaheim Duck Days
And that’s what’s about to happen again, but for an athletic team that’s MUCH younger than who we normally see. But their accomplishment is no less impressive — the Little League World Series Championship has been around for 77 years, and for the FIRST time ever, the Lake Mary Little League team took home the win this past Sunday!

That’s right! On August 25th, the Lake Mary Little League team beat Taoyuan City, Chinese Taipiei in a 2-1 score with a bunt in the second extra inning, according to The Daytona Beach News-Journal, winning them the championship. And just like their pro-sports heroes, the team will now get to parade down the Magic Kingdom parade route to wave to fans and celebrate their win.
Florida takes it all in comeback, extra-inning fashion

This one-time parade will take place this coming Thursday, August 29th at 1:30PM. If you’re in the parks and find yourself in the area, be sure to stop for a moment and cheer on these young athletes and celebrate their accomplishments with them!
