Full Video of the 2024 Frightfully Fun Parade at Oogie Boogie Bash

The Frightfully Fun Parade has returned to Disney California Adventure for the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash.

Oogie Boogie Bash is a separately ticketed event during the Halloween season. It takes place on select nights from August 25 – October 31, and this year’s event is fully sold out.

The Headless Horseman Rides Again

Much like Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom, the Frightfully Fun Parade kicks off with a visit from the Headless Horseman.

Parade with performers in period costumes walks through a theme park at dusk, with spectators seated on both sides of the pathway lined with palm trees and colorful lights, evoking the spirit of the 2024 Frightfully Fun Parade.

Villagers dressed like those in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” from where the Headless Horseman (or at least this iteration) heralds, came to warn of the approaching phantom rider.

A person in a brown cloak with a pumpkin head rides a black horse during the 2024 Frightfully Fun Parade at an amusement park's Oogie Boogie Bash, with brightly lit attractions and a crowd in the background.

His horse is as black as the night, and the rider is clad in his traditional jacket and purple cape.

The only change this year is here. Previously, Hades appeared in the parade, and Mother Gothel was on the Treat Trail. Now, Hades can be found on the trail, and Mother Gothel is on a float.

It Is Officially the FIRST Night of Disney’s SOLD-OUT Oogie Boogie Bash!

When the lights go dim and the infamous Disney villains come out of their lairs, you know it’s going to be a GOOD time. We’re talking dance parties, trick-or-treat trails, rare character meet-and-greets, and even an exclusive parade! What more could you ask for on a spooky fall night at Disney California Adventure?!

Disney California Adventure during Oogie Boogie Bash

There’s a reason Disney’s Oogie Boogie Bash is one of the most popular events of the year! This special after-hours event often sells out months in advance, and with so much to see and do, you’re in for a busy night of tricks and treats! So, want to see what’s available at a sold-out party in Disneyland? Come along with us, and let’s have some FUN!

Click here to subscribe

Oogie Boogie Bash is a separately ticketed event at Disney California Adventure. During the party, the park is totally transformed with all kinds of fun, spooky details! The event is five hours long, and there’s a LOT to do to keep you busy throughout the night. We especially love the exclusive Halloween-themed entertainment, immersive treat trails, and Halloween-themed attractions.

Villains Grove at Oogie Boogie Bash

The event runs on select nights in August, September, and October, but, as we said, tickets are completely sold out at this time. If you were lucky enough to snag a ticket, make sure you’re in the park by 6PM. That’s when the event officially begins and runs until 11PM. That said, your event ticket will get you into Disney California Adventure Park as early as 3PM, so get there early if you want a head start! Remember that the Oogie Boogie-exclusive offerings won’t come out until 6PM.

Let’s DO this!

Oh, and here’s another important note. Lightning Lane Multi Pass is NOT available during the event, so just hop in the standby line if you’re interested in those California Adventure rides. We recommend visiting Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree if you’re looking for a spooky Halloween attraction to visit during the event.

Halloween in Cars Land

When you first arrive, make sure to pick up an event guide. This thing is SUPER important! It will tell you where to find all the rare characters, treat trails, limited-time treats, and more. Make sure to seek out some PhotoPass Cast Members during the event, too! Your party ticket gets you unlimited downloads of Disney PhotoPass photos taken during the event.

Make sure to take lots of photos!

One of the best parts of the event is the Immersive Treat Trails. Here, you can trick-or-treat all around the park, enjoying some classic snack-size candy like Skittles, M&M’s, and Snickers. Yum, yum, and YUM! What really makes these treat trails special, though, are the VILLAINS! That’s right. You’ll find rare Disney villains, like Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, lurking around the trails.

You can even see Hades in Hades Hideaway at Hollywood Land this year! He’s a brand-new Villain at Oogie Boogie Bash, and he looks marvelous. You’ll want to keep a close eye on him for his amazing hair trick.

Up next, it’s time for the Frightfully Fun Parade! This is an exclusive cavalcade starring Mickey, Minnie, and some of your favorite Disney villains! This isn’t quite as long as the Boo-to-You parade in Disney World, but it’s a great bite-sized parade that you should check out during the event! Check your event guide for the schedule, and get there early for a good viewing location.

Frightfully Fun Parade

It wouldn’t be the Oogie Boogie Bash without a visit through Villains Grove! The Redwood Creek Challenge Trail comes ALIVE during the event — this walkthrough experience is filled with special lightning and Disney Villain details.

Painting the Roses Red

Time for a snack! Disney has all kinds of spooky snacks this year, like the Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Strips and the Orange Chicken Strips at Flo’s V8 Cafe.

Cars Land

Happy Halloween! As you can see, there’s a lot to do at this year’s event, and we love to check out all the special characters and Disney Villains. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.

Dan Povenmire Met Dr. Doofenshmirtz at Oogie Boogie Bash (And So Did We!)

At Oogie Boogie Bash, a separately ticketed Halloween event at Disney California Adventure, “Phineas & Ferb” creator Dan Povenmire got to meet Dr. Doofenshmirtz — and so did we!

Dr. Doofenshmirtz at Oogie Boogie Bash

Three staff members, one looking reminiscent of a character from Dan Povenmire's creations, are managing a large cauldron filled with colorful items outside a building. One employee is dressed in a green apron, while the others are in uniform. Pedestrians pass by in the background.

Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, self-proclaimed greatest villain in the Tri-State Area, greets guests from the stage inside the Disney Theater, located in Hollywood Land. His “lab” is a treat trail stop.

A person, presumably a scientist, is operating a control panel on a stage set with futuristic decor. Dr. Doofenshmirtz observes from the side as three individuals in uniform, including Dan Povenmire, stand nearby—two engaged in conversation—while blue lighting illuminates the scene.

His set is an amalgam of cartoon background and “-inator” props. He serves as the main antagonist of “Phineas & Ferb,” facing off against Agent P. (a.k.a. Perry the Platypus). Their conflicts are often the cause for the erasure of Phineas and Ferb’s antics, just in time for Candace to fail to prove them to their mom.

A colorful cartoon depiction of a futuristic control room with various gadgets, screens, and a tube with a brain inside it, all under purple lighting—a scene straight out of Dr. Doofenshmirtz's quirky inventions created by Dan Povenmire.

Animated elements are around the stage to enhance the set.

Doofenshmirtz is dressed in his iconic style: green pants, a black turtleneck, and a white lab coat.

His exaggerated features are done in a more realistic fashion.

A person dressed as Dr. Doofenshmirtz stands on a stage with laboratory equipment, set against a backdrop of a futuristic cityscape, channeling the quirky genius reminiscent of Dan Povenmire's beloved character.
A futuristic computer and technological setup is displayed with neon lighting, featuring screens, consoles, and various machinery reminiscent of Dr. Doofenshmirtz's high-tech lair from a Dan Povenmire animation.

Agent P appears as a silhouette on one of his monitors.

Dan Povenmire Meets Dr. Doofenshmirtz

Povenmire, in addition to co-creating “Phineas & Ferb” with Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, is the voice for Doofenshmirtz. In a video posted to his X account, he and the on-stage Doofenshmirtz unite and declare their intent to conquer the entire Tri-State area.

Povenmire is also a Disney Parks fan. He’s posted before about Rise of the Resistance (both an encounter with a Cast Member and an occasion where he called Imagineer Scott Trowbridge to complain when the ride broke down). He also has the Doofenshmirtz figure from Agent P.’s World Showcase Adventure, a retired attraction from EPCOT at Walt Disney World in Florida.

A renewal of “Phineas & Ferb” has been ordered by Disney.

You can also see Dr. Doofenshmirtz in action at Oogie Boogie Bash in our video below.
