The very first Oogie Boogie Bash of 2024 is just weeks away, but it can’t come quick enough. The costumes, the characters, the candy – oh my! It’s one of Disneyland’s most popular events and it sold out in just 11 days this year. But it might’ve been even faster if we’d known about this.
That’s because Disneyland just dropped a teaser trailer on Instagram. In the short clip we first see a clay vase with some ancient looking carvings. Followed by a control station adorned with both a fedora and a lab coat. Check it out:
It’s Hades and Doofenshmirtz, right? We’re all agreed. But that leaves 2 big questions.
Who are they replacing? In previous years when new characters are added to Oogie Boogie Bash, they’re replacing someone who’s already there. Last year we saw Judge Doom in the treat trail that previously hosted Maleficent. There are tons of characters at Oogie Boogie Bash, which is just one of the ways it beats MNSSHP, so it could be anyone. Just venturing to guess, I’d say Hades replaces Madam Mim and Doofenshmirtz takes over Sid’s spot on Pixar Pier.
The Sword in the Stone is an absolute classic, but it’s not very well known anymore. And Sid is honestly terrifying. Last year there were more of us standing outside the line to watch than going through the line to get mocked by him.
Will Perry the Platypus be there? This was my first thought when I saw the teaser. It would make every penny of the ticket price worth it. We know that Perry costume is around because he made an appearance at the Disneyland After Hours
There is so much to do at Oogie Boogie Bash. We can’t wait to see what else is new to this year’s party! Follow along with us on Instagram and YouTube as we venture out to this year’s event!
