Overview
- Disneyland posted an Instagram teaser on Tuesday, July 14 showing potion bottles and a floating purple feather that multiple outlets say strongly suggests Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove will join Oogie Boogie Bash.
- The park has not issued a full character confirmation or a detailed appearance schedule, so reports identifying Yzma are based on the visual clues in the official tease rather than an explicit announcement.
- Oogie Boogie Bash is scheduled to run on select nights from August 18 through October 31, and ticket demand is high with six party dates reported sold out as of mid‑July.
- Because construction limits the usual parade route at Disney California Adventure, the Frightfully Fun Parade will not run this year and will be replaced by Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake — a Haunted Mansion street party.
- Oogie Boogie Bash frequently features rare or seldom‑seen villains on treat trails, and the likely addition of Yzma highlights how exclusive character appearances help drive fan excitement and fast sellouts for the separately ticketed event.
