During Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party at Disney California Adventure Park, a new pulsing party will rock the Backlot area of Hollywood Land inspired by the popular “Descendants” franchise from Disney Channel. As the DescenDANCE begins, a spell is cast, summoning the greatest dance crew from the Isle of the Lost to throw down and lead everyone in moves that are set to the biggest hit songs from the “Descendants” movies.
