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.

Once the DescenDANCE crew returns to their realm, the Backlot DJ continues to spin tunes that will make any “villain kid” proud, inviting everyone to step onto the dance floor into the night. Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party is offered on 20 select nights this fall, starting Sept. 17, 2019. Photo: (Disneyland Resort)
