What Not To Miss – As you will see as you approach the gates of Disney California Adventure park, Oogie Boogie from Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” has cast his spell, looming over to bid you welcome.

  • Immersive Treat Trails – Team up with your pals and check out the magnificently mischievous treat trails throughout the park featuring Mars Wrigley confectionery products. These trails lead you straight into the clutches of Disney villains – some familiar – some new, including Sid from “Toy Story,” Cruella from Disney’s “Cruella,” and Agatha Harkness from “WandaVision”!
  • Villains Grove – Perfect for exploring as a group, the transformed Redwood Creek Challenge Trail becomes a dreamlike environment that will enchant at every turn starting at dusk. Inspired by Disney villains – their deeds and misdeeds – this ethereal world of lighting, projections, sounds and special effects will be the spooky background your group selfies are begging for. 
  • “Frightfully Fun Parade” – Get ready to be dazzled as your favorite Disney characters and Disney villains pass by in a parade with a spell-binding beat. Led by the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow arriving on his eerie black steed, this rockin’ gathering of vivacious ghosts and hair-raising haunts is not-to-be-missed.
