This fall your favorite baddies will unite for more spooktacular fun at the all-new Oogie Boogie Bash! Disney has announced a new “Villainous” World of Color show coming exclusively just for the bash at Disney Califonia Adventure Park.

The new World of Color story tells the twisted tale of a young girl (and all-new character) named Shelley Marie. In “Villainous!,” Shelley has a decision to make about her Halloween costume for this year, and finds herself wondering if she could really be as strong and unique as some of her favorite Disney villains, including The Queen, Ursula, Dr Facilier, Hades, Jafar and Maleficent. This twisted tale carries Shelley on an unforgettable journey through fountains, lights, lasers, projections and special effects. “Villainous!” shows guests that, deep down, there’s a little villain in all of us.

In addition to the Villainous! show there will be other fun that will include kids of all ages!  The Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is transformed into a wondrous and ethereal world of Disney villains unlike anything seen before, full of tricks and maybe some treats. This dreamlike environment will be complete with lighting, projections, sounds and special effects.

Just like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party had been in the past, there will be immersive treat trails for you to explore throughout the park. You may find yourselves face-to-face with the Mad Hatter from Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland,” or even Oogie Boogie himself! Additional treat trails will feature oversized cauldrons full of treats for all guests to enjoy.

For those who like to party the new “DescenDANCE Party” in the Backlot area of Hollywood Landin a whole new event inspired by the popular “Descendants.” 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 all three “Descendants” movies. The original “Villain Kids” might even crash the party through magic mirrors. Stick around after as the Backlot DJ continues to spin tunes, inviting everyone to step onto the dance floor into the night. Be sure to catch “Descendants 3” this August on Disney Channel.

Lastly, it wouldn’t be a Halloween bash without dressing up! Everyone is encouraged to dress in costume for the occasion. Oogie Boogie Bash is only offered on 20 select nights this fall, starting Sept. 17.

The FOMOsa is the Newest IG Sensation at Magic Kingdom

There is a new Instagram sensation at Magic Kingdom featuring one of the most photographed Disney treats, Dole Whip!  Now you can feel fancy and get a perfect Instagram shot with the FROMOsa at Sunshine Tree Terrace in Adventureland in Magic Kingdom.  Instagram is filling up with selfies and tropical photo shoots with the new drink/ice cream combo.

Made of sparkling apple cider and orange Dole Whip inside a plastic champagne flute, the new drink makes for a great photo op! There are only a couple of issues. #1 the Florida heat is so bad that it melts in seconds and gets all over your hands(better snap those pics quick).. #2 It’s not really a “drink” and makes for a really difficult and somewhat awkward experience while you try to eat it.

It doesn’t seem to stop anyone from buying it! Check out some of these trending photos of the drink/treat on Instagram below.
