Entertainment confirmed for 2026: Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake

Disney replaced the Frightfully Fun Parade with Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake – A Haunted Mansion Street Party. That change is confirmed on Disneyland.com and in Disney’s 2026 Halloween press materials. It is not “uncertain parade language” anymore.

Expect Haunted Mansion-inspired street-party moments, dancing ghosts, and Madame Leota hosting the wake. Showtimes live in the Disneyland app event guide on your party night. An optional Oogie Boogie Bash Dessert Party adds preferred viewing plus desserts/beverages. Dessert Party is sold separately and requires a valid Bash ticket. Check current dessert pricing and inventory on Disneyland.com or the app. We are not inventing a fixed dessert dollar figure here if your checkout differs.

Villains Grove inside Redwood Creek Challenge Trail remains part of the party footprint on the official page. Headless Horseman / Ichabod moments have been part of Disney’s 2026 marketing. Confirm timing in the app.

Treat trails and characters as of September 2026

Treat trails are still the candy + villain core of the night. Disney and on-site season coverage for 2026 confirm Yzma (The Emperor’s New Groove) as the new Grizzly Peak trail villain. Other villain hosts reported for 2026 include Oogie Boogie, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, Hades, Judge Doom, Ernesto de la Cruz, Agatha Harkness, Syndrome, and Maleficent. Exact trail doors and candy stock shift night to night. Use the paper/digital event guide you get with your wristband.

Character meets Disney has highlighted for 2026 include the Sanderson Sisters look (Minnie, Daisy, Clarabelle), Kingdom Hearts Mickey/Donald/Goofy, Megara with Pain and Panic, select Toy Story characters, Edna Mode and Mr. Incredible, plus Marvel greets such as Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Scarlet Witch. Sanderson Sisters remain the longest historical wait. Arrive early or skip.

How 2026 tickets worked

  • The 2026 sale ran in June: Inspire Key June 16, all Keys June 17, general public June 18
  • Buy only on Disneyland.com. Tickets are non-transferable for commercial resale and linked to your account
  • If a date looks sold out, keep checking. Cancellations and small releases sometimes reappear
  • Do not buy from scalpers. Denied entry risk is real
  • Event ticket alone covers DCA from 3:00 PM. Separate daytime ticket only if you want in before 3:00 PM

Night-of tips (for your next Bash)

  • Enter at 3:00 PM. Ride Racers / Guardians overlays / Incredicoaster before 6:00 PM crowds peak
  • Eat during mix-in. Quick service stacks after 6:00 PM
  • Start popular treat trails at 6:00 PM, not 8:30 PM
  • Lightning Lane is unavailable. Standby is the product
  • Adults may costume under Disney’s event costume rules. Read the official costume guidelines before you pack a mask
  • Phone battery + portable charger. The app owns showtimes

What to expect for next year’s Bash

Disney has not announced dates, prices or an on-sale date for the next Oogie Boogie Bash. Until it does, the 2026 season is the best guide to how the party works:

  • Timing: the 2026 party started in mid-August (Aug 18), ran on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays plus Halloween night, and ended Oct 31.
  • Sale: tickets went on sale in mid-June (Inspire Key, then all Magic Keys, then the general public), and Disney’s official page showed the season sold out.
  • Prices: nights rose from $139 in August to $189–$199 at the end of October, so earlier dates cost less.
  • Plan B: if you can’t get a ticket, Halloween Time is included with park admission and covers Haunted Mansion Holiday, Radiator Screams and the Halloween décor.
  • Watch Disney’s official Oogie Boogie Bash page and the Disneyland app for the next announcement rather than fan-site date lists.
