Photos/Video: Madame Leota's Swinging Wake – A Haunted Mansion Street Party Debuts During Oogie Boogie Bash

As Oogie Boogie Bash kicks off for the season, it brings with it a brand-new, yet familiar entertainment offering.

Tonight, Disney California Adventure hosted the first Oogie Boogie Bash event of this Halloween season, which saw the debut of an all-new Haunted Mansion street party.

What's Happening:

  • Arriving this year as a new offering, the frights of Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion are stretching across the esplanade for Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake – A Haunted Mansion Street Party.
  • The new street party replaces the Frightfully Fun Parade, which can't be performed due to construction on the new Coco attraction in Pixar Pier.
  • The new experience places the iconic Madame Leota at the center of the festivities as she hosts a spirited séance and swinging wake filled with ghostly surprises, eerie entertainment, and appearances from the attraction’s famous happy haunts.
  • Featured are four floats themed to the iconic Haunted Mansion, featuring plenty of characters from the attraction – such as the Bride, Sally Slater, and the Hitchhiking Ghosts.

  • Dancers' costumes are inspired by iconic elements from the attraction, from the ballroom to the cast member costumes.

  • And yes, the shovel-wielding Gravediggers are still present!

  • Check out the full street party for yourself in the video below.

  • Oogie Boogie Bash runs select nights from August 18th through October 31st. You can find ticket information on the official Disneyland website
