Photos/Video: Yzma from "The Emperor's New Groove" Makes Her Oogie Boogie Bash Debut

Every year, a new take on a classic Disney Villain comes to Oogie Boogie Bash – and this year, it's Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove's turn!

What's Happening:

• It's a tradition at Oogie Boogie Bash for one or two new villains to be brought into the event each year. In some cases, this is a character who might have appeared in Disney Parks before, but many of them are ones who've never been depicted in such a manner prior to the event.
• 2025's new addition was Syndrome, 2024 brought both Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Hades into the mix, while 2023 featured the Oogie Boogie debuts of both Judge Doom and Yokai.
• This year, we're seeing the debut of Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove, who was originally voiced by the iconic Eartha Kitt.

• Known for her elaborate schemes, eccentric personality and questionable potion-making experiments, Yzma brings a particularly mischievous dose of Disney villainy to the after-hours celebration.
• Guests will notice her collections of concoctions and potions.
• And, yes, there's a lever.

• Her addition also gives fans an opportunity to encounter a character who is not typically part of the regular Disney Parks character lineup.
• Fans can meet Yzma, along with the nearby Maleficent, along the Grizzly Peak Trail behind Grizzly River Run.
