Event Exclusive Parade
The Frightfully Fun Parade is exclusive to the sold out Oogie Boogie Bash on select nights at Disney California Adventure through October 31, 2023. The parade is a guest favorite and a must see if you are attending the Oogie Boogie Bash. The parade runs twice during each of the Oogie Boogie Bash event nights. The parade times are usually 7:45pm and 10:00pm but check the Disneyland app or your Oogie Boogie Bash guide book for exact parade times.
Before the parade begins, the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow travels down the parade route chasing Ichabod Crane and two other weary travelers. The Headless Horseman carries a pumpkin in hand which adds to his eeriness.
Once the parade begins, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, lead the way along with the Frightfully Fun parade dancers.
Next, characters from ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ arrive to celebrate their favorite time of year. Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, Sally and the Mayor are just a few of the spooky characters that spread their Halloween cheer.
The next segment of the parade is based on the Haunted Mansion attraction. There are ballroom dancers, gravediggers and the famous hitchhiking ghosts.
And to end the parade, several Disney Villains arrive sharing their evil plans for the Halloween season. You may see Hades from Hercules, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmations and many, many more. The Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland rides on the final parade float with his mischievous smile.
