Hades is appearing in his own treat trail meet-and-greet during Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure for the first time. Disneyland Resort previously teased that Hades and Dr. Doofenshmirtz would join the Disney Villains lineup at the Halloween event.
Hades at Oogie Boogie Bash
TikTok user @karen_inwonderland shared the following video of the new character meet-and-greet from the Oogie Boogie Bash Cast Member preview on Friday night.
Hades appears as a face character on a stage decorated as his “Hades Hideaway” with a throne and Greek vases. The character has glowing blue hair that actually changes to red when he’s angry. The fake flames of the set also change color.
The “Hercules” villain appears on the Hollywood Land backlot stage, replacing the live-action Cruella de Vil. Mother Gothel is no longer a meet-and-greet character this year but is appearing in the finale of the Frightfully Fun Parade instead of Hades.
Disneyland Resort revealed a first look at Dr. Doofenshmirtz from “Phineas and Ferb” before his debut at the event.
Oogie Boogie Bash takes place on select nights from August 25 through October 31. The separately-ticketed after-hours event sold out in July. Guests can enjoy rare Disney Villains appearances, the Villains Grove in the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, the Frightfully Fun Parade, and more.
