New Haunted Mansion Bar Will Feature NEW Characters
More details were also released about the first ever Haunted Mansion bar. These new details include a look at the portrait gallery, similar to the style the attractions use, in the bar with brand new characters introduced. It is always a big deal in “Haunted Mansion lore” to see new character additions.
Along with this update, Disney has also shared a look at MORE exclusive merchandise coming to the Haunted Mansion Parlor including collectible mugs featuring these new characters.

This new Haunted Mansion Bar will debut on the Disney Treasure later this year.
Disneyland Oogie Boogie Bash Dates 2024
Disneyland has announced more Oogie Boogie Bash dates than ever before! The popularity of Oogie Boogie Bash has absolutely skyrocketed the past few years with tickets selling out fast and many guests being left out of the party experience due to the demand. Well, Disney is hoping to meet that demand by adding more party dates than ever before with Oogie Boogie Bash starting in August for the first time.
Hopefully this will help spread out the demand for Disneyland during Halloween (now one of the busiest times of the year!) so guests can have more opportunities to attend. Like previous years, the party takes place on only three days a week to try to minimize disruption to the parks since California Adventure will close at 6PM on party nights. While we do not know when Oogie Boogie Bash tickets go on sale yet, we now have the full schedule of dates for the party!
👻See all the newly announced Oogie Boogie Bash party dates here!
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Dates 2024
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World is another popular seasonal event. Similar to the event that takes place in Disneyland, this Halloween party offers rare character interactions, trick or treating, party exclusive entertainment like a parade and fireworks!
This year will feature new offerings like character interactions with Bruno and Mirable from Encanto and a brand new DescenDANCE Party inspired by the upcoming Disney+ movie “Descendants: The Rise of Red.”
Walt Disney World has announced all the party event dates plus WHEN these tickets will go on sale!
Disney Halloween Treats Coming Soon

Disney Halloween Merchandise Sneak Peak
Halloween is a great time to be a Haunted Mansion fan! Disney usually pays tribute to this iconic attraction around the Halloween season and this year's Disney Halloween merchandise collection features its own lineup of Haunted Mansion apparel. Pictured above is a sneak peak at some of these new items, I predict that Haunted Mansion quarter zip will sell out fast!
Each year Halloween at Disney gets its own color scheme and theme for most of the merchandise. This year appears to feature bright orange and purples with a classic Mickey cartoon look. This is a bit bright for my tastes but I'll be curious to see how the Loungefly and Minnie Ears look!
We can't wait for Halloween at Disney, stay tuned as we continue to get more information as the dates draw near.
