When I was at the new Oogie Boogie Bash at Disneyland last month, I got to meet Maleficent and she was glorious!

I’m usually not one for Disney villains, but I was seriously in awe of her entire demeanor. She made a few snide comments about my outfit that caught me off guard and (cracked me up!)

In that moment, she became my new favorite Disney villain!
