Get ready for Disney Villains After Hours! Tickets went on sale April 29 for this wickedly fun event, offered on select nights this summer from June 6 to August 8.
At Magic Kingdom Park, the party DJ gets things started, energizing the castle stage with music and transforming the entire Central Plaza of the park into a "killer" club scene. As the party gets going, you are introduced to your “Caretaker” for the evening, Hades, who arrives in a burst of blue flames for the all-new show, “Villains Unite the Night.”
The show begins with Hades and Meg sitting atop his throne awaiting the alignment of five planets, following a prophecy that states when the five come together he will be able to rule the universe. But an assemblage of Disney Villains interrupts his party, getting in the way of his plans. Jafar, The Queen, Dr. Facilier and Maleficent arrive with henchmen in tow, ready to challenge Hades as the ones who will rule all.
“I think guests will really be impressed with ‘Villains Unite the Night!’” said Kate Pappas, managing producer with Disney Parks Live Entertainment. “This show is going to be more than 20 minutes long and run three times each night of the event, so everyone will have a chance to see all these great Villains on stage. Add in our amazing DJ, and the hub of the park will be pulsing with energy all night long!”
Don't miss the Maleficent Dragon, with her Steampunk style and wicked grin, as she is freed from the “Festival of Fantasy” parade and let loose at night for the first time, breathing fire as she travels through the park to join the party at the Central Plaza.
Along with the show and Maleficient Dragon, ominous lighting and music can be found throughout the park. In Tomorrowland, the Villains invade Space Mountain, taking daring voyagers on a villainous trip they won’t soon forget, with a new music underscore and the Villains taunting you as you whiz by. And over in Adventureland, a live crew of scurvy scalawags invades Pirates of the Caribbean in search of treasure.
Disney Villains After Hours also includes special food and beverage selections, special event merchandise and low wait times at more than 20 attractions and experiences across the park. Be sure to chill out with popcorn, ice cream novelties and select bottled beverages—included in the cost of admission—available at carts stationed throughout the park.
