Are you ready to get your inner
villain on? The countdown in on for when one month from today, August 23, 50
villains –count them 50, will be invading Disney’s Hollywood Studios as part of the park’s
new, separately ticketed event, “Villains Unleashed.” As reported in the Disney Parks
Blog, while some of the surprises being planned for this one-night-only party
remain hidden under a cloak of mystery, other tantalizing details are beginning
to emerge, and it’s shaping up to be one fiendishly fun evening.
·
Hades Hangout - The party kicks off at 8 p.m.
at the main event stage, where hosts Hades, Megara, Pain and Panic are killing
‘em with comedy. They’re joined throughout the night by the Underworld Dancers,
DJ Igg Nite, live music from Bernie Briquette and Brimstone, and a rogues
gallery of roaming rottens, from the Queen of Hearts and Sheriff of Nottingham
to the Big Bad Wolf and Captain Hook.
·
Villains Dominion – For this one special night, the
Streets of America area of the park will be swarming with baddies. Here, you’ll
have the opportunity to meet favorites like Cruella De Vil, Jafar, Dr. Facilier
and Gaston, along with more rarely seen baddies such as Shan Yu from “Mulan,” Bowler Hat Guy from “Meet the Robinsons,” or Captain Gantu and Dr.
Hämsterviel from “Lilo & Stitch: The Series.” In addition to these
dedicated villain encounters, you may spot even more wandering evildoers in the
area. Look for Judge Claude Frollo, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, Drizella, and
more!
·
The Dark Side – During “Villains Unleashed,”
the area around Star Tours – The Adventures Continue becomes a wretched
hive of scum and villainy, the place to find nefarious bounty hunter Boba Fett,
Sith apprentice Darth Maul, and the ultimate villain – Darth Vader! And that’s
not all! Wandering the area, you’ll stumble upon more malcontents from that
galaxy far, far away: Zam Wessel, Aurra Sing, Asajj Ventress, Jango Fett,
Greedo, Jawas, and others.
·
Villainous Encounters – Visit Stage 4 (where The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow attraction is
seen during the day), and you can “Parlay” with the one and only Hector
Barbossa. And just around the corner in the Animation Courtyard is where you’ll
discover a bit of the Moors, where you can have an audience with the mistress
of all evil, Maleficent!
·
Oogie Boogie’s Freaky Funhouse Show – Over on
Sunset Boulevard, Theater of the Stars presents a production of extreme
performances, hosted by the original master of scare-monies, Oogie Boogie. It’s
an all-new show that’s sure to thrill!
·
Fantasmic! – Strolling up
Sunset Boulevard, a gang of villainous henchmen, known as the Night Crawlers,
tempt you to join them for a special pre-show to the evening’s performance of
Fantasmic!, itself a celebration of the power and intrigue of some of the
greatest Disney villains.
·
“Villainy in the Sky” Fireworks – Ultimately,
Hades summons Maleficent to the main event stage to close things out with a
devilishly dazzling display of pyrotechnics!
·
And the fun doesn’t
end there!
