Vill-iens are on their way

Now Serving...Villains?

Make room in your autograph books, grab a mysterious cloak and put on your best scowl, cause Villains Land is coming to Disney World! 

Tucked behind Big Thunder Mountain, with the ambiance of Haunted Mansion and the French Quarter, park visitors will have the delight of meeting their favorite evil queen, fairy or Step-Mother.

Rather than scary, Disney says they plan to make this new land more spooky and gothic. If that's the case, then I look forward to seeing some gargoyles sporting mouse ears.

Save room on your dining card for a meal in an upcoming sit-down restaurant- think Beauty and the Beast's “Be Our Guest,” maybe even enjoy a signature themed cocktail. 

Though the details are few, the speculation is plenty from fans across the realm. I know quite a few villain enthusiasts who will be chomping at the bit for this new expansion. ​

Fun Fact!

According to Statista.com Cinderella is considered the most popular princess at Disneyland. 

next stop, Pandora!

On the other side of Downtown, humans will get to experience what life is like on Pandora at the upcoming Avatar Land. More details were dropped at the D23 last month, letting us in on some of the plans. What we know so far:

Where: Hollywood's existing backlot and possibly where Monsters Inc.: Mike and Sully to the Rescue attraction, which is slated to close in 2026, about the same time that construction is said to begin.
​
When: Coming in late 2028-Early 2029. Again, this timeframe is mostly speculation.
​

Rides: Still too early to know much of anything at the moment, but word from Josh D'Amaro, Disney Experiences CEO, during an investors call, is that we can expect at least one major attraction, a water cruise through the bioluminescent rainforest. Honestly, I'm hoping it has all the vibes as Pirates and the Carribean. ​
