Is it just for Halloween or a permanent show?

Is it just for Halloween or a permanent show?

it's currently indefinite (as there is no end date)

I agree 100% but it may have a limited life based on the development of the future Villains-themed land in MK.

If they do keep it around for a long time, I hope they rotate more live-actor villains into the show.

It's a permanent as anything at the moment, as in it is not intended to run for a limited time only at this point. Some do speculate that it may leave when Villains Land comes along, but, then again, they still have attractions with the same theme in different areas. Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin didn't close when Toy Story Land came along. Star Tours is still staunchly outside of Galaxy's Edge, so I don't see how that matters. What may change it is when RNR goes down to become Muppets. They might want to theme that corner al toegether. Of course, they hadn't done that before either, so who knows.

I agree. Saw the show today and thought the live actor villains were great! The beginning of the show was so screen- dependent I was wondering if that’s all it would be. But the villains had lots of personality and were very enjoyable.

After some time villains could be rotated so you never know who you will see or who might win. At Busch Gardens Williamsburg.they have a Halloween show with a pop-song competition between different “monster” performers that is switched up all the time so it increases re- watch ability.

That's what we were thinking. We saw it today and it was cute enough, but if it's just the same 3 villians (same exact show) then it's definitely not something we'll need to do much in the future.

 

[SquashBanana]

So to comfortably get in the show, would arriving 20 minutes before showtime likely get us in?

 

[BrianL]

But couldn't that be said about any show in the parks? Some of them have been running for 30 years with little to no changes.

 

[HopperFan]

Exactly my thought. Indiana Jones not changed in 35 years, Beauty & the Beast has changed theaters but same basic show for 34 years, Festival of Lion King changed theaters but same show for 27 years ............ AND any given ride has been the same for decades. If you don't like things repeated over and over Disney World is the wrong place to go!

Not to mention, when they DO change stuff, people freak out.

Isn't that the truth!

 

[Minnie1222]

To me, a show is like a movie. You are welcome to watch multiple times, but it’s really intended for the person who hasn't seen it. There's no need to refresh or change frequently.

I watch Philharmagic 4 to 5 times a year and I still think it's awesome. Can't wait to see it again in 10 weeks.

What does the villains land in MK have to do with this show?

The parks share a lot of the same characters.

There is something for everyone, and the Villains Show will likely be my Philharmagic. I went to Philharmagic a couple weeks ago (to escape the heat) and it was probably the first time post-COVID. And I likely won't go again for a few years, unless I need to escape heat or rain. That is the beauty of it all, and helps disburse the crowds.

 

[brockash]

True and the others I really like and wouldn't necessarily want changed. For me, this one was different. It was fine and like I said cute enough, but unlike Beauty & Beast, Frozen, Philarmagic, Carousel of Progress etc., it's just not something I'll be making a priority to see I guess. I am sure there are others that will feel this is a top priority for them though.

I will say the waiting area/line alone is something that is enough for me to pass on unless there's no line. No cover, only umbrellas for shade...pretty miserable in the sun. - That is similar to B&B, however we never. line up. for B&B...just get there as they open, which I'm sure will. be doable with Villains after the hype calms down.

Frozen, Muppets, Philarmagic, CoP all have covered waiting/line which makes it much more pleasant.

I have to imagine that would be the case as well. It would make sense to me as a bit of a teaser as to what Villains Land is going to be while it is under development and construction. Then, once it opens up, shut it down, put a Muppets show there, and move Laugh Floor to Monstropolis, paving the way for a newly themed Tomorrowland.

I arrived 10 minutes before and got in. But those arriving a minute or so after me were cut off.

There isn’t much of an orderly entry. The doors open and everyone in the corral makes a beeline for them.

If you are in that corral, you will get a seat.
