This summer, Disney Villains After Hours will take on a wickedly fun villains theme, with exclusive entertainment, food & beverage, merchandise and more.

Here’s a taste of what new elements to expect:

• A Brand-New Disney Villains Stage Show – Hades and Meg from “Hercules” will set the castle stage ablaze in this all-new stage show, Villains Unite the Night, which will also feature appearances by Jafar, The Queen, Dr. Facilier and Maleficent.
• Spot Maleficent the Dragon – Maleficent the Dragon, with her Steampunk style and signature wicked grin, will be let loose for the first time at night – breathing fire as she creeps through the park as a one-of-a-kind experience for party guests.
• Villanous Enhancements: Discover surprising, villain-inspired additions at Pirates of the Caribbean and Space Mountain.
• Wickedly Good Food & Beverage -A variety of special food & beverage offerings will also be available for purchase, including tasty desserts, drinks and dishes inspired by The Queen, Cruella de Vil, Maleficent, Hades, Dr. Facilier and even Emperor Zurg.
• Event Merchandise – Event attendees can also purchase new logo merchandise, as well as items from a curated collection of the best Disney Villains merchandise available.
• One Notorious Item to Note: Ever driven to stand out in their unpredictable and audacious fashion, while the Villains will be entertaining guests in the new stage show, they will not be participating in character greetings during the event.

If you really wanna get in on the action, feel free to show off your sinister side by dressing in attire inspired by your favorite baddie.

Oh, so it is official! Awesome!

With the addition of the new Villains offerings, if these DAH nights weren't already sold out, each night will for sure sell out. The Villains have a HUGE draw**

**Just reread the article, very interesting that the Villains will NOT be participating in meet and greets during the event. Maybe Disney has learned from past upcharge Villain-driven events?

I'm hoping it's more than once a week. If it's on Thursdays I doubt we'll catch it.

Wonder if the free snacks are going away with the addition of special snacks to purchase?

Here’s the voice of the loyal opposition: I’m bummed, because I think it’s the end of the event as we’ve known it. The reason the crowds have stayed low is because there’s nothing else there — the entire point of the event is bare bones. Even though the cap had probably gone up, Disney knew it needed to be a VERY low cap. Adding hard to find characters, probably a parade and special merchandise, whatever, allows them to say there’s a lot more to the event than low crowds, and therefore allow for more people. And because of those unique beyond-the-rides things, more people will find it attractive and want to go. The 5 or 10k cap will turn into 25 or 30. Sometimes more because there will be plenty of demand.

In other words, just another party.

But they’ve got a bunch of parties already. DAH was something different — a chance for low crowds and as laid- back a feeling as you ever get there. This move — as cool as it sounds — won’t have that. Which is too bad, because it was fun while it lasted.

The one thing that looks disappointing is them refusing snacks from mnsshp instead of creating all new snacks. They have the poison apple cupcake and hades nachos which were snacks for the party last year

 

[MKTokyo]

Ugggh I really want to do this. Technically, we could do 6/6 if we add on a few nights

Ice Cream, Popcorn & Select Beverages Included
In addition to the themed snacks available for purchase, you can satisfy those late-night cravings with ice-cream novelties, popcorn and select bottled beverages—included in the cost of admission. These sinfully delicious snacks will be available at carts stationed throughout the park.
