Less or none at all - villians in the parks?

[micknpluto]

Is it true? Ive heard it before, they dont like to put villians out too many parents complain of children being afraid. Recently someone told me (his sister just came back) and someone at WDW said they pulled all villians will only make apperances during MNSSHP.. I hope this is not true theyre my favorite!

 

[Oglet]

It is pretty much true.

The vinalmation villains set is actually one of the most popular sets Disney sells according to the website.

I hope not. The villians are as much a part of Disney as the heroes.

I hope not. The villians are as much a part of Disney as the heroes.

I agree.

 

[micknpluto]

I hope its not true. They should have a designated area just for them. "Frightened children - enter at your own risk"

The only villians I've met have been at DHS...as far as I can remember, I've never seen any villians anywhere else in the parks (although I think I saw Hook once near POTC)

I've met The Evil Queen, The Queen of Hearts, and seen Hook and I believe Jafar over at the Animation Building at DHS. They have that thing where a ton of characters come out to take pictures and as far as I know those are the only regular-like villans.

I will be sooo sad if this is true. The only time I have ever seen them is in the MNSSHP -- and they were so darn popular I couldn't even get over into a line to meet any of them. I happen to be a "villians" fan -- all my pins that I collect are of villains. I sure hope we will see more wandering about the parks someday. Still have yet to meet the Evil Queen -- she's kinda my hero

Just came back and ran in to the Evil Queen in Epcot just inside the Boardwalk entrance. Also saw Brer Bear and Brer Fox in Camp Minnie Mickey. Didn't see any others but was there for the pin event and spent a fair portion of my time there.

me too i love her! and agree theyre like celebrities at MNSSHP.. we wait in line for autographs and pictures... long lines. it sucks have to spend so much time on line. but its worth seeing them. They need to be out more often!

I've met Jafar, The Queen of Hearts, and Captain Hook at Disney World. I know Cruella is at Disneyland at least...

Jafar was hilarious. He didn't know where the meet and greet was supposed to take place and kept walking around the Adventureland Bazaar, all his fans following him. He was supposed to be with Genie, but Genie decided to run off on his own.

I really hope that's not true and they continue to have meet and greets with villains. I would like to see more of them. I like the sign of warning idea. No one SHOULD complain after that... but some people still can't read.
