Walt Disney World to Host “Villains Unleashed” at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Aug 23, 2014
In 2013, Walt Disney World ran weekly special events under a promotional campaign called Limited Time Magic. An event held on Friday, the 13th of September, “Unleash the Villains,” was quite possibly the most popular of the Limited Time Magic offerings. Over 50 villains will be making a return this year during a new hard-ticketed event with a similar name — Villains Unleashed. This year’s event will take place at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on August 23, 2014, 8pm – 1am.
Tickets are on sale today (June 5th) for Annual Passholders and DVC members by phone only. The general public will have access to purchase tickets starting June 9th, likely by phone and online.
Little has been published on the official Disney sites regarding the event other than this brief explanation found on the Annual Passholder site:
As a DVC member, I called Member Services and was provided with the following information about special entertainment, performances meet & greet opportunities and more.
- “Oogie Boogie’s Variety Show” will take place at Theater of the Stars
- Hades Hangout and Dance Party will be hosted by DJ Ignite and include the Underworld Dancers
- Star Wars Villain Zone will offer chances to meet villains from the Galactic Empire
- Extreme Villain Makeovers with villain-themed face painting options will be available
- Villainy In The Skies Fireworks Spectacular
- Special, themed food, drinks and merchandise will also be available

Given the extreme popularity of the Disney Villains, I would expect this event to sell out pretty quickly, so don’t wait to purchase your tickets if you want to attend! It’s not every day that you get to party with the rarely seen Disney Villains until the thirteenth hour!
If you aren’t planning to attend, but love the Villains, take a look at this short pre-parade of villains from the recent #RockYourDisneySide 24 Hour Party at Magic Kingdom.
Update: Just minutes after I published this article, the Disney Parks Blog posted their official announcement.
