"Disney Villains have broken out of the Halloween season and moved into more permanent homes at Disney theme parks, where their poison apples and magic potions promise to turn happily ever after into a nightmare fantastic on a year-round basis. Disney Villains already star in a new Broadway-style show at Disney's Hollywood Studios, a new parade at Hong Kong Disneyland and will soon get their first themed land at the Magic Kingdom."
"Of course, the Frightfully Fun Parade already stars a host of Disney Villains along with floats based on the Nightmare Before Christmas and the Haunted Mansion during DCA's annual Oogie Boogie Bash event. But Oogie Boogie Bash is a seasonal after-hours event with a separate admission. What about a daytime parade at DCA starring Cruella de Vil, Ursula and Gaston?"
"The Uninvited: A Villains Takeover Party runs during the day and just after dusk at Hong Kong Disneyland with show stops along the parade route. The Disney Villains: Into the Frenzy parade ran during Halloween 2024 at Tokyo Disneyland. While the Uninvited and Into the Frenzy parades were tied to Halloween, there's no reason the Disney Villains couldn't draw crowds throughout the rest of the year in Hong Kong, Tokyo or Anaheim."
Disney Villains have moved beyond Halloween into year-round roles across multiple parks, appearing in Broadway-style shows, parades, and an upcoming themed land. Villains already headline entertainment at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Hong Kong Disneyland and had seasonal parades at Tokyo Disneyland. Seasonal offerings like DCA's Oogie Boogie Bash demonstrate Villains' drawing power but are limited by separate admission and after-hours scheduling. Proposed expansions include daytime and nighttime parades at Disney California Adventure and Disneyland's Main Street U.S.A., plus potential permanent Villains presence that could extend operating hours and add major intellectual-property appeal.
