It’s Really True – Villains Land Coming to Disney’s Magic Kingdom!
Once upon a nightmare… A place where poison apples are aplenty and magic potions can ruin your whole day. For all those things hiding in the shadows, it’s time to join them as we lift the veil on a forthcoming Villains Land at Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World Resort.
As Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro announced during Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, this new land will be home to the Disney Villains we know and loathe from our favorite Walt Disney Animation Studios classic films — “Which means happily ever after may feel like just a distant dream.”
The evil ambition of all these Villains means that the possibilities are endless for the stories that can be told — and visitors to the dark and thorny land should be prepared for whatever chaos might come their way.
The new land will encompass all your dreams- er, nightmares. The space will be home to two major attractions, dining, and shopping on an incredibly twisted grand scale. “Be prepared, you poor unfortunate souls,” Josh teased. “It’s going to be a fearless new vision for what a Disney experience can be.”
You might have just felt a shiver run down your spine. That’s because preparation is already underway at Magic Kingdom for this new land. Maybe think twice before you indulge in that next shiny red apple…

Of all of the announcements – and there were some pretty cool things (Monsters, Cars, Parade) – this one is what I’m looking forward to the most. I saw what imagineers could do with a concept like Avatar – and I think they’ll really sink their teeth into this.
This is by far my favorite announcement! Villains need love too!
Just a quick thought…With this and “Cars-land" being in areas that can be worked on without affecting ‘day-to-day’ flow of visitor traffic, could they, perhaps, get this done ‘on time?’ True that there will need to be some disruption of the Walt Disney Railroad, but other than that it should be reasonable.Is there a possibility for a new ‘station’ on the railway to service the two new ‘lands?’ Transitional ‘walkways’ from both Big Thunder and Cars-land to Villians Land?Lots to think about with these announcements.
