Villains caravan being added to Disney Villains After Hours in 2020
A Disney villain cavalcade will debut in 2020 when the Disney Villains After Hours event returns to the Magic Kingdom.
When the event kicked off earlier this year, only the Maleficent dragon, which is normally seen during the afternoon parade, journeyed through the park breathing fire at night.
Now, Gaston, Oogie Boogie, Cruella DeVil, Captain Hook and other villains will join the steampunk dragon in the new Villains’ Cursed Caravan.
This will be the only time during the evening you will see the characters, there are no character greetings during the event, which will take place on 24 select night starting Feb. 7, 2020.
In addition to the caravan:
- Hades and Meg from “Hercules” will set the castle stage ablaze in “Villains Unite the Night,” featuring appearances by Jafar, The Queen, Dr. Facilier and Maleficent.
- Guests can dance the night away as a party DJ spins music on the Cinderella Castle Forecourt stage.
- There will be villain-inspired enhancements at Pirates of the Caribbean and Space Mountain.
- Scattered throughout the park there will be shareable photo opportunities.
- Disney Villains After Hours also includes wickedly good food and beverage selections. A few of the new treats this year are Painting the Roses Red (available at Cheshire Café), a cheesecake mousse with raspberry gelée, red cocoa butter, and buttercream leaves; Body Language (available at Storybook Treats), a cookies and cream mousse with chocolate cake, glaçage, and meringue tentacles garnished with a chocolate shell; and Five Dozen Eggs Slush (available at Gaston’s Tavern). A frozen custard with brown sugar topped with whipped cream and garnished with a cinnamon stick.
- More than 25 attractions and experiences will be open.
- New event merchandise will be available.
