The villains show also joins Disney's prior announcement at its D23 convention in August that the all-new Villains Land would open at Disney World's Magic Kingdom park sometime in the future.
"This land will be home to the villains that you know and those that you loathe, which means happily-ever-after might feel like a distant dream," Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro told the crowd inside the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., just outside Disneyland park. "It will have two major new attractions, dining, shopping, and so much more fiendish fun for you to explore. This is storytelling on a grand scale that only Disney can deliver, so, be prepared, you poor unfortunate souls. It's going to be a fearless new vision for what a Disney experience can be."
