Hey Disney Vacationers! Walt Disney World has officially revealed the upcoming Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After runtime, set to debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the summer of 2025. According to the newly launched webpage, the show will run for 40 minutes, making it one of the longest stage productions at Walt Disney World.
Unhappily Ever After Runtime: What to Expect
Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After will take guests into the Magic Mirror’s world, where Disney’s most infamous villains are locked in a battle for recognition. The show’s official description provides a look at what’s coming:
“Enter the realm of the Magic Mirror—where dozens of villains are trapped! They want the Mirror to reveal the truth: which villain has been treated the most unfairly of them all?
Watch as Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent present their cases on stage, persuading with wicked wisdom and wisecracks. Will you be swayed by their hijinks and humor?
It’s a spellbinding show with moving music and a most memorable finale—where you help decide who has been treated most unfairly.”
With a confirmed 40-minute runtime, the production promises an immersive experience with stage effects, musical numbers, and audience interaction.
