Disney4me Posted yesterday at 04:53 AM Report Posted yesterday at 04:53 AM We got TONS of exciting updates about the new Villains Land coming to Magic Kingdom during the Disney Experiences showcase at D23! ©Disney During the showcase, President & Chief Creative Officer Bruce Vaughn and Executive Creative Director Caroline May from Walt Disney Imagineering took to the stage to share new details about the highly anticipated Villains Land expansion, including more information on the land’s storyline and characters. It was revealed that while the overarching story of Villains Land is brand new, the characters you find throughout the land may feel familiar since Imagineers are referencing classic characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios as inspiration. Basically, you can look forward to a new adventure with an original take on some iconic baddies! ©Disney The entrance to Villains Land will take a page from classic fairytales, in which the real journey often begins when characters stray from the safe path into a foreboding forest. Upon entering Villains Land, you’ll encounter a Wishing Well with a dark twist. Disney explained the backstory of the Wishing Well: “Once upon a time, someone made an evil wish here – a wish so evil it corrupted the stone and broke open the structure, spreading the Well’s poisoned magic throughout the forest.” ©Disney But of course, the magic of the Well is hard to resist, especially to those with ill intentions, so the villains have come here to try and claim the last of the Wishing Well’s power. Disney said, “Villains Land will be shaped by those who have used this dark magic to conjure the perfect new lairs for themselves. These mighty fortresses and gleaming palaces not only reflect the personality of the villains who own them, they invite guests into a tantalizing treasure trove of treats, trinkets, and more temptations.“ The Dark Forest Model at D23 2026 In addition to the backstory of the new park expansion, Disney also confirmed that Villains Land is the official name of the land. ©Disney We also got more information about BOTH of the park’s headlining attractions. The Imagineering team teased that Maleficent’s Coaster will bring guests face-to-face with the Mistress of All Evil herself, complete with elements they’ve never attempted before on similar attractions. ©Disney Disney also shared an update on the land’s new dark ride, which will feature an array of our favorite Disney Villains, hosted by the Magic Mirror. ©Disney The size and scale of Villains Land has been compared to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, so we can’t wait to explore everything this wicked new world has to offer!
