The popular Disney Villains After Hours event will be returning to the Magic Kingdom starting on February 7, 2020 with some new additions!

During the event earlier this year, Maleficent dragon made a journey through the park. This character addition added a special ambiance to the special hard-ticketed event. Because of the popularity of this character sighting, more characters have been added to the procession!

The Villains’ Cursed Caravan will join Maleficent the dragon as she makes her way through the park twice each night of the 24 select nights. The procession will include Gaston, Oogie Boogie, Cruella Devil, Captain Hook, and more.

The Villains After Hours event does not include character greetings with these popular villains.
