Previews for New Shows at Disney World Starting Soon

Two new Disney World shows are opening soon, and previews are getting ready to begin. Find out who can preview and when.

Disney Villains Unfairly Ever After

Sunset Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is about to get the most villainous transformation yet. Settled in the shadows of the Tower of Terror, the villains will unite for the newly announced Sunset Showcase. This space will transform to allow guests into the reflective realm of the magic mirror.

This new show will feature appearances by dozens of the most infamous evildoers. Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent will delight guests in live production numbers.

Disney describes this show as “A spellbinding show with moving music and a most memorable finale—where you help decide who has been treated most unfairly.” The “Disney Villains Unfairly Ever After” show will have a running time of 40 minutes, as stated on the Walt Disney World website.

“The Little Mermaid—A Musical Adventure,”

 “The Little Mermaid—A Musical Adventure” will take place in Hollywood Studios where the show “Voyage of the Little Mermaid” was located. This show will feature all-new set pieces, effects, and a new design. In addition, the theater will be refreshed!

“Watch as Ariel follows her dreams to be part of the human world. This little mermaid’s adventure is brimming with familiar moments—like encounters with King Triton and Ursula—and stirring scenes.”

This show’s arrival at Disney World was originally set to open in the fall of 2024 but has been pushed back and will now open on May 27th.
