SPOTTED: A RARE Event Is Happening NOW at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Forget Valentine’s Day — there’s another holiday that’s happening now in Disney World.

Tower of Terror

Surprise! It’s Villaintine’s Day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. What is Villaintine’s Day, you may ask? Why, it’s a gathering of all the biggest and baddest Disney villains. Come with us to celebrate the occasion!

We’ll be honest. We weren’t sure if our invitation got lost in the mail (we know how you feel, Maleficent!), but Disney never seemed to formally announce Villaintine’s Day 2025, so we weren’t sure if it was happening again this year. Those villains can be sneaky!

Fantasmic!

But surprise! Villaintine’s Day is back again this year. We met Jafar…

…and Cruella de Vil. These meet-and-greets were not advertised on the My Disney Experience app, so it’s more of a pop-up “surprise and delight” situation.

We spotted these characters near the Walt Disney Presents building at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

This isn’t the last you’ll see of the Disney Villains at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, though! There’s a NEW villains show coming soon near Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster called Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After. The show is set to debut this summer and will feature several fan-favorite Disney villains like Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent performing on stage. We can’t wait to see it!
