You’ll NEVER Guess Who We Ran Into at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Today

Forget Valentine’s Day, there’s only one holiday we’re celebrating in Disney World…

Mickey and Minnie!

…Villaintine’s Day! That’s right, the baddies have come out to play and we’re checking out all the rare Disney Villain character meet and greets (and a FREE souvenir!) around Disney’s Hollywood Studios right now. February 13th is officially Villaintine’s Day in Disney World, so come with us to check it out!

Happy Villaintine’s Day from Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where later this summer a NEW Villains-themed show will debut! Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After will revolve around the premise that the Magic Mirror has summoned some of Disney’s most wicked characters to break through the glass and tell us why we’ve misunderstood them all along. And, ahead of Valentine’s Day, some of those villains are out and about at Hollywood Studios! We caught up with Jafar, looking as incredulous as ever.

And we also got to chat with the fabulous Cruella de Vil (who promised us she hadn’t harmed an animal in like, twelve hours). We did have to wait a bit to meet these characters since they do not often meet with folks, but the wait was totally worth it — and not just because of the characters!

Nope, when you meet these villains for Villaintine’s Day, you get to take home a Valentine — er, Villaintine! We got one signed by Cruella…

…and one signed by Jafar as well! Cast Members nearby said that these two, along with Maleficent, will be out and about for a bit longer on February 13th, but after that — POOF! They’ll go back to practicing for that new show of theirs coming soon. ?

In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for the latest updates about the new Villains land coming to Magic Kingdom and more news from Disney World. Stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog so you don’t miss out on any announcements!
