Two New Stage Shows Debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Two new stage shows will premiere at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” and “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” will bring beloved stories, dazzling effects, and immersive entertainment for guests of all ages

“Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After”
Deep in the shadows of Sunset Boulevard, inside Sunset Showcase, the all-new stage show “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” invites guests into the mysterious, reflective realm of the Magic Mirror.

In this immersive production, the Magic Mirror has summoned guests to help determine which Disney Villain has been treated most unfairly. Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent take the stage with show-stopping musical numbers, making their plea with humor, charm, and a touch of mischievous magic. As the story unfolds, dozens of infamous villains fight for their moment in the spotlight, leading to a delightfully wicked finale where the audience gets to make the final decision and answer the question, “Who’s been treated the unfairest of them all?”

“The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure”
Over in Animation Courtyard, a magical journey awaits with “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure.” Inspired by the beloved Disney animated classic, this reimagined theatrical production brings Ariel’s story to life like never before.

With breathtaking set pieces, colorful costumes, and masterful puppetry, the show’s visual style captures Ariel’s dream of a life beyond the sea. State-of-the-art effects and innovative stagecraft blend physical sets, actors, puppetry, and digital enhancements to create a truly immersive undersea experience. Guests will also be able to sing along with classic songs including “Part of Your World,” “Poor Unfortunate Souls,” and “Kiss the Girl.”

Disney’s Lightning Lane Multi Pass Info and Tiers

The new ‘Lightning Lane Multi Pass’ and ‘Lightning Lane Single Pass’ allows guests to pay an additional fee to skip some of the lines at various attractions within Disney’s theme parks. If you are familiar with the old FastPass+ system then Multi Pass works in a very similar way except now it is no longer free.

1. Onsite guests can purchase and make their Lightning Lane selections 7 days in advance and offsite guests can purchase and make their Lightning Lane selections 3 days in advance.

2. Purchase of Multi Pass and Lightning Lanes are made using Disney’s App (My Disney Experience)

3. Currently you need to be within the U.S.A or Canada to purchase and make Multi Pass experiences.

4. You can choose up to 3 attractions to experience at select times

5. You can choose 1 selection from ‘Tier One’ and 2 selections from ‘Tier Two’, see below for the Tier attractions

6. You can choose your Multi Pass experiences with return times before you actually pay.

7. You can only hold a maximum of 3 experiences, you can make an additional selection once you have used your first experience.

8. If one of your selected experiences expires before you enter the park you will not be able to make additional selection until you have entered the park.

9. Parades, Fireworks and Character Meet and Greets are currently not available as Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections.

10. If you have your first Multi Pass experience in a park that is cheaper, once you have checked in to that park and used your first Multi Pass experience you can then select Multi Pass experiences for a different park, providing you have park hopping on your ticket. You will not be charged extra if the other park’s multi pass is more expensive. So for example on launch day Multi Pass at Animal Kingdom was $18 and Magic Kingdom was $29. If you purchased Multi Pass for Animal Kingdom at $18 used your first Multi Pass experience in Animal Kingdom then selected Multi Pass experiences for Magic Kingdom, there is no extra charge.
