Villains Unleashed is looking like it is going to turn out to be one of the best character events Disney World has ever offered. There are many characters that are either really rare or have never met at Disney World. I know I’m excited about the night!
The event begins offically at 8:00pm, but guests will be allowed to enter using their special event ticket at 5:00pm. If you are already in the park after 5:00pm, you can visit the Indiana Jones Stunt Show area or Soundstage One that currently houses Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post. Here’s some of what you might expect at the special hard ticket party.
NOTE: I won’t be creating any special touring plans for the event because everyone will have a different desire to meet different characters. I’ll be offering a special post-fun meet up at the Sorcerer’s Hat at 1:00am. I’ll be in the area earlier I’m sure as well.
The characters will NOT be signing autographs. Instead, you’ll be given cards that have their signatures imprinted upon them.

Kenny, With the party not being sold out would you compare the potential crowds to be similar to a MNSSHP that is not sold out? And if so, how are the lines during those? I am trying to gauge what to expect on Saturday. Thanks.

It's going to be pretty crowded. Just enjoy the night and try for the meets that you really want.

Hi Kenny! I was wondering If it is a hard ticket event, it's more likely that everyone in the VUP will have a seat for the Fantasmic show right? and Do you have any idea of how will the Oogie Boogie Show will be?

Yes hard ticket event Aug 23. What is VUP? Supposed be a somewhat comedic look at villains.

What's your gut telling you? Are you expecting crowds on par with the 24 hour villains debacle? That one left a bad taste in my mouth. I sat in a line to park and just gave up. Epcot wasn't that crowded though. The addition of Constantine is making me really think hard about going now.

I expect about half the crowd and the villains being spread out will be a very positive thing.

Not sure. I know fireworks is 12:45am and they start clearing the fall out zone around 11:30pm. That usually includes the Streets of America, so we'll see what in the world they are doing.

Looking forward to seeing your report on this event. Glad they figured out to hard ticket it after last year but also glad to see they know how many people love villains and are going to be adding them a little more time here and therefor events. Looking forward to MNSSHP in October to see some of them.
