The new year is bringing a wave of exciting additions to Walt Disney World! From thrilling new attractions to dazzling stage shows and a spectacular nighttime parade, 2025 is shaping up to be an unforgettable year for Disney fans. Let’s explore all the magic that awaits!
“Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After”
If, when you’re watching a Disney movie, you relate more to the Villains … maybe we should hang out. In fact, let’s hang out this summer at the ALL-NEW show, “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After.”
This delightfully wicked live show will keep you on your toes when the most fiendish of foes, Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent, break through the glass to take center stage and captivate you with performances full of witty humor and mischievous charm. You may even get a glimpse of a few more of your favorites through the magical mirrors as dozens of the most infamous evildoers try to join in the delightfully diabolical fun.

“The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure”
Grab your dinglehoppers and get ready, because it’s time to shell-ebrate with “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure.” This summer, we’ll all be part of Ariel’s world as the Walt Disney Animation Studios classic “The Little Mermaid” comes to life on stage! We’re talking all-new sets, a vibrant cast of puppets, live performers, and stunning visuals coming together to take us under the sea.
Remember the days when we’d pop in that favorite VHS tape and sing along to our favorite tunes? Fans of the movie can relive that nostalgic joy with plenty of nods to the brilliant animation style of the film. Even the youngest kiddos will sing along with beloved songs including “Under the Sea” and “Part of Your World,” plus two new-to-this-theater musical numbers, “Daughters of Triton” and “Kiss the Girl.”
