Friday Photo

In honor of Friday the 13th and the "Unleash the Villains" Limited Time Magic, I chose this pic of one of our favorite Disney Villains:

Disney to "Unleash the Villains" on Friday the 13th

What looks to be one of the more exciting editions of "Limited Time Magic" is coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios, as they "Unleash the Villains" on September 13. But what, exactly, does that mean? Here's the info from Disney's site:

Coming Friday, September 13, get ready to experience the most spine-tingling bit of Limited Time Magic yet at Walt Disney World Resort! From 8:00 PM until 1:00 AM—a.k.a. the 13th hour—the Disney Villains will be waiting for your arrival as they make their way to the dead center of Disney's Hollywood Studios. Come along for this devilishly delicious affair, on a night jam-packed with 13 dastardly Disney baddies and a host of fiendish festivities. It's a one-time event you won't soon forget… even if you try! And be on the lookout for further announcements and more details as the date of the event draws closer, only at Disney Parks!

With the enormous popularity and limited availability of the Disney Villains, I would expect the Studios to be exceptionally crowded for this event. That said, if you're a Villains fan, don't be afraid to brave the crowds--how often do you get to see these baddies? But if you're not planning to join in the villainy fun, I highly recommend choosing another park to visit on Friday the 13th to avoid the crowd.

More "Limited Time Magic"

Here are a few more announced "Limited Time Magic" experiences coming to Walt Disney World:

• Now through January 27, you can meet "Long Lost Disney Friends," including Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar, Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, Ludwig Von Drake, Scrooge McDuck, Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf, Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket and Geppetto, and more! All meet-n-greets are taking place in the Magic Kingdom. I'm a little jealous of anyone visiting this week, as I have only seen most of these characters in parades and have only actually had a photo taken with Jiminy Cricket.


• February 11-17 will be "True Love Week." Cinderella Castle will be blush pink and red, and there will be Prince & Princess meet-n-greets, as well as an abundance of Valentine-themed merchandise on hand.


• If one day to celebrate our nation isn't enough for you, you're in luck because July 1-7 is "Independence Week" at the Magic Kingdom. Again, expect tons of USA-themed merchandise and a festive red, white, and blue look for Cinderella's Castle. Oh...and fireworks. Of course, there will be special fireworks.


• On Friday, September 13, Disney's Hollywood Studios plans to "Unleash the Villains." Expect fun and mischief to abound as the Disney Villains will host a dance party lasting until the 13th hour (that would be 1:00 a.m.).

Those are all the officially-announced "Limited Time Magic" events currently scheduled, but expect more in the coming weeks.
