unleash the villians event anyone?

[ArielSparrow]

I'm really hoping they have meet n' greets with photopass photographers. Otherwise I'll be grabbing unsuspecting guests to take my picture with the villians using my camera since I'll be solo.

They used the term Villain Encounter separate from the nightclub, so I think there will be a meet & greet. Hopefully because it's hard to get pictures on the dance floor.

Where do they do the fireworks for the special events? 17 days to go!

All of the fireworks I've seen at DHS have been behind the Hat. So if you stand around the tipboard (hollywood blvd and sunset blvd) you'll have a good view. If you stand to close to the hat you'll miss some of them.
If you don't mind the fireworks not being centered behind the hat you can watch it from near Indiana Jones and 50s Prime Time

Awesome! Thanks for the tip!

Was there music to go with it and would it be audible near Indy? Music really makes the show. The fireworks start to look the same if you aren't centered as designed. (as I type this I can hear Disneyland fireworks lol)

Yes, I've been during NYE and 4th of July when the band (Muclh, Sweat and Shears) plays from the Hat Stage during the fireworks and you can hear them from Indy, also I've been during the May the 4th event and Last Tour to Endor and that was with recorded music and you could hear it as well.
As I said if you don;t mind them not being centered then the area around Indy is usually less busy

I've been trying to find this out. But no luck so far.

I know when the May the 4th Be With You was going on the merchandise was sold starting first thing in the morning. According to the CM's I spoke with most of it was gone by 10am.

But the May the 4th Be With You was advertised as an all day thing and the Villians event isn't.

Omg! 5 for us as well!! Lol!

No idea but praying it won't be like the Epcot anniversary where you stand in a loooooong line!

As long as Facilier is there, I am going to be happy, but I have a friend who is hoping that Ursula will be out, but I have never seen Ursula in a meet & greet form before.

 

[suefly]

We'll be there. Going down for this. Can't wait.

An article inside Eyes and Ears (a Cast Membe magazine) shows a list of some of the villains that will be at the party (they didn't make any distiction between meeting and greeting or just dancing or on stage)
Hades, Pain, Panic, Megara (she's not a villain in my opinion but excited to be able to see her up close) Maleficent, Captain Hook, Dr. Facilier, Evil Queen, Big Bad Wolf, Man in the Bowler Hat (Adult Goob from Meet the Robinsons) and more.
