The Music of Unfairly Ever After

All images: Disney

A new Villain show is coming to Hollywood Studios this summer. Featuring three of Disney most popular Villains, Maleficent, Captain Hook, and Cruella de Vil, "Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After" will be a musical stage show where the Villains try to convince us that they're simply misunderstood. Let's take a behind-the-scenes look at the music of this new show.

It sounds fun, right? Here's the official description from Disney:

Behold a fiendishly funny and fantastical stage show starring iconic Disney villains… who are feeling unfairly treated.

Enter the realm of the Magic Mirror—where dozens of villains are trapped! They want the Mirror to reveal the truth: which villain has been treated the most unfairly of them all?

Watch as Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook and Maleficent present their cases on stage, persuading with wicked wisdom and wisecracks. Will you be swayed by their hijinks and humor?

It’s a spellbinding show with moving music and a most memorable finale—where you help decide who has been treated most unfairly.

"Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” will cast a spell over guests beginning May 27, 2025.

Cruella de Vil

Cruella de Vil was on hand to welcome guests to this year's Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. She was her typical haughty self, which was a delightfully villainous start to the party fun.

Funko's Funkoween POPs Are Spooktacular

Funko has released a very large collection of new POPVinyl figures as part of their Funkoween: Halfway to Hallow's Eve celebration. These are a few of my favorites. Most are available for pre-order now. First up is a new Hocus Pocus scene. This time, my three favorite witches are performing "I put a spell on you." As with previous Hocus Pocus figures, this one is a Spirit Halloween Store exclusive. It should be available in early July.

Next up is a Hocus Pocus card game. I haven't played any of Funko's games yet, but they always look fun.

Mickey and his pals are dressed to Trick-Or-Treat in this adorable collection. Figures include:

• Mickey as a jack-o-lantern 
• Glow-in-the-dark Mickey is an Amazon exclusive
• Donald as a candy corn
• Minnie as a candy corn witch
• Goofy as a skeleton 
• Glow-in-the-dark Goofy is an Entertainment Earth exclusive

A new Disney Villains collection featuring six despicable villains will be a Hot Topic exclusive. The first known figure is Hades with Pain and Panic. All six will connect to form one giant scene.

And speaking of Villains, a new set of Villain Mystery Minis are being released as well. I love the Minis, both for their small size and hilarious expressions. This collection includes:

• Evil Queen 
• Evil Queen as the Old Hag
• Chernabog
• Lady Tremaine
• Queen of Hearts
• Captain Hook
• Maleficent 
• Cruella de Ville
• Ursula
• Jafar
• Hades
• Dr Facilier

All of these, and quite a few more, should be available by early August. Or, if you're afraid you’ll miss out, why not pre-order now.

Poison Apple Inspired Pumpkin

Disney

I've always loved the spooky look of the poison apple from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It would be the perfect decoration for Halloween. Below is a video from Disney that will teach you how to turn a pumpkin into a poison apple imposter, at least for a while.

This Descendants 3 Trailer Is Wicked

Disney

A full trailer for Disney's Descendants 3 has arrived and things are definitely looking grim for Mal. At first, it seems like all her Auradon dreams are finally coming true. But VKs are never that lucky, are they? This time, their fairy tale life may come to an end.

Descendants 3 arrives on the Disney Channel on August 2.

Descendants 3 Teaser Trailer

Disney

The VKs are back to save the world yet again in Descendants 3. This time around, they'll face three new villains: Hades, Dr. Facilier, and his daughter Celia, as well as an old foe, Uma.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

Mal (Dove Cameron), Evie (Sofia Carson), Carlos (Cameron Boyce) and Jay (BooBoo Stewart) return to the Isle of the Lost to recruit a new batch of villainous offspring to join them at Auradon Prep. When a barrier breach jeopardizes the safety of Auradon during their departure off the Isle, Mal resolves to permanently close the barrier, fearing that nemeses Uma (China Anne McClain) and Hades (Cheyenne Jackson) will wreak vengeance on the kingdom. Despite her decision, an unfathomable dark force threatens the people of Auradon, and it's up to Mal and the VKs to save everyone in their most epic battle yet.

Descendants 3 will debut on the Disney Channel this summer.

Hook and the Tick-Tock Croc were one of my favorite topiary scenes at the 2010 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival.

Tsum Tsum Series 8

I love the tiny vinyl Tsum Tsum collectibles from Jakks Pacific. The figures are adorable and their accessories are perfectly themed to each character. And because they're so mini, you can display a lot of them in a small space.


I recently discovered that Series 8 of these cuties had arrived in stores. The set includes ten new figures. I got a little carried away and bought seven of them. The only ones I haven't found are Rafiki in his tree from the Lion King, and Disgust and Fear with their memory balls from Inside Out.

My favorite from this set is Gaston in his antler topped chair. That chair is my favorite place to take pictures at the Magic Kingdom, so I had to have the mini version.

Kermit is sitting on his log, probably getting ready to sing "It's Not Easy Being Green". Moana is steering her boat across the waves and Maui sits in the curve of his fishhook.

Jack Skellington is all decked out for his Christmas ride in his Santa sleigh. Heimlich has nibbled his way through a candy corn, much like in A Bugs Life. And the Maleficent dragon is surrounded by her wall of thorns, and just a whisp of green flames. Which Series 8 Tsum Tsum is your favorite?

Villainous Treats at EPCOT

Disney

The most villainous cupcakes have appeared at EPCOT this week, just in time for Halloween. The three spooktacular desserts can be found at Sunshine Seasons, but only until October 31.

• Ursula - bubblegum mousse on vanilla cake with a black mirror glaze, and Ariel's contract and Ursula's shell necklace decoration
• Cruella DeVil - chocolate and meringue cake with cream cheese filling and a kiss decoration
• Queen of Hearts - chocolate cake with strawberry cream cheese icing, a crown, and a "painting the roses red" decoration

They all sound enticing, but which one to try first? Decisions, decisions...

Descendants 2 Chillin' Like a Villain

Disney

Descendants 2 aired on the Disney Channel recently, and when I saw it, I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't sure what to expect, after Teen Beach Movie 2 was so terrible, but Descendants 2 was actually pretty good. The music was catchy, the story was cute, and it had a fun ending. It's definitely one to rewatch. In the meantime, here's a song featuring Evie, Carlos, and Jay as they try to help King Ben blend in on the Isle of the Lost.

Maleficent Dragon in the Festival of Fantasy Parade

Disneyland's Frightfully Fun Parade

This year, Mickey's Halloween Party at Disneyland has a brand new parade. The "Frightfully Fun Parade" features all of your favorite spooks and Villains.

The parade begins with Zero and the Mayor of Halloweentown, who announces the arrival of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King. Next up are some Grim Grinning Ghosts: beautiful Ballroom Dancers, spooky Gravediggers, and Hitchhiking Ghosts, trying to follow you home. Dr. Facilier in his bayou Voodoo parlor holds court with his friends from the other side. Maleficent the dragon watches over a dungeon where Hades, Jafar, Cruella de Vil, and the Evil Queen lurk.

The video below is a behind the scenes look at how the Villains float, the largest in the parade, was created. It looks pretty amazing.

And for the first time at Disneyland, the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow will ride through the park just before the parade starts. The Horseman has always been my favorite part of the Disney World "Boo to You Parade", so I'm glad to see he's been added on the west coast as well.

The "Frightfully Fun Parade" can only be seen during Mickey's Halloween Party, a separately ticketed event held on 17 nights between now and Halloween.

Tsum Tsum Villains

The next batch of Tsum Tsums won't arrive in stores until September 6, but I am very excited about this new set: Disney Villains! There are eight Tsums in the collection:

• Lady Tremaine from Cinderella
• Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians
• Ursula from the Little Mermaid
• Jafar the Genie from Aladdin 2
• The Evil Queen from Snow White
• Dr. Facilier 
• Maleficent 
• Maleficent the Dragon

I especially like Maleficent and the Dragon. Maleficent is my favorite villain because she's just so deliciously evil. Which villain will you add to your collection? 

Lego Disney Minifigures

I finally found the new Lego Disney Minifigures at Walmart. I think this will be my new collection obsession.
