Descendants Mischief Makers:
Look out in Designated Areas within Hollywood Studios for the Descendants Mischief Makers. These misfits straight from the Isle of the Lost, will be creating mischievous moments for, and with guests. These scoundrels will sneak guests to the front of the line on favorite attractions such as The Great Movie Ride, and Rock n' Rollercoaster Starring Aerosmith, taking and giving things out to children (such as stickers or plushes). Be sure to look out for these mischief makers on San Fransisco Street, where they have turned the street into their own adventure course. Watch as they balance on pipes, graffiti the buildings, and even swing overhead from rooftop to rooftop. There will be approximately 20 mischief makers in the park at any given time (3 of which will be on San Fransisco street, split into three shifts. The first shift from Park Open-12 will have 16 who will travel in packs of two or three. Three will be at San Fransisco Street, while Four will rotate between Rock n' Rollercoaster and Sunset Ranch. Two will be stationed in front of the old backlot tour entrance, and three will rotate between Center Stage, Commissary Lane and the Muppets area. The remaining four will rotate around Echo Lake. Two will be added to the center stage area and two to the Backlot Tour entrance area in the afternoon shift (12-4). The final shift from 4-8 will only station Three People in Echo Lake, and three in center stage.
Descendants: Hall of Villains
In the old Jack Sparrow building, the all new interactive theater experience, Descendants: Hall of Villains, will bring guests into the magical world of Auradon. A sign marking the entrance will be created, with a digital wait sign. This attraction will have continuous shows, from Park Open to Park Close, in a similar format to Voyage of the Little Mermaid. This attraction will offer FASTPASS+ in limited quantities. The experience begins when guests enter the pre-show room, where we are at the entrance to the hall of villains wing, with an eerily familiar mirror in front. Once the 180 people enter, the mirror springs to life with an important message from the Fairy Godmother. She warns us that weird occurrences have been happening in the Hall of Villains, with their statues coming to life. She tells us that we will be listening to an audio tour on the villains upon entry, and to enjoy. We enter the circular theater surrounding four statues of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil, which seem to twitch briefly, but you shrug it off. Once everyone is seated, a light shines on Cruella and begins to tell her story. The audio soon trails off and causes a blackout. Fairy Godmother comes on the PA system saying that it was just a blackout and that there is no need to worry. The power comes back on, and in the place of the statues are the villains themselves. They roam, and discuss with each other, making fun of Cast Members and some audience members. The show features two songs, an original, and a song from the movie with new lyrics. "The Curse of the Isle of the Lost" is an original ballad sung by the villains as to how they possessed the statues, and what they live through on the Isle of the Lost. The second song, "Evil like Us" is based on the song "Evil Like Me" but reworked to be geared towards the audience. After that song, the lights go out once again, followed by another announcement by a frustrated Fairy God Mother. The power returns to find statues back in the place of the villains, as you are escorted out. This show only needs 8 ops CMs to run, and four performers. The villains will match the movie versions, not the classics. Note* If this attraction exceeds capacity expectations, the line will be rerouted to Auradon Courtyard to add queueing.
Descendants: Quest for the Wand is a scavenger hunt, that has guests searching for amulets with numbers throughout the park. The numbers will eventually spell out a code that can be entered at a special location to create a showcase of special effects, which vary. The wand will be located in Auradon Courtyard and will create sound effects, or cause things to morph.
Auradon Courtyard is the place to go for all things Descendants. Taking place where Darth's Mall was at Star Wars Weekends 2015, this Mini Land features light theming based on Auradon, and two main areas.
Treasures of Auradon, is the all new store that features all things Descendants. Located where Watto's Grotto and Wandering Oaken's were, this spellbinding shop gives large ranges of merchandise for Descendants.
Auradon Royal Hall is the place to meet Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, or Prince Ben. Two random characters will be available to meet at any time. This is in the old Prop Warehouse and will have light theming.
Set It Off– A Descendants Fireworks Spectacular is the new nightly nighttime spectacular at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Thai show begins as Ben, The Fairy GodMother and Mal take to the stage. Fairy Godmother talks of Ben's coronation, and how tonight is meant to celebrate it. She says that this is in tribute to the Royal family of Auradon, as well as all of the families and with a flick of her wand, starts the show. A medley of Beauty and the Beast songs, including the jazzed up version of Be Our Guest used in Descendants, plays to extravagant fireworks, followed by a rendition of classic princess songs. The medley soon ends to large applause, when two Mischief Makers grab the wand. Fairy Godmother shrieks and says, "What have you done?" To a burst of fireworks, Maleficent appears, claiming that she would like to give a tribute as well, but to the villains. A villain melody breaks out, even featuring a bit of "Rotten to the Core" and "Evil Like Me". Mal banishes Maleficent with the work of her own magic, to which the fairy godmother calls for a celebration. "Set it Off" is played to the ultimate grand finale as large bursts of color fill the sky.
Summer of Descendants is sure to please all visitors to Disney's Hollywood Studios, and bring a new set of entertainment offerings.
