I mean, hey! If any TV villains were gonna be apart of this, especially since Hämster has the door cracked a bit, it'd definitely be those two, especially since Doof already showed up last year in Cali!

As much as Disney doesn't want to be seen as competing with Epic Universe, any new offerings opening around that time period will be seen as competing. If people are already combining Universal and Disney, it'll be a bonus to have those shows open at the same time as Epic. I can see them trying to open those shows at the same time as reopening Test Track and the new parade to package them as the new things for 2025. Either way, the new Disney entertainment, Disneyland's 70th anniversary, the last days of Muppets Courtyard and Epic Universe opening, May/June will be busy months for Park Fans

Disney definitely is competing.

But they couldn't have started the 'catch up' until recently because they didn't have the free cash to do so. There was COVID. Then they made investing in streaming their top priority (and when you look at the sorry state of NBC and CBS streaming... they made the right decision). Part of that was buying out Comcast from Hulu.

Now that streaming is net positive, Disney is dropping $60B over 10 years on Entertainment and Experiences (which includes cruise ships). And a promise to spend $17B in WDW.

So, yes, Disney is competing, but, they had priorities above the parks for a while.

Entertainment is something they can throw together in a year, compared to E-Ticket rides that take 2-3 years. So, they're dropping new entertainment on us.

Interesting if true as feels like there had been a shift to shortening shows vs something this long.

Definitely puts a lot of pressure on it to be good and also to have some variety to it vs just having a bunch of villains. But each presented in similar format

Though I am less excited for this show than others so was already feeling like it will have to "win me over" and now feel even stronger that way to get be to spend that much time with it

Nemo and Friends at Animal Kingdom used to be a glorious 40 min until they reduced it to a sad 25 min. due to guest/children's attention spans.

The new 25 min version does not make me want to see it again whereas before, the show was a MUST for me each visit. Nemo and Friends used to feel like a mini broadway show.

My guess is, this villains show will be cut to 25 min at some point.

Hopefully it won’t last long enough for that
