Don't remember where I found the version I read, but as stated above, the fact there's a Spidey ride and an X-Men ride indicates they're in there. I don't recall anything about them being different than the other IPs.

Again, I think the issue is ancillary characters that spun-off into separate franchises unto themselves and if they would still be considered part of a particular family. F'rinstance, both Blade and the Punisher started out as Spider-Man characters, but now, aside from the occasional crossover, they are completely independent of the web-slinger titles.

I agree Blade and Punisher, to name two, aren't particularly clear-cut. Fortunately I don't see either ever being used in a theme park. As for Big Hero 6, just like GotG, I don't believe any of the heroes in the movie were ever used on the regular in X-Men comics prior to contract signing--they should be fair game. Assuming the movie does enough business for this to matter, which is a big assumption.

Does anybody know who "The Witch" and "The Queen" (both of whom have a meet & greet) are? Is it the old hag and evil queen from Snow White? Anybody else think it's odd that they're doing 2 permanent locations of the same character?
Yep, both from Snow White. I'm not surprised at all tbh. I doubt you'll see them both at the same time and I'd rather they both appeared as apposed to just one of them.

I can't justify the cost. Seems like a giant dance party.

If they weren't, they wouldn't be putting them out.
Disney's legal team is nothing if not overly thorough. If they're doing it, then they are confident they're in the clear.

It will be fun to see Hades out in the park regardless. He's one villain that I have not seen in any parks - just didn't make it to WDW during the time he was making appearances, I guess.
The question about the Animation academy was because because of the Fantasmic showing that night and while I don't keep up with the specifics I understood there is or has been a correlation between Fantasmic shows and unpublicized character appearances in the animation academy.
Thanks for all the info - very much looking forward to this event, whatever it turns out to be. A one-off Villains night in the Disney Hollywood Studios park is better than most good Saturday nights at home. At least, that's what I always heard.

Oh Disney, why do you always try your best to tempt me out of my money? I was all set to not attend this event, save some money and put it towards Universal APs. But then I find out Constantine is going to be there!? Now something that would get me to attend more than any other character (except maybe Oogie Boogie). Has anyone heard if it's going to be the actual "Muppet" or just an alternation to the Kermit costume? I assume Matt Vogel won't be attending to perform as the character.

Constantine will be in actual Muppet form, according to resident insider @drew81 in a previous post (don't know if it was this thread or not).

Now that, is cool! I'd love to see Constantine live in the uh, frogskin
He was the best part of Muppets Most Wanted. I'm glad they're promoting him more in the parks! TDO is actually trying to squeeze a tiny bit of originality into this event between Gantu, Hamsteviel, the Oogie Boogie show, and now this. I approve!

I wonder if Darwing Duck will be at the party because my source just posted a picture of him and her as a exclusive meet and greet.

There was a Disney Afternoon party today at Epcot; Darkwing, Launchpad, Scrooge, Baloo, and Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers were all there. These appearances are not related to the Villains event.
