Zero. Nada. Zilch. There is no "most of us want this to happen", it's a fanboi wet dream. "WE SOLD OUT AN AFTER HOURS EVENT 10 YEARS AGO!!!! THIS HAS TO HAPPEN NOW!!!!1!!!!1!"

I do think a big draw like villians would be good for dhs. Tbh all that dhs needs is one new attraction outside of a potential villain's land, and the park would be good for a while. Hopefully one that wouldn’t replace something that isn’t there but i could 100% one of the older attractions there biting the bullet in 5-10 years.

It has a number and a plot. I've not heard of a greenlight just yet, but it's closer than I thought it would get.
Optimistic about the proposed content.

Hopefully it pulls through. Do you know which park?

I don't get why Villiansland wouldn't work today. It doesn't need to be scary at all. It just showcases other IP.
They sell villain merchandise at DHS, and they have made how many from-the-baddies-point-of-view movies.

That's the real problem. If we can't get a complete land with one of the biggest most marketable IPs EVER, star wars. It would be highly unlikely a villain land gets more than one D ticket and a flat ride and the usual merch shops. Maybe a quick service. I don't see a villain character meal as Disney would be to afraid of "too scary!" complaints from the parents.
So I feel if it happened, it would be fairly unremarkable. I'm sure it would look good, I'd just bet it would have a real lack of substance.

I'm far from the first to suggest this, but make a Villains land with a dark castle. Projection map it with an alternate show synced to the existing fireworks. Build a dark Emporium, and, more importantly, a second entrance/exit. Boom, you've not only doubled your existing fireworks viewing capacity, but also incentivized staying (and spending money in the park) late twice. It may be the thing that swings a vacation to one extra day at the MK instead of Universal.

Honestly, I think the thing that I would find most intreaguing about a villians land would be a dark, villians TSR (possibly with rooms themed to various villians?) But for that to work, I'd want the waiters to be slightly mean (in a tongue in cheek way), bit I feel like Disney has been pulling back from "non-traditional" servers in recent years... so, yeah...

I mean, roundup rodeo & Skipper Canteeen opened this decade with non-traditional servers. Given how popular the First Order cast is on Rise, I could see Disney implementing some more “rude” CMs.

I personally think Villains should go in MK, so we avoid an IP land there and put the IP lands elsewhere, like Hollywood. I’m terrified of the thought of Zootopia Land in MK, lmao

Villians would be QS. Get your own food!

Certainly hope not. I don't understand the attraction that some people see in this idea

I would not want a rude waitstaff.
I personally don't like scary, but Disney villains aren't usually spooky, or gory. Here were ideas from an old post of mine:
Some Villainsland ideas:
- Hades' HELLenic Bar & Grill
- Maleficent Dragon Coaster (indoor, maybe a mountain)
- Cruella Couture: Fashion to Die for
- Cave of Wonders: Featuring Jafar & Iago (trackless, or simulator, or something indoor ride...or is this just a gift shop?)
- Escape Neverland (indoor boat ride w/ drop)
- Ursula spinner
- Descendant's stage show

To me at least, a Villains land is one of the last remaining “genres” they could put in a land. We have fantasy, sci-fi, adventure, western, and historical- horror seems like a good fit. Plus Disney has a lot they can pull from for a villains land, and which the supposed plot being adjacent to Fantasyland, it just makes too much sense.

If y’all think a Villains land would be scary, then by that logic, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary is a horror event. Dark and spooky doesn’t always equate to scary, its why the Haunted Mansion has lasted for so long and why Alien Encounter hasn’t.

I’m personally in the camp of wanting Villains land to be a whimsical kind of spooky. Like the vibe of the Haunted Mansion, but a whole land, almost like a Halloween land in a way. Lots of twisted trees, fog, and old Bavarian village buildings with a dark castle looming in the distance. The sound of owls and wolves in the distance, the light of old lanterns and overly melted candles, the smell of oak and smoke in the air. No jump scares or truly horrifying imagery, just some nice spooky ambience.
