2025 Details to What’s Coming to Walt Disney World
Disney has given us more information on things coming to Walt Disney World in 2025 and we are thrilled and sad at the same time.
What’s new at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Let’s first start with Hollywood Studios and the highly anticipated new show about Disney’s villains. Disney has finally released the official name of the show, “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After.” We are thrilled to see this and get more detail as it will open at the end of 2025
“If, when you’re watching a Disney movie, you relate more to the Villains … maybe we should hang out. In fact, let’s hang out this summer at the ALL-NEW show, “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After.” Oh, hold on, we’re getting a message from someone in a mysterious, reflective realm.
This delightfully wicked live show will keep you on your toes when the most fiendish of foes, Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook and Maleficent, break through the glass to take center stage and captivate you with performances full of witty humor and mischievous charm. You may even get a glimpse of a few more of your favorites through the magical mirrors as dozens of the most infamous evildoers try to join in the delightfully diabolical fun.“

The second new thing coming to Hollywood Studios is the revamped “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” located at the previous Little Mermaid building. This will open late 2025 as well.
“Grab your dinglehoppers and get ready, because it’s time to shell-ebrate with “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure.” This summer, we’ll all be part of Ariel’s world as the Walt Disney Animation Studios classic “The Little Mermaid” comes to life on stage! We’re talking all-new sets, a vibrant cast of puppets, live performers, and stunning visuals coming together to take us under the sea.
Remember the days when we’d pop in that favorite VHS tape and sing along to our favorite tunes? Fans of the movie can relive that nostalgic joy with plenty of nods to the brilliant animation style from the film. Even the youngest kiddos will sing along with beloved songs including “Under the Sea” and “Part of Your World,” plus two new-to-this-theater musical numbers, “Daughters of Triton” and “Kiss the Girl.”

EPCOT
EPCOT has gotten quite a rehab the past 2 years and opening this year is a new Spaceship Earth Lounge pairing with the Spaceship Earth restaurant. So far the open date is 2025 but no definitive date yet.
Paying tribute to the most beautiful EPCOT icon, our favorite geodesic sphere will be home to a whole new experience in late spring, welcoming an elevated lounge to the list of things that make it absolutely stunning! This elegant lounge, honoring the intertwined history of Spaceship Earth and EPCOT itself, is set to celebrate the legacy of the icon’s past while admiring its future. Our chefs have created delicious culinary creations to complement the elegance of this extraordinary, intimate setting. While taking in breathtaking views of the park from an entirely new angle, you can be inspired by the stories and legacy of this iconic structure. With sweeping views of World Celebration Gardens and a unique perspective of the nightly fireworks, this secluded retreat invites you to raise a toast to the enduring spirit of EPCOT.
