It is a refreshing change to see live entertainment without being so heavily crowded that is becomes unpleasant. If anything, Disney Villains After Hours shows just how over-sold and crowed Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is - especially for a ticketed event. You don’t need to get in position an hour before, and you are not shoulder to shoulder with other guests in the hub.

The low guest numbers also mean that viewing the castle show and Maleficent procession is easy. Just like Disney After Hours, the villains edition attendance is capped, and wait times remain extremely short for all rides. Like with Space Mountain, it is nice for repeat visitors to see something new. Pirates of the Caribbean adds two live performers to the queue area, and a live Captain Barbosa to the bridge over the ride near to the burning city scene. The sound effects are not very effective and don’t really add much to the experience. The darker ride is different, especially for those who have ridden the regular Space Mountain many times before. Space Mountain operates in the pitch black mode, where all lights are off, and it adds some villains sounds. Disney has gone to some lengths here, by creating an all new castle stage show - Villains Unite the Night. The biggest change from Disney After Hours is the additional of live entertainment.

Disney encourages guests to wear costumes, but on the opening night there were very few, although some guests wore Villains inspired outfits. Unlike the regular Disney After Hours, the standard park background music is replaced with a villainous score, the standard building lighting has a sinister red glow, and there are some villain overlays to a couple of the park’s rides. It may not quite be Halloween yet, even though Disney is starting its Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party earlier than ever this year in mid-August, but Disney Villains After Hours definitely has a halloween event feel to it. You also get unlimited ice cream novelties, popcorn, and soft drinks.

Just like Disney After Hours, you get entry to the park at 7pm, and then 3 hours after the park closes to experience rides with very minimal wait times.
