PHOTOS: Disney Live Entertainment Shares a Behind-the-Scenes Look at ‘Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After’ and ‘The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure’
While 2025 will largely be a year of transformation for Walt Disney World, with major construction projects set to kick off at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the resort is still preparing to debut a few new attractions this summer.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios, for example, is set to debut two new shows- Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After and The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure.


Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Today, Disney Live Entertainment shared a sneak peek at the development of both shows.
‘Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After’
Located in Sunset Showcase, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After will transport guests to the mysterious, reflective realm of the Magic Mirror. Here, they will come face to face with the likes of Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent.

“Never ones to let a dramatic performance pass them by, fiendish foes Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent will break through the glass and take the stage to prove once and for all why they are the most misunderstood,” Disney teased earlier this month.
I, for one, can’t wait to see what Disney has cooked up.
‘The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure
Also debuting at Disney’s Hollywood Studios this summer, will be The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure.

The spiritual successor to Voyage of the Little Mermaid, the new show will use stunning new set pieces, cutting-edge effects, and a bold new design to tell Ariel’s story.
While the attraction was originally expected to open in Fall 2024, it was subsequently delayed.

As we reported, however, construction on the Little Mermaid theater is advancing, and the new show is expected to open this summer!
