The wait is over. Two NEW shows are coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and they just got an opening date. They will be debuting on the SAME DAY! On May 27, 2025, “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” and “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” will open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

These new shows will be replacing previous shows. Here are some more details about each show…

DISNEY VILLAINS: UNFAIRLY EVER AFTER

If you’re a Disney Villains fan, this show will be for you! It’ll feature appearances by dozens of Disney villains, including Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, Maleficent, and many more. It’s a spellbinding show with moving music and a memorable finale—where you help decide who has been treated unfairly. This show will replace “Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy” in Sunset Showcase on Sunset Boulevard, which closed in October 2024.

We can’t wait for this show! The new adaptation of “The Little Mermaid” will feature puppets, digital characters, and more. Disney has stated that the show will “feature stunning new set pieces, cutting-edge effects, and a bold new design that captures Ariel’s imagination and emotions through her unique view of the world around her.” This show is located in the Animation Courtyard and replaces the “Voyage of the Little Mermaid,” which closed in 2020. This new show will also feature the same songs as its predecessor, plus a new song called “Daughters of Triton.”

May 27 will be a historic day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
