WDW has another Negative Impression of Villian’s Unleashed

Here’s the summary:

> One would hope that with these changes – especially the new price tag, the new Villains Unleashed hard ticket party would be an enjoyable experience with Disney learning from the mistakes that were made a year earlier.

> Unfortunately that wasn’t the case and Disney grossly oversold the event making crowds unmanageable, merchandise and food selling out early in the night, and over three hour waits for character meet-and-greets during a five hour event. The situation was so bad that Disney was reportedly offering guests full refunds for the event at Guest Relations or offering guests tickets to this year’s Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Ouch.

Deb from AllEars.net Reviews the Villains Unleashed Event

She appears to *not* have been a fan. Some of the long lines associated with the character meet-n-greets is exactly the type thing I was afraid of. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how Disney can resolve this.

First Peek at Trattoria al Forno, New Restaurant for Disney’s BoardWalk

It looks like Disney is replacing Kouzzina with an italian place. Interesting choice, especially with Via Napoli right around the corner in Epcot.

I wish they had this in place when Elyssa and I were visiting. It might have been enough to get us to give their food a shot.

Frozen-based Enteratinment Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

I think this a good move for Disney. It gets more Frozen-based options into the parks, without forcing Disney to commit a large upfront cost, before Disney can figure out if Frozen has staying power.

Two new VIP Disney World Tours Announced

$300 a person for a 6-7 hours tour, including visits to Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdoms[^note], and a meal at table service restaurant. It does sound kind of interesting, but I think it might be a *little* spendy.

[^note]: Where guests get to ride on the Mine Train, Toy Story Midway Mania, and Expedition Everest.
