With Valentine’s Day 2025 nearly here, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is celebrating “Villaintines Day” with free cards and limited-time encounters with Disney Villains.
‘Villaintine’s Day’ at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
During our visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, Thursday, February 13, 2025, “Villaintine’s Day” cards were being handed out to guests. The sheet of cards features six villain-themed valentines with the text “Happy Villaintine’s Day” written on the side.
The villains highlighted include Hades, Captain Hook, Jafar, The Evil Queen, Maleficent, and Cruella de Vil.
The back of the “villaintines” has a “to” and “from” space with the phrase “Happy Villaintine’s Day” written below. The Walt Disney World logo is also featured at the bottom.
The “villaintines” are to help promote the new show coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios this summer, titled “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After.” The blurb attached to the side of the cards reads,
Coming this summer, step into the reflective realm of the Magic Mirror for a wickedly fun show where Disney’s greatest villains take center stage and you decide who has been treated most unfairly of them all!
For those not at the parks today, the “villaintines” can also be downloaded from the Disney Parks Blog.
Disney Villains who will star in the new stage show are also meeting and greeting guests as a special surprise. Jafar was stationed outside the entrance to Walt Disney Presents in front of a backdrop resembling the Cave of Wonders. We captured a photo of him with his “villaintine” that reads, “Undoubtedly me. Be Mine?”
Cruella de Vil was looking scary good while meeting guests near Grand Avenue, across from MuppetVision 3D. Her backdrop featured vibrant colors of red and green. We also captured a photo of her with her “villaintine” that reads, “Pick me, dahling. Be mine?”
Maleficent was the last baddie we spotted meeting and greeting guests. Her backdrop featured shades of green with purple thorns. She was also located near Grand Avenue, across from Baseline Tap House.
At the time of our visit, no specific meet and greet times were provided to guests, but Cast Members told us the Villains would be out and about until 4:30 p.m. today. It is unclear if the characters will also meet tomorrow, on actual Valentine’s Day.

A photo backdrop was also installed just outside of Sid Cahuenga’s One-of-a-Kind PhotoPass & Gift Shop on Hollywood Boulevard. It reads, “Who’s your Villaintine? Everyone needs a favorite fiend!”
“Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” will debut this summer, though a specific opening date has not been announced.
