Disneyland is often described as the happiest place on earth, and many visit the theme park for a variety of reasons. However, one thing most visitors have in common is the desire to see their favourite Disney characters roaming around the park. Whether you’re there for the heroes, the princesses, or even the villains, it’s always a joy to interact with them.
Unfortunately, some of these characters might no longer make year-round appearances. Rumours have been circulating that Disney villains, including the iconic Evil Queen from “Snow White”, will be removed from Disneyland and will only appear during Halloween. Here’s how fans reacted:
Earlier this week, rumours circulated online that the villainous characters at Disneyland will only return during the Halloween season. The speculation reportedly stemmed from one of the park’s own performers. For context, throughout the spooky month of October, more iconic Disney villains make appearances around the theme park. However, once the celebration is over, the number of villains is reduced to only the more popular and classic ones, such as the Evil Queen from “Snow White” and Cruella from “101 Dalmatians”.
When a visitor asked the Evil Queen how she felt about many of her fellow villains leaving after Halloween, she replied smugly that they would be taking her along with them. “What will you do without me? You’ll complain. You’ll start a revolution. I’m counting on you, my dear. Be ready,” she told the surprised fan, who promised to keep his word.
The video has since gone viral, with many expressing concern over Disneyland featuring its villains only during Halloween. Fans voiced their disappointment, saying that the Evil Queen is one of the main reasons visitors come to the park, praising the actress’ portrayal of the iconic character and her witty remarks and improvisation. Others have speculated that the company’s decision may be due to the Evil Queen becoming more popular on social media than the princesses. Some believe that it may be due to financial cuts.
Fans also suggested that removing the villains from the park would be detrimental to children, as it fails to reflect the real world, where evil and frightening people don’t only exist at certain times of the year. While these rumours have yet to be addressed by Disney or Disneyland themselves, visitors have already urged them to reconsider this move, as villains play an important part in the heroes’ and princesses’ stories.
