I was sitting in about the sixth row of the Honda Center two years ago when the then Chairman of Disney Experiences, who in about three weeks will become the CEO of Disney, Josh D’Amaro, pulled the classic “one more thing” move during the D23 Parks Panel. His one more thing blew the roof off the arena when he announced that a new land, dedicated entirely to Disney Villains, would be coming to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
Yet, while many of the new attractions and lands announced that same night have seen construction begin, Villains Land has remained elusive. Part of the reason for that, it turns out, according to rumors, is that the original plan for the land has been thrown out. Apparently, D’Amaro is asking for something grander. Based on new details, it looks like he may get it.
