Perfectly Sinister Disney Gifts for your Villainous Valentine
I don’t know about you, but I just love a good Villain. So, in honor of that, we’ve gathered up a collection of Disney gifts perfect for your Villainous Valentine.
- Zales Enchanted Disney Villains Evil Queen Diamond Engagement Ring in 14K White Gold
- Zales Enchanted Disney Villains Jafar Diamond Snake Hoop Earrings in Sterling Silver
Zales has an entire collection of fine jewelry dedicated to the villain in your life. There are rings, earrings, and a necklace to add a little sparkle to her bad side! Prices range for $149.99 to $3499.99. You can see the whole collection here.
Whether it’s a party where a baby need to be cursed, or a poisonous apple that needs to be delivered, we all know that Villains like to be on time! Citizen, that iconic watch company, has two gorgeously subtly but darkly sinister timepieces to choose from. Both watches are inscribed on the case back. Maleficent says, “Mistress of all Evil,” and Ursala says, “Poor Unfortunate Souls.” You’ll find these and more Disney watches here.
Does your true love need a way to carry all their spell ingredients on their next adventure through the haunted forest? In that case, Hot Topic has you covered with these two Loungefly bags. The Maleficent satchel is debossed with a scene of Prince Philip battling Maleficent in her dragon form. The mini backpack is made of a soft red velvet and the gold heart on the front is engraved with “Evil Queen.”

If you and your Valentine are more into experiences, then I would highly recommend attending Disney Villains After Hours at Magic Kingdom Park. This separate ticketed event takes place on select nights February 7th – July 10th, 2020. You’ll have the Magic Kingdom as your playground for an additional 3 hours after the park closes to guests. Enjoy frightfully fun entertainment, photo ops, and park entry as early as 7:00 PM. Ice cream novelties, popcorn and select bottled beverages are all included with your event admission. There’s also an After Hours exclusive parade called the Villains’ Cursed Caravan which happens twice a night where Maleficent – the fire-breathing dragon – slinks through the park.

If you’re interested in booking the Villains After Hours Event at Magic Kingdom park contact Kimberly with Enchanted Kingdom Vacations. Check her out here. And Happy Valentine’s Day my nefarious friends!

Everyone is celebrating Valentine’s Day today, but on Tuesday Disney Parks was celebrating Villaintine’s Day and they brought in the Dapper Dans to help.

It was a perfect day to celebrate all Disney villains and the fun they add to Disney films or attractions – and no attraction houses more “creepy creeps” who “pretend to terrorize” than the Haunted Mansion.

When they started making plans on how to celebrate Villaintine’s Day, one question came to mind – what would happen if we sent the cheerful, happy-go-lucky Dapper Dans quartet from Main Street, U.S.A., to deliver a Singing Valentine to none other than Master Gracey at the Haunted Mansion? Check out the video below to watch as the Dapper Dans’ “vocalize” their Singing Valentine into a Singing Villaintine.

Celebrate the Season of Love and Friendship at Disney Springs

This February, take a fresh approach to celebrating Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day (Feb. 13) or any fun night out with friends by exploring what’s new at Disney Springs.

Recently recognized by The New York Times as one of the top places to go in 2018, Disney Springs is home to Central Florida’s hottest new restaurant and entertainment venues. It’s the place to set sail for romance aboard a stunning 40-foot Venetian water taxi or treat friends to a vintage amphicar ride. And it’s the destination for one-of-a-kind entertainment that ranges from a hyper-reality Star Wars experience and luxury bowling to an eclectic array of street performers and live entertainment.

Here are some memorable ways to surprise your Valentine, gal pals or best friends this month – or any other time of the year.

From Romantic to Electrifying Dining

In honor of Valentine’s Day, a number of restaurants at Disney Springs are offering special menu items. The list includes surf-and-turf for two at STK Orlando, fresh catch selections at Paddlefish, a delectable special menu at Paradiso 37 and a specialty cocktail at Morimoto Asia.

Friends and lovers can also check out some brand-new Disney Springs restaurants. Guests can share plates of spaghetti and other tasty Italian dishes at the new Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante. Following the Disney Springs story line, this chic restaurant is set in a once-abandoned airline terminal from the 1930s. The open and airy dining room features 50-foot ceilings and views of Lake Buena Vista. For a more casual experience, head below ground to Enzo’s Hideaway – a speakeasy located in storied rum-runner tunnels – that serves up Prohibition-era cocktails and hearty Roman dishes.

Next door, The Edison dials up the excitement with electrifying entertainment, craft cocktails and contemporary American fare. At night, this “industrial Gothic”-themed space transforms into a nightlife hot spot with weekends featuring live bands, cabaret dancers and aerialists.

These are just some of the options at Disney Springs, which is home to more than 50 food and beverage locations including five by James Beard Award-winning chefs.

More to See and Do Together

Shared time together is arguably the best gift of all. At Disney Springs the options for sharing time with friends or that special someone are off the charts.

Venture to The VOID and embark on the new hyper-reality, multi-sensory experience, Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire. In groups of four, teams suit up and go undercover as Stormtroopers to capture imperial intelligence vital to the budding rebellion’s survival. The experience is untethered and unbelievable.

At The BOATHOUSE, couples can set sail on The Venezia, a breathtaking Italian water taxi, for a romantic guided tour of Disney Springs complete with chocolate-covered strawberries and a champagne toast. There are also vintage amphicar rides – rare vehicles that travel both on land and in the water.

Other favorite hotspots for a fun night out include Splitsville Luxury Lanes, a modern upscale bowling alley, and AMC Fork & Screen Dine-in Theatres. Or, simply stroll the promenade and catch some of live performers and entertainment – more than 25 acts nightly.

Indulgent treats

Nothing says Valentine’s Day better than chocolate. Stop by The Ganachery and watch expert chocolatiers create richly exotic treats. Sample in store and take home an elegant, hand-packaged gift box for that special someone. Decadent hot-fudge sundaes – perfect for sharing – can be found at the world-famous Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop. There is also a gallery of goodies at Amorette’s Patisserie – a sophisticated pastry shop filled with Disney-inspired cakes, cookies, cheesecake, macarons and eclairs.

Step beyond everyday gift giving

It’s easy to get creative with gift giving at Disney Springs. For the guy who likes a little pampering there’s The Art of Shaving. This handsome shop features high-end grooming products for the modern man. Guys can even get a haircut and shave onsite in The Barber Shop.

Ladies will enjoy the fairytale ambiance of Ever After Jewelry Co. & Accessories, the ultimate destination for Disney-themed baubles, handbags and fashion. For elegant fine jewelry and designer watches, Luxury of Time by Diamonds International offers a wide selection in their upscale boutique.
