I Would Pay a Ridiculous Amount of Money for THIS Restaurant To Come to Magic Kingdom

[Disney4me]

I love Disney villains. They are iconic, classy, wicked, and absolutely delightful. Even now, as I’m writing this, I’m wearing a Disney Villains t-shirt.

So you can imagine how thrilled I was to learn that a Villains-themed show is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. However, I’m one of those Disney fans that has been chasing the rumors of a Villains theme park for YEARS in Disney World, and you should have heard me screaming when Disney announced it was adding a Villains land to Magic Kingdom. Well, there’s something else I need to see come to Magic Kingdom, and it ties into that new land…a Villains-themed character dining experience.

Now, Disney hasn’t given us a lot of details to go on about this Villains land, except that we know it will go behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Also, we have some concept art. Seriously, we know next to nothing about what this land could have in it. But it absolutely needs a dining spot or two, right?

So here’s another thing: You just don’t see a lot of villains running around in Disney World, unless it’s Halloween or a special occasion, like the Villains-tine event recently held at Hollywood Studios. Sometimes, you’ll see them pop up randomly, perhaps in training for those big events. In fact, there are only a few regular meet and greets in Disney World with villains, including Gaston in Magic Kingdom, Cinderella’s Evil Stepmother and Stepsisters in Magic Kingdom, and the Evil Queen at the Storybook Dining at Artist Point dining experience at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.

But what if there was a character dining experience where you could meet more than just one villain? Imagine having a meal and getting a chance to chat with Cruella De Vil or snap a selfie with Jafar? Imagine Maleficent hovering over your table glowering at you. Maybe Dr. Facilier comes over to your table and asks if you’d like to meet his “Friends from the Other Side.” Or Madame Mim is just flitting around insulting folks? The possiblities are ENDLESS.

This dining experience OBVIOUSLY needs to be located in Maleficent’s castle that we see in the concept art in the new Villains land, right? Maybe you take an elevator up to the castle where you’ll also have a scenic view of the Villains land. Y’all…that would be EPIC.

As far as the menu goes, I don’t really care what the food is like, although I think I would prefer it NOT to be a buffet, but more like something at Storybook Dining at Artist Point. We’re talking elevated villains-inspired dishes with elevated character experience, you know? We also need a whole menu of cocktails and mocktails inspired by villains, too (I’ll have Yzma’s Potion, thank you very much).

Granted, we know that there will probably be villains wandering around and meeting guests in the new Villains land, but as most of us know, a character dining experience is a guarantee to meet them without having to wait in long lines. And I, for one, would pay more than I would ever pay for Cinderella’s Royal Table (which is $74 per adult). I would pay beaucoup bucks for some guaranteed time with some of Disney’s baddies.

I love you Aurora, but I want to see Maleficent

So, Disney, if you’re paying attention, I’m going to need you to get to working on that Villains restaurant and dining experience RIGHT NOW. I’m ready to make my reservation and I will give you a lot of money to meet my favorite Disney villains while munching on whatever food you offer. And I bet I’m not alone. Who’s with me?

Speaking of villains, have you seen our awesome Villains-inspired “Bad to the Bow” T-shirt at the DFB Store?
