In a new video shared on Instagram, the Magic Mirror offers a hint at the backstory for the all-new Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After show coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Here’s a look! Villains Unfairly Ever After Show Plot It sounds like the show will allow villains to present their side of their stories, tallying up how poorly they have been treated. The Magic Mirror sounds to be playing the part of a mediator or perhaps a therapist for the villains as they grumble about how unfairly they have been treated. Magic Mirror on the wall, oh for the days when that was allVillains today do not care who is the fairest one of all, rather who has been mistreated most unfairly of them all. And thus, I summon thee. Oh save me from the infernal Unfairly Ever AfterMagic Mirror via Disney video Here’s what Disney said about the show, followed by the video of the Magic Mirror: This delightfully wicked live show will keep you on your toes when the most fiendish of foes, Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook and Maleficent, break through the glass to take center stage and captivate you with performances full of witty humor and mischievous charm.

Frontierland and Liberty Square are currently partially closed due to a sewage leak in the streets…again. This is the third or fourth leak in Frontierland in as many years at Magic Kingdom. Attractions and shops in the area are closed off as crews worked to contain and clean up the leak. Walt Disney World did not return a request for comment for more information. Frontierland Sewage Leak The leak had been contained and drained by the time we showed up this afternoon, but crews were still cleaning the streets in front of the Country Bear Musical Jamboree. Those bears can really get up to some… stuff. Frontierland is closed from near Tiana’s Bayou Adventure down to the Liberty Tree Tavern in Liberty Square. Frontierland will be getting an extensive facelift starting next year when construction begins for the addition of two Cars-themed attractions, taking over the southern portion of the current Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America area. I hope that Disney is able to spare some cash to fix whatever issue is causing Frontierland to continue to leak sewage.

The Create-Your-Own Headband offering that debuted at Disney Springs this summer and then expanded to Disney’s Hollywood Studios (and Magic Kingdom), is now available in EPCOT as well. While visiting EPCOT today, we stopped into Creations Shop to grab some photos of the Create-Your-Own Headband station. Here’s a look! Create-Your-Own Headband at EPCOT The Create-Your-Own Headband station can be found about midway through the store on the World Celebration Gardens windows side of Creations Shop. As with other Create-Your-Own Headband stations, the price is determined by the cost of the base headband ($11.99) plus each additional character accessory ($9.99 each). The EPCOT station contains similar options available around Walt Disney World, including characters from Inside Out 2. There were no Christmas options when we visited. Here’s a look!
