Disney Gives up “Happily Ever After”, Teases NEW Evil Storyline
Walt Disney World is teasing something wicked — and Annual Passholders may want to keep their eyes peeled. A new social media teaser featuring a storybook-style animation hints at the arrival of an all-new Passholder-exclusive magnet. The imagery has sparked speculation that the design could feature a classic Disney character from either Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Sleeping Beauty, with fans closely watching for the Evil Queen or Maleficent to make an appearance.
The release coincides with the ramp-up to Disney’s brand-new villain-centric show coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios this summer — a timely pairing that may offer a few clues about the magnet’s mysterious design.
The WDWAnnualPassholders Instagram page shared the tease, posting this with the caption, “We don’t want to spell out who’s on our newest Passholder magnet, but go ahead and make your guesses! ⤵️”

All Eyes on the Magic Mirror: A New Villains Show Debuts May 27
Coming to the Theater of the Stars at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After promises to turn the spotlight on the darker side of Disney lore. Debuting May 27, 2025, this stage production will be narrated by the Magic Mirror himself, as he hosts a cast of villains who are fed up with being misunderstood.
Described as both humorous and haunting, the show will use magical mirrors to bring dozens of iconic villains to life. And in true Disney fashion, a few may even “break through” those mirrors to interact directly with the audience.
Disney has offered a sneak peek at the show’s original score, which blends gothic influences with orchestral and rock elements. Among the musical surprises is a brand-new song performed by the Magic Mirror — his own anthem of injustice, written just for the production.
