There is now less than a week until the hard-ticketed “Villains Unleashed” event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and more info is coming out bit-by-bit. Now, a full event schedule has been released for the big night, and there will be a lot going on.
The event schedule that is going around for “Villains Unleashed” is not yet set in stone and is subject to change at any time. It has not officially been released by Disney, but a couple of sources have told me this is what’s in place at this time.

“Villains Unleashed” Hours
The hard-ticketed event begins at 8:00 p.m., but guests with tickets will be allowed in beginning at 5:00 p.m. and it will run until 1:00 a.m.
