Two stage shows will debut at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida next summer: "Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After" and "The Little Mermaid -- A Musical Adventure."

Both will open at Disney's Hollywood Studios. 

In the villains show, Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, Maleficent and others will take center stage on Sunset Boulevard. The Little Mermaid show, which will blend live performers, set pieces, puppets and digital elements, will include two new musical numbers: "Daughters of Triton" and "Kiss the Girl."

The announcements were part of a roundup of things to come in 2025 released by Disney on Tuesday. Disney also shared timelines for a number of upcoming projects.

A Spaceship Earth-themed lounge will open in Epcot in late spring. Offering food and drinks, the lounge will boast views of World Celebration Gardens and nighttime fireworks.

Nearby, Test Track will reopen in late summer following its June closure. The attraction, sponsored by General Motors, will have a new storyline.

Also next summer, a new nighttime parade, "Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away," will come to the Magic Kingdom. Floats will feature both classic and modern characters, from Peter Pan to Moana.
