Mickey Darth Vader would be a nice touch, especially when we can expect to see much more of Star Wars in the parks, but it doesn't quite seem to fit in to the traditional villains theme, hmmmm.......
Now you've gut us thinking!!!
Nice post - love me some bullet points. I wonder who the Big Hero 6 characters will replace?
Hadn't heard about the Club Villain dance party but surprised they didn't do it sooner; sounds like a good time.
JB: Big Hero 6 characters will likely replace Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope at the Animation building. As for the villains dance party, I think they are just now realizing the draw the villains have. Surprised it took them so long too.
Kev: if you didn't see today, they did announce that Constantine would be appearing from Muppets Most Wanted. I'm not sure if that was the rumored character of there's still one more that will be the surprise.
