Planning An Epic Family Night Out at the Disney Descendants/Zombies Tour in Tampa Bay
The Disney “Descendants” movies, featuring the story of children of the most iconic Disney villains, created a longstanding fandom for kids and tweens, showing them that even those who come from different situations can use their power for good. The same is true with Disney's “Zombies,” following a pair who are complete opposites in a world that pits them against each other, but sometimes to spark change, you need to work together.
Behind these two movie series lies one clear message: Being who you are brings goodness into the world. And now Disney is bringing the icons of change to the stage in their 2025 Disney Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour on Friday, September 5, at 7 p.m. at Amalie Arena!
Who's performing?
Families will be able to rock out with SEVEN franchise cast members as they tour the country, bringing their great Disney hits to you! Kylie Cantrall, known as Red from “Descendants: The Rise of Red,” headlines with fellow costars Malia Baker (Chloe Charmind), Dara Reneé (Uliana), and Joshua Colley (Young Hook), joined by “Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires” cast Freya Skye (Nova Bright), Malachi Barton (Victor), and Mekonnen Knife (Vargas).
There will even be some special guest appearances on screen from other cast members!
By the way, if your family can't get enough of beloved characters, here's where to meet Mickey and Other Characters at Walt Disney World.
What can we expect from the Disney Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour?
From iconic “Descendants” movie songs like “Rotten to the Core,” “What's My Name,” “Zombies” song, “Someday,” and many more, your young ones and tweens can sing their hearts out with the cast like never before. There will even be on-screen appearances from other movie cast members and Disney Stars!
