Disney updated the available attractions list to exclude MuppetVision 3D from Extended Evening Hours, available to qualifying resort hotel guests, in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Starting on select nights beginning Wednesday, September 25, 2024, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will stay open for Extended Evening Hours from 9pm to 11pm for qualifying resort guests. Magic Kingdom has started hard-ticket events such as Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party so they are not partaking in the program for the next several weeks.

Last week we reported that the Extended Evening Hours were returning to Hollywood Studios, and MuppetVision 3D was still on the attractions list. However, as of today, it has been removed. This is notable given the persistent rumor of where the Monsters, Inc. land may be located in Hollywood Studios.

At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Disney announced their first-ever Monsters, Inc. land including their first-ever suspended roller-coaster. Many are worried about the future of MuppetVision 3D but multiple sources report that the land will replace the Animation building, which currently houses Star Wars Launch Bay.

We have no reason to believe that the removal of MuppetVision 3D from Extended Evening Hours has anything to do with the future Monsters, Inc. Land as MuppetVision 3D does remain open for normal operating hours through October 2024 (which is as far as the calendar goes as of publication). However, it is strange that Disney has remained quiet on the location of the project and now this change has been made.

Of course, Extended Evening Hours are usually a chance to experience attractions that typically have long wait times with a much shorter queue. MuppetVision 3D is seldom a long wait time for guests, so there just simply may be no good reason to operate it during this event.

Where do you hope Monsters, Inc. will be located in Hollywood Studios? Let us know in the comments below.

The Red Car Trolley will close permanently at Disney California Adventure next year.

According to Scott Gustin on X, Disney has confirmed the Red Car Trolley will close in 2025 to allow construction to begin on the Avengers Campus expansion, which necessitates the removal of the Red Car Trolley barn.

The above concept art shows the expanded Avengers Campus footprint, allowing for the upcoming fourth ride, Stark Flight Lab. The third attraction, Avengers: Infinity Defense, is also under construction. The addition of both rides is expected to double the size of Avengers Campus. No other closures to accommodate the expansion have been confirmed at this time

The expansion was announced at D23 earlier this month.

The Red Car Trolley opened in July 2012 with the full reimagining of Disneyland Resort’s second gate. It’s an iconic part of Buena Vista Street and the park in general. A closing date has not been announced.
