After Disney made some seriously MASSIVE announcements at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, rumors have been swirling about what exactly that means for Disney World.
Hollywood Studios
A Monsters, Inc. coaster has been announced for Hollywood Studios and fans have been guessing just where it will go, with a few different possibilities swirling around out there. But, we definitely weren’t expecting an entirely NEW announcement about a permanent attraction closure at this park quite so soon — and certainly not for this reason!
Disney has announced that Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy will be permanently CLOSING.

The attraction is closing to make way for a BRAND-NEW Disney Villains show debuting at Sunset Showcase in the summer of 2025! Disney hasn’t shared too many details about this new show so far, but we do know the show will feature “dozens of the most infamous evildoers, with fiendish foes Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook and Maleficent each breaking through the glass to take the stage in live production numbers.”

But, it does mean we’ll have to say goodbye to Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy so Disney can make this transformation! Folks who want to experience this attraction one last time should do so before October 7th, 2024.
