Ummm, did we just get a sneak peek at two upcoming Disney World attractions? On our last visit to Hollywood Studios, we stopped by Walt Disney Presents, which showcases a ton of Disney history, props, models, and occasionally previews of upcoming projects, where we saw two NEW Displays.

That’s right, we just got new displays for both Monstropolis and the updated Carousel of Progress, and we are bringing you ALL the details.
Every time we visit Hollywood Studios, we make sure to stop by Walt Disney Presents just to check and see if any new displays catch our eye.

And on our last trip, we saw not one but two new displays dedicated to new projects coming to Disney World. Starting with some brand-new concept art and details for Monstropolis, the new Monsters, Inc. land coming to Hollywood Studios. Starting with a collection of concept art, some of which we’ve seen, while some is brand-new!
Monstropolis Concept Art
We have seen both the concept art for the entrance of the land…

There is also new concept art showing the entrance and outdoor Marquee sign for “Welcome To Monstropolis” at the Glob Theater.

And finally, we also got a look at the interior lobby of the “Welcome to Monstropolis” show, which appears to include a Monsters Concession Stand. We do not yet know if this will be an actual stand that will serve monster-themed food or is just part of the theming, but we are excited to find out!

In addition to the concept art, we saw figures of some of the animals we can expect to find in the land, including monster pigeons…
