D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event was filled with TONS of excitement, we still can’t believe some of the news!

There are so many new attractions coming to Disney World and Disneyland, as well as the international parks, and one of the largest announcements was that a new Monsters Inc. land is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! But here’s the thing — Hollywood Studios isn’t THAT big of a park (as it stands, it’s the second smallest next to Magic Kingdom), so it’s extremely likely that this new land will take the place of an existing attraction in the park. And Muppets fans, we need to warn you that it could be very bad news for Muppets Courtyard.

Now, to preface, NOTHING has been confirmed about where this new Monsters Inc. land will go in the parks! However, from the concept art of the new land, there are a few sections of the park that it could fit into. The first theory fans have is that it could replace Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy over in Sunset Boulevard.

However, the concept art doesn’t reaaally look like this area, if we’re being honest (but it could still happen). Another common assumption has been that it could be placed in Animation Courtyard, which would take the place of Disney Junior Play and Dance! and/or Star Wars Launch Bay.

Again though, we’re skeptical that this concept art matches this area. Concept art can always change, yes, but…*sigh* if we’re being honest with ourselves, we have to admit what the concept art really looks like — it looks like it’s smack dab in the middle of Muppets Courtyard.

We know, we know, we don’t want to admit it either, but it’s time to face the unfortunate truth that it’s entirely possible we could need to say goodbye to Muppets Courtyard, which consists of PizzeRizzo and MuppetVision 3D (as well as Mama Melrose’s) when construction begins on this new land in 2026. And since the new land appears to be so large, it could take away Star Tours and Backlot Express as well.

That does mean that we still have over a year to still experience Muppets Courtyard IF Disney does announce that this is where Monstropolis will be going! And the same can be said for any attractions that will be getting cut for this new land. While we’re excited to see this new land come to life, we still have a LONG time until we see it come to fruition, so nothing is changing anytime soon. You can still go see Sam Eagle’s glorious 3 hour finale that had to be cut down to a minute and a half.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest news we hear, so stay tuned to DFB!
