Disney Cast Members to Get Final Farewell at Muppet*Vision 3D on June 10

Walt Disney World will host a special celebration on June 10, 2025, giving Disney’s Hollywood Studios Cast Members the final opportunity to experience Muppet*Vision 3D before it permanently closes. The event will serve as a farewell to the Grand Avenue area, which will soon be transformed into the new Monsters, Inc.-themed land, Monstropolis.

According to internal communications, the Cast-exclusive event will include not only a final screening of Muppet*Vision 3D, but also games and other themed activities as a way to celebrate the legacy of the area and honor those who have worked in it.

The celebration follows the June 7 public closure of Muppet*Vision 3D and PizzeRizzo. Cast Members will effectively be the last guests to enjoy the beloved 3D attraction, which first opened in 1991 and was the final project personally overseen by Jim Henson.

The last day to experience MuppetVision 3D and dine at PizzeRizzo will be June 7, 2025. MuppetVision 3D, which has been a fan-favorite since its debut in 1991, will make way for the Monstro Theater, a new attraction that Disney says will bring the humor and excitement of Monsters, Inc. to life.

Disney has previously said that "As we move forward with these changes, we are having creative conversations and exploring ways to preserve the film and other parts of the experience for fans to enjoy in the future."

Saw the show on Friday night around 6PM, all the curtains were working. The show overall looked great IMO.

Sad to see it go ….
Saw the show on Saturday. Everything appeared to be working.
I'll be forever thankful that for my last viewing of the show (in September 2024), everything was working. Pretty much a flawless show, as far as I could tell.
I'm glad to see MuppetVision is going to be going out in respectable condition and breaking the "Eh it's closing so let it rot" trend
I think everything was working back in 2017 for my farewell viewing. So annoyed this is going to be gone by the time I'm there a month later.
Eh…. I feel conflicted about things like that.

I’m all for giving the CM’s something special - they deserve it. But it’s kind of a middle finger to the fans at the same time - which is the general attitude I’ve felt from WDW.

They are clearly creating a tribute to this show. It won't end up in a park again.

Absolutely no way to know that for certain.

How is this a middle finger exactly? You're creating arguments in your head.

I think it’s fair. I don’t think that fans are entitled to the last show/ride on anything. It’s not like Disney is putting this behind a paywall and having a $3000 ticket to the last show. The 7th is still going to be the last public showing, this is just a special encore for the people who make the magic possible.

True. Giving it to the CM’s is more generous then monetizing it I’ll give you that for sure.

Does anyone know of any non official events for this finale? I know I missed out on the farewell to illuminations event that I would have gladly paid for had I known about it before it started lol.

Never say never, but attractions that are getting archived and a likely a tribute show about it's historic significance doesn't feel like it's coming back.

The side curtains were definitely working on Saturday. Forgot to check the main.

So they just did the POV of rise of the Resistance so guess that is leaving ;)

J/k

To take a more optimistic look, maybe this recording is to properly capture the entire experience SO THAT they can recreate it which they could do with just having the film
