Guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios this week will notice a major visual change near the former Grand Park area: themed construction walls have now been installed, officially closing off the space in preparation for the park’s upcoming Monsters, Inc.-themed land.
The walls block access to the Grand Park entrance, including the path that once led to MuppetVision 3D*, PizzeRizzo, and Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano - all of which closed permanently on June 7, 2025.
In typical Disney fashion, the walls are not blank. They feature themed graphics and include high-resolution versions of the previously released concept art for the new Monsters, Inc. land. These visuals give guests a glimpse of what’s to come, including a redesigned Monstropolis courtyard, the Monstro Theater, Harryhausen’s Restaurant, and the suspended-door rollercoaster set inside the iconic door vault.
The installation of themed walls marks the beginning of a major transformation for this corner of the park. While Disney has yet to confirm an opening timeline for the new land, construction is expected to continue throughout 2026.
