A lot of exciting things are happening in Disney World right now, and there are even more exciting things coming up soon.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Test Track is getting a re-theme. A new Zootopia show is coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, which is also getting a brand new land, Pueblo Esperanza. Magic Kingdom is getting two new Cars rides AND a new Villains land, and a villains-themed show is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. However, something else is coming to Hollywood Studios, too, and that means a land will have to close down to make way for construction. Now, we know when that will happen.
Muppets Courtyard will be closing in Hollywood Studios so work on a brand new Monsters, Inc. land can begin. The new Monsters, Inc. land will have at least one new ride based on the doors scene in the first Monsters, Inc. movie.

Disney also just announced that there will be a NEW theater show as part of this retheme, too! Plus dining and shopping as well. We can’t wait!

This means that Muppet*Vision 3D will also be closing to make way for this new land to be built at Hollywood Studios. But, FEAR NOT! The Muppets aren’t going anywhere! Okay, well, they’re moving — but we think you’re going to like where!
Muppets Courtyard
Disney announced that as part of this new overhaul, the Muppets will take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and “team up with music’s biggest stars for a rockin’ music festival.” Yep, that’s right — the Muppets are coming to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster! Disney hasn’t shared too many details, but we did get this awesome poster!

According to Disney, they are “having creative conversations and exploring ways to preserve the [Muppet*Vision 3D] film and other parts of the experience for fans to enjoy in the future.” Does this mean we might get Muppet*Vision on Disney+?! We can hope!
Disney has still yet to announce when these changes will begin or when the new Monsters Inc. land and Muppets version of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster might open, but we’ll let you know when that changes!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
If you have plans to visit Hollywood Studios, you’ll have to prepare yourself for construction walls, so just make a note if you’ve got a trip coming up soon. Stay tuned to DFB for more.

This is the FINAL STRAW as far as I’m concerned. I’ve been going to WDW for 50 years and the Muppets are dear
To me. Muppets 3D was the last of Jim He son’s projects and it was great. I saw the Muppets I knew growing up (not the same as the show that appeared on ABC some years back). Disney thinks just putting them in Rockin Rollercoaster will PACIFY their fans, but they are WRONG!! At this point, I WISH Disney NEVER bought the Muppets (they haven’t done them justice). I will STOPPED going to WDW the day the Muppet Courtyard and show are DESTROYED and that’s coming from someone that’s even a stockholder of this company.
I hate this leave the Muppets alone
