Disney’s Hollywood Studios Extends Hours Ahead of Muppet*Vision 3D Closure

Well, it’s really happening, and maybe we have been in denial, but we can’t deny it anymore: Muppets Courtyard is officially going away to make way for the new Monsters, Inc. land.

In fact, we’ve already had to say goodbye to a few Muppets Courtyard institutions, like Mama Melrose’s. We’ll also soon be saying goodbye to the rest of Muppets Courtyard including PizzeRizzo (okay, so we haven ‘t been kind to PizzeRizzo in the past, but we’ll still miss it). However, the hardest thing for us is going to be bidding farewell to Muppet*Vision 3D, but we’ve got some good news: Disney is giving us an extra hour to do so on its final day.

Muppet*Vision 3D and the rest of Muppets Courtyard are officially closing on June 8th and we noticed something interesting when looking at the Disney World calendar. Just ahead of the ride’s last day, June 7th, Disney World has extended the hours for Hollywood Studios from 9 PM to 10 PM on June 5th through 7th. We’re not sure if this is because it’s the last day for Muppet*Vision 3D, but you’ll have one extra hour to enjoy the attraction before it goes away forever.

On June 8th, we imagine construction walls might be going up around the entire area as Disney starts working on converting that space into a new Monsters, Inc. land. This new land will bring a new ride to Hollywood Studios which will be the first suspended roller coaster in a Disney park.

Muppets fans need not worry, though, because they’re not gone FOREVER from Hollywood Studios. They’ll be moving over to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster when that ride gets a Muppets re-theme.

We’ll be keeping an eye out for construction updates on the new Monsters, Inc. land, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
