CONFIRMED: We Are Getting HUGE Monsters Inc. Land News on August 15th

We have been patiently (okay, not so patiently) awaiting more news on a MAJOR change coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Disney FINALLY gave us new information about the upcoming Monsters Inc. Land, and we are getting seriously excited about what’s to come. One thing we noticed in their big announcement? A few hints about when we could get MORE major news.

In case you missed it, Disney gave us some BIG information about Monstropolis in Hollywood Studios. They finally revealed the story behind the land by saying, “Monstropolis — the monster city now powered by laughter — is getting ready to give humans a glimpse of what’s been hidden from their world for generations. Which raises an interesting question: if humans were never meant to enter the monster world … why are the doors finally opening to us?”

After Mike and Sulley have discovered that laughter is more powerful than screams, they’re bringing on a city-wide shift by introducing H.U.M.A.N. Day, or “Humans Understand Monsters Are Nice” Day! The way monsters and humans view each other has changed, so the monsters formed the Department of Human Relations to help build a relationship between the two groups.

Disney shared the adorable news in a newspaper-style graphic from the Monstropolis Horn. As we were searching through the details of the paper, we noticed something very specific hidden away at the top. At the very top of the paper, there are two sections. One states, “Local Restaurants Comment on New Menu Development,” and the other says, “Glob Theater Show Begins Rehearsals Ahead of H.U.M.A.N. Day.” Below both of these, we noticed that it says Page 8, Col. 15.

Disney mentioning this twice definitely made our spidey sense tingle because they do everything intentionally. What takes place on August 15th (8/15), oh, only something called the Disney Experiences Showcase! If you don’t know what that is, it’s arguably the biggest aspect of the D23 Expo in Anaheim. This is the panel where Disney reveals massive announcements about things like the Disney theme parks worldwide, Disney Cruise Line expansions, and new immersive experiences.

In the past, this is when they’ve revealed major news like the upcoming Villains Land, Piston Peak, the Beak and Barrel, the reimagined Test Track, Geo-82, and even the Monsters Inc. Land! So it’s safe to say, this is typically when Disney drops their biggest park announcements. We think there’s no way that they just HAPPENED to write 8-15 on the newspaper twice without doing it on purpose.

Disney is a bit like Taylor Swift these days because they love dropping hints and Easter Eggs! That’s why we think this is so intentional. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for an opening date or at least an opening timeline for Monstropolis. While we won’t know for sure until August 15th, we can at least daydream (or be delusional) until then. As always, be sure to keep following DisneyFoodBlog for more Disney news, updates, hints, and more.
