With (almost) every Disney World land, character, and attraction come souvenirs — apparel, accessories, collectibles, stuffies; You name it, they’ve got it! And a lot more souvenirs are on their way with the opening of several new areas next year, including Monstropolis, the new Monsters, Inc-themed land coming to Hollywood Studios.

Since the announcement, Disney has dropped quite a bit of concept art for the land, and we spotted what looks like their next best souvenir in a recent piece! Let’s check it out!

With all of the concept art that Disney releases, we always do a deep dive and look closely at all of the details within the piece for hints into what’s coming to the land, and there has been a recurring theme in a couple of concept arts: Guests holding Randall. The purple villain from the movies (Boo’s monster) is seen being held by guests.

First, we see a guest holding Randall in the pre-show room of “Welcome to Monstropolis,” the show in the Glob Theater. This area is themed as a concession area, so could this be a hint at a new sipper? Maybe one of his head fronds will act as the straw!

We also see a guest holding Randall outside of the Glob Theater. Maybe it’s not a sipper… It could be a plushie! And what an adorable plushie that would be. Along with this possible Randall sipper/plushie, we’d expect Disney to release new shirts, pins, and other merchandise when the land opens.

While souvenirs are AWESOME, let’s also talk about what you can expect to find in the land when it opens, starting with the already mentioned “Welcome to Monstropolis” theater show.

This show will be hosted by Mike and Sulley themselves. According to Chris Beatty, Vice President of Walt Disney Imagineering, “Sulley has been working on a small, homespun show, but Mike – ever the showman – has a few surprises up his sleeve that he thinks will bring down the house. Hopefully not literally.”

Several restaurants are coming to the land, including the quick-service location of Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza. This quick-service restaurant will feel like a beloved pizza spot where generations of monster college students gathered with friends after class. 

Harryhausen’s will serve as the land’s table-service restaurant and will feature a large animatronic of the Chef! Michael Hundgen, Vice President Creative, mentioned that the menu will be “unlike anything else we offer at Walt Disney World,” and also confirmed that it will serve more than simply sushi.

And although it will not open with the land in 2027, Monstropolis will be home to a roller coaster inspired by the Vault scene inside the Monsters, Inc. Factory with the swinging doors. The attraction will be Disney’s first-of-its-kind suspended coaster and will lift guests 40 feet into the air in four seconds. Several other places have been announced as well, including the Scareporium shopping location and the Monsters University Alumni Club.

Disney has not officially announced any of the merchandise coming to this land, but the concept art could hint at some! We’ll keep you updated with everything announced, so stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more Disney World news, updates, tips, and tricks!
