Things are getting really exciting over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s only a matter of months until Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster will reopen as Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring The Muppets. Animation Courtyard is getting a glow-up to become The Walt Disney Studios (which we LOVE because it’s a throwback to the Hollywood Studios we grew up with).

Of course, we have to mention the new Monsters, Inc. land that’s coming to the park, too, which we might be the MOST excited about (y’all, we finally get a ride based on the doors scene!!!). Well, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the construction of that land, and we have a huge update to share with you.
While 2026 is a big year for construction at Disney World’s theme parks, Disney Springs isn’t being left out!
LEVEL99 is coming to Disney Springs
Of course, change is a constant in the area, which has transformed from the Lake Buena Vista Shopping Village of the 1970s, to the Pleasure Island revitalization of the 80s, the Downtown Disney era of the 90s and 2000s, before settling into its current Disney Springs incarnation in 2016. So, what’s coming a decade later?

Rise of the Resistance is an incredible ride and one of the best attractions in the world…but it’s not flawless.
Stormtroopers in Rise of the Resistance
This popular trackless Star Wars ride is located at both Disneyland Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Galaxy’s Edge. It often draws long waits thanks to its immersive storytelling, innovative ride mechanics, thrills, and unforgettable set pieces.

This isn’t just limited to the parks, either. Nope, we found out this week that a current construction project will now take us all the way into 2027 (after it’s already been going on for what feels like FOREVER), and considering it’s one of the resort’s most expensive hotels to stay at? Yeah, people aren’t thrilled. There is a bit of good news, though — a popular EPCOT attraction reopened EARLY following an animatronic refurbishment, and now we’re thrilled we won’t be creeped out when we ride it anymore.
