We recently got some major updates about Monstropolis, the new land themed to Monsters, Inc. Disney has revealed the backstory of the land and some of the offerings, including Harryhausen’s restaurant and The Glob Theater. But there’s still so much left to learn, and construction progress has been fascinating. Now, we’ve got a look to share behind those construction walls!
These days, it feels like things are always changing in Walt Disney World! There are tons of new projects underway like Disney’s new Villains Land, Piston Peak land, Monsters Inc. Land, and more.

Each week, it feels like Disney is spilling new information and details for us to dissect. That’s why we like to do a weekly wrap-up of the biggest news so you don’t miss a single thing. Let’s dive into this week’s latest and greatest Disney news and trust us — this week was a BIG ONE!
When we say it’s been an eventful week in Disney World, we mean that we got close to lying down on a bench in the park and sleeping for approximately 14 hours, but we couldn’t, because in EVERY park, there was something new.
The Magic of Disney Animation in Walt Disney Studios
It was well worth it, though, in our opinion. Getting to be there for the opening day of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, Bluey’s Wild World, as well as the official openings of Jessie’s Roundup, Soarin’ Across America, The Walt Disney Studios, and more? Yep, it was an unforgettable week. Now that things have slowed down a bit, though, if you’re visiting the parks this week, you need to know that there are, unfortunately, still many attractions around the parks that are closed and unavailable to experience.
