food IS a theme park
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is a biannual expo where Disney announces major news for its theme parks. In 2026, it took place from August 14th-16th, and it brought us all kinds of updates!

We got a sneak peek of several new theme park expansions, and this Monstropolis update caught our eye!
There might be no one more excited for Monstropolis to come to Hollywood Studios than me! This has been one of my favorite Disney movies, and when I heard that Muppets Courtyard was closing, I shed a few tears and said hello to Monsters, Inc.!

We’re out in Anaheim, California for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event from August 14th through the 16th — but we showed up a little early for a special media preview where Disney just gave us a sneak peek of the new Monsters, Inc.-themed land. Hold onto your hard hats — this is going to be good!
The new Disney Adventure cruise ship is full of new restaurants we’ve never experienced before, as this ship is TOTALLY different than any others in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, and we made it our mission to try as many of them as possible on our recent sailing!
Mike & Sulley’s Flavors of Asia
One of the new restaurants on board is Mike & Sulley’s Flavors of Asia, which is inspired by Harryhausen’s, the posh restaurant where Mike Wazowski takes Celia Mae on a date. This spot offers up four distinct Japanese dining experiences, including From Sushi to Steak and Beyond (similar to hibachi style) and A Taste of Harryhausen’s. We were so thrilled to step foot into this new spot, and let’s just say, it very much took us by surprise!
The last time we saw Mike and Sulley from Monsters, Inc., we were transported to their time at Monsters University where they first learned all about the fine art of scaring children.

But as we know, at the end of the first Monsters movie, Monsters, Inc., Mike and Sulley discovered that the power of laughter was far better at powering their world than scares. But what happened after that?
With the Halloween season rolling in, there are plenty of spooky treats around the parks.

It almost seems as though Disney is releasing new ears every week. And while they’re all adorable…THESE are my new favorite ears…I mean horns…
Sulley Ears
I mean just take a look at these SULLEY ears that we spotted at Disneyland today!
They’re COLORFUL and FURRY just like our favorite friend “Kitty!” from Monsters, Inc.! The ears are covered in Sulley’s blue and purple spots, and the “horns” also seem to shimmer! ….So stinking adorable. And they’re so different from typical Disney ears, which I love.
