New Doors Open for Monsters and Muppets at Hollywood Studios!

Guests should get ready to open the door because Mike and Sulley are coming to town! That’s right, humans will be able to enter the world of Monsters, Inc. when it is added to the south side of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Building off the exciting announcements from last summer’s D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, the new land will include the coaster we’ve all dreamed of – a suspended ride recreating the door vault scene – plus dining and shopping and a whole new theater show.

To make way for the monsters, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and more of their friends will be moving right along to Sunset Boulevard! But there’s more to the story: The Muppets will be taking over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, teaming up with some of music’s biggest stars for a rockin’ music festival!

In the meantime, there’s still enough time for guests to catch a super-stretch limo to the Forum to enjoy Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith and catch Muppet*Vision 3D again before their final curtain calls. More details to come next year!

How are you feeling about this announcement?! 🐸 🎸

Disney Treasure First Look: Haunted Mansion Parlor Materializes
The Haunted Mansion Parlor serves up spirited craft cocktails in a frightful lounge that resembles a first-class drawing room you would see on a classic cruise liner. And this one-of-a-kind lounge draws inspiration from the original Haunted Mansion, with a nautical twist, where guests are invited to the ghostly realm of a jovial sea captain and his strange, but captivating fiancé.

The Haunted Mansion Parlor is full of eerie experiences and design elements, including portraits that shift to reveal secrets of the captain and his bride-to-be, a mysterious aquarium with ghostly fish, and more frightfully fun details to discover. If you look near the fireplace, you’ll spot a statue of celebrated Disney Imagineer Rolly Crump that includes several tributes to his idea for a “Museum of the Weird,” including a melting face that resembles the “Candle Man,” his very first idea for the museum.

And, a ghost may even follow you home on your voyage… The Haunted Mansion Parlor mirror will offer a frightening surprise when the famous hitchhiking ghosts mysteriously appear in the frame.

For those of you with a home aesthetic which, ahem, screams “haunted ship,” you’re in luck! The Haunted Mansion Parlor will also offer exclusive merchandise, from commemorative mugs inspired by The Mariner and the captain’s fiancé to a nostalgic Haunted Mansion clock. These are all perfect keepsakes for Haunted Mansion fans to take home from the parlor.
