There are SO many changes going on around Disney World these days.

A new land is opening even MORE attractions in September, Magic Kingdom is expanding, and there’s a new hotel on the horizon. Over in Hollywood Studios, Monstropolis is slowly coming to life, and now 2 major changes show we are one step closer to experiencing the land!
Get ready to roar with excitment! If you’re a Monsters Inc. fan, you’re probably like us and you’ve been following every step of the Hollywood Studios construction. During our latest stop by the park, there were two major changes that had us squeeling with excitement. First, we spotted some new chompers in the area!

Construction in the land
On the building that was previously home to PizzeRizzo‘s (RIP), we noted some new detailing along the top of the building. We noticed new scrims along the building a few weeks ago and now it seems like we can tell what Disney is going to hide. The detailing along the top of the building looks like new monster teeth. The detailing is along the top of the building, around the windows, and above the bathroom entrance.

A closer look!
If you take a closer look at Disney’s concept art, you can see those chompers around the top of the building and (potentially) along the windows. This means we are seeing the concept art come to life in even the smallest ways, which is a sign we are getting closer to the land being complete.

The second major detail is over at Harryhausen’s! The new table service is inspired by the sushi restaurant from the film and it will even be complete with the famous facade. Those massive chopsticks from the film are standing tall!

THE CHOPSTICKS!
These chopsticks will eventually hold a large eyeball in between them, but nothing is staring at us…yet! The outside of the building is almost entirely hidden behind those construction walls, but these chop sticks seem like a huge milestone to us.

At the time of writing, Disney has yet to reveal an opening timeline for the land, but they have shared lots of details! The land will take place after the events of Monsters Inc. when Monstropolis is being fueled with laughter. The monsters have decided to welcome humans into the land and the first ever H.U.M.A.N. Day is upon us! This is better known as Humans Understand Monsters Are Nice Day.

The day is all about connecting and sharing Monster culture, which we will get to experience! Disney has shared, “Human guests will have the chance to explore the city, meet its citizens, taste unique cuisine, and step into the everyday world of monsters in a totally new way. For the first time, two worlds once separated are meeting face to scaly, furry, and fang-filled face – brought together not by screams, but by laughter.” The new land will house a first of its kind Monsters Inc. hanging coaster, a new show, and new dining locations.

We are seriously excited to see the new land come to life and we’re hoping we get even more info at this year’s D23 event in Anaheim! Be sure to keep following Magical Guides for more Disney news, updates, and more!
