Overview
- The four permits, filed Friday by Walt Disney Imagineering, name Icarus Exhibits to “install set elements” for the Monsters, Inc. land.
- The filings cover the former Muppet*Vision 3D theater, PizzeRizzo, Mama Melrose’s, and the cleared Stage 1 Company Store area in the old Muppets Courtyard.
- The scope indicates interior and facade theming is starting, with the Stage 1 site likely getting streetscape work or a small pavilion pictured in concept art, according to reporters.
- Reporting links the theater’s overhaul to a Monsters, Inc. headquarters and “Scream Floor” queue for the suspended Door Coaster, though Disney has not announced final experiences.
- This step follows a March 5 permit that listed Adirondack Studios for theater interior sets, and outlets note the show phase often precedes openings by 12 to 18 months, making late 2027 a frequently cited but unconfirmed window.
