Disney Files Monstropolis Set Permits for Former Muppets Courtyard

The filings indicate a pivot to visible theming.

Overview

  • New Walt Disney Imagineering permits name 359 and 361 Cypress Drive for set installation in the Monstropolis project at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
  • Adirondack Scenic, Inc. is listed to install “set elements,” meaning the detailed scenic pieces that form facades, interiors, and props guests see up close.
  • The permits carry a one‑year validity, signaling a move from groundwork to show-phase work that should bring more visible changes on site.
  • Mama Melrose’s Ristorante at 359 Cypress Drive is slated to be reimagined as Harryhausen’s from Monsters, Inc., while the Stage 1 Company Store at 361 Cypress Drive was demolished in July 2025.
  • Crews have already raised steel supports for a new coaster tied to the land, and Disney has not announced an opening date or full attraction lineup.
