Overview
- Disney announced the narrative for the Monsters, Inc. land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, framing the land around a city-wide shift called H.U.M.A.N. Day and an in-world Department of Human Relations to welcome human guests into Monstropolis.
- The company confirmed immersive, franchise-authentic locations inside the land, including Harryhausen’s restaurant and the Glob Theater, but gave no public opening date for the project.
- Disneyland Resort published its Halloween Time calendar and programming, scheduling Halloween Time from August 21 through October 31 and returning Plaza de la Familia through November 2 with a Coco-themed storytellers troupe.
- Disneyland also announced new Oogie Boogie Bash offerings including a Haunted Mansion–themed street show called Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake, and DFB reported that a recently used virtual queue has disappeared.
- The Monstropolis announcement is part of a broader parks strategy by Walt Disney Imagineering and Pixar that emphasizes large-scale land reworks, seasonal overlays, and operational changes, with major construction and refinements expected to continue into 2027.
