Disneyland Files Nine Demolition Permits to Clear Hollywood Land’s Monsters, Inc. Site

The move signals a shift to ground-up rebuilding under the Disneyland Forward plan.

Overview

  • City of Anaheim records show nine plan‑check demolition permits tied to Disney California Adventure’s Hollywood Land.
  • Documents identify the Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! show building and the nearby Hollywood Lounge for full teardown.
  • The permits cover structural demolition, site grading, temporary construction walls, and rerouting of underground utilities, which points to deep site prep for new foundations.
  • Disney has not announced a replacement, with outside coverage describing Avatar or Zootopia concepts as unconfirmed possibilities.
  • Former Imagineer Jim Shull and other observers say total demolition suggests a large new show building and a multi‑year construction zone that will reshape that corner of the park.
