Overview
- Construction to remake the former Muppet Courtyard into Monstropolis began in mid‑2025 and reuses existing buildings rather than building entirely new shells.
- Disney announced at D23 that Monstropolis will open in phases starting in 2027, with restaurants, shops and shows slated to debut before the major coaster.
- On‑site observers reported that scaffolding has been removed from The Glob Theater clock tower and that brickwork, a new crowning and revised facade details are now visible.
- Facades at the former Gonzo’s Royal Flush and PizzeRizzo locations are being updated as part of the land’s adaptive reuse strategy to speed guest offerings.
- Disney continues to build the door‑themed suspended coaster and expects work to run into 2028, so guests should expect early access to dining and entertainment before the headline ride opens.
