Disney's Monstropolis Expansion Takes Shape
Disney has been quiet about its Monstropolis expansion in Hollywood Studios, but D23 weekend brought new details to light. A bulletin board display revealed four previously unannounced aspects of the theme park update.
The Glob Theater was on full display, and while Disney hasn't confirmed what will be housed within, a saxophone sticker hints at live music or a musical performance. The theater's exterior is a stunning addition to Monstropolis.
A detailed street art concept showcases the area from the Glob Theater to residential apartments that park-goers will one day stroll through. Post-It notes hint at various Monstropolis locations, including Mike and Sully's, Tony's Grossery, and Art's Gallery - potentially setting the stage for these as stores within Monsters, Inc. land.
A 'Hidden City Cafe' note was spotted on a Post-It, referencing an in-movie coffee shop where Mike and Sully frequently pass by. This could be a teaser for the new quick-service spot replacing PizzaRizzo. Disney has been tight-lipped about its plans but is expected to make official announcements at D23.
