It’s officially happening! A new Monsters, Inc. land is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, bringing a brand new ride, new experiences, and SO much more to the park…and we are READY.

Disney has officially started to share TONS of news about the new land, including the most important thing of all…what restaurants will the new Monsters, Inc. land bring to Disney World? Because, as you know, we are ALL about the food. Well, we finally have an answer to that all-important question!

Monsters, Inc. land is currently being built where Muppets Courtyard used to be (and the Muppets moved over to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets). Disney just confirmed that an all-new restaurant will be a part of the new land.

After speculation from looking at concept art and thinking about what makes the most sense from the Monsters, Inc. movie, Disney has FINALLY announced that Harryhausen’s is 100% coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. That’s right, we’ll be able to eat from the iconic sushi restaurant pulled straight from the movie.

We thought that this could be coming to the new land, but to get confirmation that it officially is has us beyond excited. Disney hasn’t revealed much information on the restaurant other than the fact that it’s coming, but our minds can’t help but wander. What is the menu going to look like? Will there be really unique and weird dishes that only monsters would eat? Could there be an animatronic of the octopus chef? AHHHH, so many possibilities!

Disney dropped more details around the land, and in that, we found a clue! Up at the top, it says “Page 8, Col. 15,” and 8/15 (August 15th) happens to be the day of the Disney Experiences Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. Coincidence? I think not!

Disney had some more information to share about the land as a whole, like confirmation that the Glob Theatre will be coming. The theatre will take over the building that held Muppet*Vision 3D, based on the concept art, but that’s all we know about that attraction so far.

Monstropolis will also include Disney’s first-ever suspended roller coaster based on the doors scene in the first Monsters, Inc. movie (yes, it’s all we ever wanted). It will also have a theatrical show of some type, although we still don’t have many details on that.

You know Disney World and Disney Imagineering are all about immersing guests into the story. You don’t just show up somewhere; there’s a reason you’re there. Whether you’re the size of a toy or exploring a galaxy far, far away. Well, Disney shared the story behind why you’re in Monstropolis.

For forever, Monstropolis’ power ran on screams from humans. That all changed when Boo visited the monster world, and monsters discovered how much better laugh power is and that humans weren’t toxic to monsters. That led to the creation of the Department of Human Relations in Monstropolis, and the idea that for the first time ever, humans and monsters could come together.

So, the Department of Human Relations has decided to create H.U.M.A.N Day, short for “Humans Understand Monsters Are Nice”. Part celebration, part cultural exchange, the event is designed to introduce humans to life inside Monstropolis while helping monsters discover that humans are not so frightening after all.

Now that we know Harryhausen’s is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we have to be rocking the right outfit when we visit the restaurant, and it’s this Harryhausen’s Adult Tee! Here at DFB, we put together the perfect t-shirt for Monsters, Inc. fans, which features the legendary dining spot and the octopus chef.

Check out this t-shirt!

The shirt is designed to be a slim fit, but you can always size up if you prefer a looser-fitting t-shirt. You can get it in many different colors, so there’s definitely a style for you!
