Overview
- Walt Disney Imagineering filed a Notice of Commencement for the address of the former Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
- The permit lists PCL Construction Services, Inc. for “General Construction,” indicating that site and interior work are beginning.
- The longtime restaurant, which closed earlier this year, will be transformed into Harryhausen’s as part of the new Monsters, Inc.–themed land.
- The nearby Muppet Theater is being reimagined into The Glob Theater for a Monsters, Inc. stage show, with PCL leading that project as well.
- Disney materials describe Monstropolis as adding Harryhausen’s, The Glob Theater, and a “flying door” coaster, and the timeline remains unannounced as some reporting cites an unconfirmed 2027 target.
