Disney Investing $22.4 Million to Convert Former Muppet*Vision Theater for Monsters, Inc. Land

Public records outline extensive interior work, giving a rare look at scope and spending.

Overview

  • Central Florida Tourism Oversight District documents obtained by the Orlando Business Journal list approximately $22.4 million for the theater conversion at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
  • The filings describe interior demolition and installation of new structural and architectural elements within the existing show building.
  • The repurposed venue is planned as a Monsters, Inc.–themed theater experience, with concept art and reporting indicating the name “The Glob,” which Disney has not formally confirmed.
  • The theater project is part of a broader Monstropolis development that includes Disney’s first suspended roller coaster, which Imagineer Michael Hundgen said will use a vertical-lift loading system.
  • Disney has not announced an opening date, and the documents signal a multi-year build as crews continue behind construction walls, with the company noting some Muppet elements will be preserved or relocated.
