Let’s be clear about what’s happening here:
A classic, long, well-written, historically significant, AA-heavy attraction that magnificently showcases its IP is being replaced with a short, likely screen-heavy ride of a type Disney has significantly overbuilt recently, a ride that will poorly represent the core of its IP.
The fact that this stupid idea has been kicking around in fan circles for over a decade has somewhat muted the response, but this is one of the worst ideas WDW has ever had.
And all of this is exacerbated by the fact that a much better model for a Monsters ride has existed in Tokyo for years.

I think you don’t think like Disney execs think.
(That’s a bittersweet compliment, by the way)

Monsters Inc laugh floor is humans looking into a portal of the monsters world, how would it make sense to put it inside the monsters world when you are already there.
No way would it end up in this land. Actually this land make the attraction useless and redundant

It was early in the morning before the Parks Blog had said anything about replacing vs green field development.
The "portal" was only there to justify inclusion in Tomorrowland. Besides, it's not like the attraction couldn't be rewritten, fwiw.

To Disney, Animation Courtyard isn’t a desolate wasteland. Its office space and yes that is very much given heavy consideration.

WASTELAND? I think you mean WONDERLAND!
With something Star Wars in it. That's worth noting as well.

Oh I gotcha
But you know the play in Orlando these days…”clever” replacements to offset…hedging
Not addressing capacity either…you know the angle there.

Same. I love the Muppets and Mama Melrose is our favorite spot to eat. I am devastated by this news
Hey, since multiple people have refuted or alluded to this rumor, is it ok if I make a thread on it?
Pretty sure Mickey Views has it on his bingo card.

One truth this whole thing illustrates is that theme park fans are pretty good at determining when and where something needs to be fixed (the Animation Courtyard graveyard, the terrible Imagination pavilion, Magic Kingdom capacity, etc) but are usually dreadful at determining how to fix it or at imagining new attractions.

I'm cool with it.
Done. I credited you, along with other people associated with the rumor, in it.
