Would it be possible to place a modified MV into the underutilized Mickey Shorts Theater or even Sunset Showcase? I suppose the ROI wouldn’t be high enough, though.

Personally, I just dont see how it would/could be the same... the MV theater is so purpose built and has so many built in effects... I'd be shocked if Disney would modify that theater sufficiently to retain all of those effects... then there are all the visual gags in the queue... again, I just don't see a world where those visual gags make the move..

Certainly possible. It’s probably a little small seating wise to accommodate the current crowds. They probably wouldn’t do all the AA’s - probably just film them and put them on screens on either side.

It wouldn’t be the same but it would at least be something.

Exactly. Get the anger out all at once. It’s like when my parents got us kids together and Mom said, “we don’t have anything to make for dinner tonight and your father and I are getting divorced.”

I barely even noticed dinner was cereal that night week.
Now if it's muppets they will have TWO waves of negative news when it could have just been one. On the flip side though if it's AC they will have TWO waves of positive news.

It certainly is a tight to the chest secret. This attractions location shouldn’t be a big deal, but they’re digging their own tomb with the radio silence. I wish we could just know already.

i now genuinely think they don’t have a plan.
The plan was most likely muppets, hence the reason it wasn't announced at the presentation. They didn't want to suck the air out of what is a great ride announcement for the studios. If it was animation courtyard, we absolutely know the day of the announcement or the day after.

They've now received significant pushback and I think it threw them for a loop. I don't think they figured people actually care about the Muppets still. So in my opinion this delay in where monsters inc is going, screams of panic mode. It's either they're rethinking where it's going. Or getting their ducks in a row for huge PR spin job to mitigate the terrible press they're probably going to get.

Agreed. Hopefully, it is that they’re moving it into AC and just want to cross their Ts and dot their Is once they determine exactly what must close since they won’t touch Mermaid.

Can't they just move the Little Mermaid show to the Mickey Shorts Theater or the Frozen Sing-Along?

And if they're so insistent on keeping it, can we replace the Little Mermaid ride in the Magic Kingdom to avoid redundancy?

Why is Mermaid even a problem? The facade on the right side isn’t especially inconsistent with the Monsters theme, and they could just add some additional plantings, kiosks, or themed barriers on that side of the courtyard. If they’re feeling more ambitious, shift the marquee a bit so that it exclusively faces away from the courtyard instead of straddling the corner. It doesn’t seem like a big impediment.

The delay could mean a number of things:

  1. They didn't know where it was going at the time of the announcement and have not yet decided.
  2. They thought it was going to Muppets Courtyard and are now reconsidering
  3. It's going in Muppets Courtyard and a replacement Muppets attraction is in the works but not ready to be green lit yet.
  4. People who would have to be relocated at either location have not yet been contacted and they need to go through that process before announcing it to the public.
  5. Disney is tone deaf and generally takes one step forward and two steps back.
