Likely, I think the main area in Muppets Courtyard thought for Monsters Inc is the back half where Mama Melrose, Studio 1 Store and the old Xmas shop is.

There are monster-themed cars in the concept art. I'd be okay with a light retheme using those cars. But I think this will be a pretty budget-conscious project, so I'm not expecting it.

It would be pretty cool if they updated the video with “monster movies.” I’d love to see some horror movie clips with Monsters afraid of humans. Throw in some fake ads for Monsters Inc., Monsters University, Harryhausens, and the CDA and you’ve got a great low-cost upgrade.

Let’s be frank. We’d all be fine if they moved it, as long as it could carry on. Not so bothered about the rest of the Muppet space surrounding it.
If putting Monsters in Animation Courtyard scuppers their plans for another further cool land/attraction we don’t know about yet, then put it where Muppets is - but just ensure us you’re moving MV3D to a new permanent home.
You’ve a few places to move it that fans will be just fine with.
I am looking forward to the Monsters Inc land as much as anybody, and wouldn’t want them to compromise what they’ve planned to fit it in an area that’s their second choice. Build the best Monsters land you can, and move Muppets. It can’t be that difficult.
You could even make fun of the move in the pre-show.

Let's be honest with ourselves, they aren't gonna move it. It's either it stays or get's bulldozed.

Why not use animators courtyard for the coaster area, then you have mermaid and Disney Junior buildings for 1 dark ride like a hide and seek monster ride and then move laugh floor there in the other building. Now you have 2 more building for another nice expansion in Tomorrowland at MK (stitch and monsters). Seems good to me and really, what did you lose?

There actually is only one thing I can see being moved in a very budget conscious way as well. The show that has that unique honor is...The Laugh Floor over in MK.

He is an honest broker. He laments the loss of Maelstrom, which is wild because he is featured in its replacement!
That said, Disney seems to be uninterested in the Muppet input of Frank Oz, another Disney Legend, so not sure how this affects things sadly
This whole thing is such an unnecessary self-inflicted wound. Is Disney really this clueless about their fans? Did they put the same people in charge of the TBA ride through video in charge of this PR quagmire they created?

If they did it this way you could actually have a real Pixar neighborhood by connecting it with TSL. If you really wanted to you could even retheme RnR to Incredibles down the line whenever the Aerosmith agreement is up and then you have a pretty massive Pixar district. Would make more sense than having the Pixar areas all separated

If it's muppets...I refuse to believe it's not because it's because they have good reason. it's prime real estate in a land locked park for a future expansion.
Again, I don't want Muppets to go but it's something to think about. I also doubt Disney wants to remove another people eater in the time it takes to build Monstropolis. Animation Courtyard also makes a formal Pixar "side" of the park. It becomes even stronger if RnR is rethemed.

That's another thing, when can this thing realistically open? Are they going to hamstring the studios for years?

At earliest late 2027, early 2028. I don’t see it opening before Christmas 2028

I'm not sure. That's an added labor cost employing all those people working there. They close it down for the work, they are saving in that respect.

6 years from now minimum in my opinion that is 2030.

And I think that timeline is much longer going in AC vs muppets for what it’s worth. Demo’ing backstage stuff is gonna take a lot longer than knocking down stuff in the muppets area

Considering how aggressive they are being with these start times I wouldn't be surprised if prep work started already on Cars, Monsters, and possibly Villains. Just behind the scenes so we don't see them. Oh, and the likelihood I believe is the order I put them in.

Everything we have heard is they are actually still fighting about where Monsters is going to go, so I can't imagine that has started. I actually think Tropical America will be the first to get under way if I had to guess.
