Disney4me Posted Saturday at 04:00 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:00 PM Just in case you didn’t know, Disney World recently announced they would be permanently closing a classic section of Hollywood Studios. Muppets Courtyard Yes, we’re talking about the fact that we’ll have to say goodbye to the entirety of Muppets Courtyard! Now of course the main focus since the announcement is our lament over losing the iconic Muppets 3D show, but there’s more to Muppets Courtyard than just that one attraction. There are restrooms, shops, and more that will need to either be re-themed or just permanently shut down. And while we’re at it, how come no one is talking about the fact that with this announcement that Monsters, Inc. land is taking over the soon-to-be-former Muppet Courtyard area, Disney has also confirmed that two (2) restaurants in the area are permanently closing?! As we were saying, the Muppets Courtyard will be closing in Hollywood Studios so that work on the brand new Monsters, Inc. land can begin. We do know that with this new land, there will be a brand-new ride based on the doors scene in the first Monsters, Inc. film. ©Disney They’ve also announced that there will be a NEW theater show as part of this re-theme, plus shopping and dining options as well. ©Disney Speaking of dining options, this means that we are going to see the permanent closures of not one, but two restaurants in Hollywood Studios – PizzeRizzo… PizzeRizzo …and Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano. Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano Now, at the moment, we don’t have any indication as to what the restaurant will be called that will be replacing PizzeRizzo. When we zoom into the concept art, we can see the building and a billboard with Mike, Sulley, and the logo on it that says, “We’re Monsters, Inc.” So, for now, we have no idea as to what the menu could be, but it would be fun trying to imagine some sort of monster pizza. ©Disney If we move towards the top of the concept art, close to the new attraction, we can see in the place where Mama Melrose’s currently sits, appears to be Harryhausen’s Restaurant – the very same restaurant Mike Wazowski takes Celia Mae out on a date for her birthday. ©Disney While we’re sad to see Mama Melrose go, a sushi restaurant would make a great addition to Hollywood Studios! In the movie, you can see the monsters chowing down on eyeballs and sushi. But when it comes to the menu for this spot, it could includes appetizers such as Goo-Tofu, Vegetable Tempuki, Swill and Sour Soup, and Flab Cake. Harryhausen’s Menu There could also be a variety of sushi options like a Spider Roll, Carrion Katsu, Howling Hamachi, and more. Only time will tell what will actually make it on the menu.
