Disney has announced the final dates of operation for MuppetVision 3D, PizzeRizzo, and Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano, ahead of transforming the area into a new Monsters, Inc.-themed land.
Closing Dates Announced for MuppetVision 3D, PizzeRizzo, and Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano

The various closures in the section of Grand Avenue largely themed to The Muppets will soon close to make way for the previously announced Monsters, Inc. land. The new area will include a suspended coaster recreating the door vault scene from the Pixar film, as well as shopping, dining, and a new theater show.
Grand Avenue will begin closing these areas in phases to make way for the new land. The last day to dine at Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano will be May 10, 2025. MuppetVision 3D and PizzeRizzo will follow soon after with their last day of operation on June 7.
The Muppets’ antics won’t completely come to an end, as Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and more of their friends will be moving over to Sunset Boulevard to take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster — marking the first Disney ride to ever feature The Muppets.
Disney shared that “new tunes” will be part of this attraction, along with “plenty of Muppets-themed merchandise” on Sunset Boulevard. While no closure date has been confirmed for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, Disney continues to press that guests will have plenty of time to catch one last super-stretch limo before it rides off into the sunset.
Disney has previously stated that they are “having creative conversations and exploring ways to preserve” MuppetVision 3D, along with “other parts of the experience for fans to enjoy in the future.” The Jim Henson Company also shared a statement on the attraction’s closure in late 2024.
