In a possible mistake, the new guest guidemap for Disney’s Hollywood Studios have been released a day early, including the new version of the park without MuppetVision 3D or PizzeRizzo.
New Hollywood Studios Guidemap without MuppetVision 3D
Today, June 7, is officially the last day of operation for both MuppetVision 3D and PizzeRizzo at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Most of the area that is currently Grand Avenue is set to become Monstropolis from “Monsters Inc.” The normal procedure for the Walt Disney World parks is that following an attraction closure, a new guidemap is released the next day without the attraction to avoid guest confusion. However, it now appears the updated map without the Muppets locations has been released early.
The new map has art on the front of Maleficent in her outfit from the recently-debuted show, “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After.”
For comparison, above is an image of the old, or rather current, park map. This guidemap has a picture of guests standing in front of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith. Ironically, Disney just announced earlier today that this attraction will be closing for its Muppets retheme in 2026.
The folds on the opposite sides both appear to be normal, with the usual text outlining park rules and transportation.
While not new, the bottom of this back fold does include a liability note that “Parks, attractions, and other offerings subject to availability, closures, weather conditions, and change or cancellation without notice or liability.”
The layout of the new map remains relatively unchanged from the old Disney’s Hollywood Studios version, though the list of attractions and locations on the right has likely been spaced out a little wider to cover the missing spots.
Looking closer at the actual park image, however, we can see that the streets of the park now look very different. The left side of the park now appears much thinner, with Grand Avenue being only a tiny section of street between Commissary Lane and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Grand Avenue, at least until tonight, is the home of both MuppetVision 3D and PizzeRizzo. The new map has removed both locations and shows the whole left area of Grand Avenue as plain trees. Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano, which was also located in the Grand Avenue section of the park, closed permanently last month.
Moving to the land description, the only numbered locations in Grand Avenue are now Ice Cold Hydraulics Hosted by Coca-Cola and BaseLine Tap House as numbers 26 and 27, respectively.
As of right now, the new map is only available at Once Upon a Time, the store located on Sunset Boulevard.
The older version of the map with both MuppetVision 3D and PizzeRizzo is still available everywhere else, including the front of the park. This makes it more likely that the early release of the new map was a mistake rather than a planned release, and it is possible this new map will get pulled later in the day.
