The Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, is home to some of the most beloved and cherished theme park rides and attractions in the entire world. From exhilarating adventures in the dark on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT to encountering deadly dinosaurs on DINOSAUR in Animal Kingdom, Guests will find fun and magic around every corner.

The most recent addition to the Resort can be found in Magic Kingdom, right next to the iconic Space Mountain. TRON Lightcycle/Run is Disney’s newest roller coaster and has been a big hit among Guests since opening early in 2023.

However, just as Disney opens up new experiences, some older ones shut their doors, which is exactly what happened at Dsney’s Hollywood Studios today.

For years, Guests could meet Mike and Sully from Disney and Pixar’s classic animated film Monsters Inc (2001) at the movie-themed Park. However, this meet and greet closed for good on April 30, 2023, with April 29 being the last day Guests could meet these loveable characters.

Inside the Magic reported on this closure earlier this week, and now, the experience is officially gone.

The meet-n-greet was located in Animation Courtyard near Walt Disney Presents. At this time, we are not sure if Disney plans on bringing this meet and greet back to the Park.

In the meantime, Guests can still enjoy all there is to do at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, including visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge or Toy Story Land. Guests can also brave the daunting Twilight Zone Tower of Terror or Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at the end of Sunset Boulevard.
