Disneyland Resort experienced an unexpected disruption to one of its popular attractions, Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!, leading to a temporary closure of the ride. A recent guest report reveals that the ride was halted after a child exited the vehicle during the course of the attraction, prompting a safety shutdown and evacuation. While no serious injuries were reported, the event has left guests questioning the ride’s future.
Incident Details and Ride Evacuation
The incident unfolded when a guest shared that “We were just evacuated from the Monsters Inc. ride with show building lights on because a kid was completely out of the ride vehicle.” In response, Disneyland cast members quickly evacuated riders, ensuring safety protocols were followed while the ride’s system was reset. The guest also overheard cast members mentioning that it was possible the child had been intentionally lifted out of the ride vehicle by a parent and placed on the back of the vehicle.
Though the specific details surrounding the incident are still unclear, this type of situation necessitates immediate action to safeguard both the guests and the ride. The ride was temporarily shut down for the reset, with cast members working swiftly to restore operations and ensure the attraction was safe to resume.

Monsters Inc.’s Future
Along with the incident, an overheard comment from a cast member added fuel to the fire of speculation about the ride’s long-term future. The cast member reportedly said, “It’s an old ride that won’t be here much longer, so it takes a while to restart.” This comment comes with the news that Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! is getting a permanent closure in early 2026.
The ride, based on the popular Monsters Inc. franchise, has been a hit with families, offering an immersive and lighthearted adventure through the monster-filled world. However, with new developments and shifting priorities in Disney California Adventure, Disney has decided to move forward with new attractions.
After the temporary shutdown and subsequent system reset, Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! has resumed normal operations. As the park continues to evolve, it’s clear that some attractions may need to make way for new experiences. While Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! continues to entertain guests. For now, guests can continue to enjoy the ride, but they should remain attentive to updates from Disneyland Resort. As always, the focus will remain on ensuring guest safety and delivering the magic that Disneyland is known for.
