It’s the end of an era at Disney’s Hollywood Studios—and Disney just added a twist to the finale.
MuppetVision 3-D has been entertaining guests for over 30 years with its off-the-wall humor, classic characters, and that signature Muppet chaos fans know and love. But now, the beloved 3D show is officially heading for the exit. The final day for guests to experience the attraction is set for June 7, and many longtime fans are planning one last visit to say goodbye.
For those unfamiliar, MuppetVision 3-D isn’t just another 3D movie with a few jokes thrown in. It’s one of the last pieces of creative work Jim Henson ever put his hands on—and the final project to feature his voice as Kermit the Frog. It’s part theater, part movie, part Muppet mayhem. And for years, it’s been the perfect mix of nostalgia and comfort tucked away on Grand Avenue.
But now comes a surprise: Disney is changing things up during MuppetVision 3-D’s final stretch. Typically, this show has closed earlier than the rest of the park—often shutting its doors before nighttime shows like Fantasmic! even begin. That’s been the pattern, especially in recent years. However, on its last day of operation, June 7, the attraction will stay open until park closing time.
That gives fans a rare opportunity to catch one final showing right before calling it a night—something they haven’t been able to do in a long time. It’s a small move, sure, but for the diehards who want that last memory to hit just right, it makes all the difference.
If you’re planning to be there on the final day, prepare for crowds. You won’t be the only one trying to soak up the final curtain call. Expect long waits, full theaters, and probably a few teary-eyed Muppet fans trying to keep it together through Fozzie’s banana cream pie joke.
A Show Worth Celebrating
There’s something wonderfully chaotic about MuppetVision 3-D that you just don’t find in modern theme park attractions. The show doesn’t take itself too seriously—and that’s the charm. It leans into slapstick, bad puns, musical numbers, and even breaks the fourth wall with Sweetums showing up live in the theater.
More than anything, it was a love letter to Jim Henson’s world. The show captured the soul of The Muppet Show in a way that no other attraction has ever done. It was never about dazzling tech or wild thrills—it was about heart, humor, and letting the Muppets be exactly who they are.
What’s Coming Next
With the Muppets making their grand exit, something big is taking their place. Disney has already announced plans for a brand-new Monsters, Inc.-themed land in the same area, giving guests the chance to explore the world of Mike, Sulley, and Roz in a whole new way.
One of the biggest features? A suspended roller coaster inspired by the iconic door vault scene from the original movie. Imagine zooming through the Monsters, Inc. factory on a track of doors, high above the ground. That’s what Disney is promising—along with immersive theming and plenty of monster-sized laughs.
Construction on the new land is expected to start shortly after MuppetVision 3-D* closes for good. And while there’s no opening date yet, the addition continues Hollywood Studios’ shift toward highly immersive, Pixar-driven experiences.
But even with all the excitement about what’s next, it’s okay to feel a little sad this week. MuppetVision 3-D* isn’t just another attraction—it’s a piece of theme park history. And for many fans, it’s one they’ll never forget.
So if you’re heading to the park this weekend, grab your 3D glasses, settle into that plush red seat, and enjoy one last salute to all nations—but mostly America. Because after June 7, it’s lights out for the Muppets at Hollywood Studios.
