Monstropolis Takes Shape at Hollywood Studios
Published October 31, 2026
Disney’s construction crews are continuing work on Monstropolis at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, according to aerial-photo reports published Saturday, October 31, 2026. As of Saturday, October 31, the visible work includes the central fountain area, concrete foundations and monster-themed building façades in the former Muppets Courtyard.
The photos show activity across several parts of the construction site rather than a single isolated feature. Additional work around the fountain is among the visible changes, alongside preparation of the pathways through the area.
Concrete foundations and building exteriors are also part of the update. The close-up aerial views show the former courtyard’s ongoing transformation, but the report does not establish how much work remains on those individual elements.
The update comes from reported aerial imagery, rather than an official Disney construction announcement. It documents physical progress; it does not establish a guest opening timeline or confirm when the pathways, fountain or buildings will be finished.
What we know
- Monstropolis at Disney’s Hollywood Studios — construction continues in the former Muppets Courtyard.
- Central fountain area — additional surrounding work is visible in the aerial photos.
- Concrete foundations — construction is visible within the developing area.
- Monster-themed building façades — exterior work continues.
- Pathways — crews continue preparing routes through the site.
Disney has not confirmed a completion date for these specific construction elements in this reported update. There is also no opening date established by the aerial-photo report, so the visible progress should not be treated as an opening announcement.
What it means for your trip
Leave Monstropolis out of the attractions you are counting on for a booked Hollywood Studios day; these photos establish construction progress, not guest access. If Monstropolis is your main reason for choosing travel dates, wait for an official opening announcement before committing money around its availability. For an existing trip, build your Hollywood Studios itinerary around operating attractions rather than reserving time for the developing area.
