After 20 years, Disneyland is showing the door to one of its most beloved attractions.
With new expansion plans underway, the Anaheim, California theme park announced ‘Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!’ will close in early 2026 to make way for two new attractions.
Following the story of the 2001 Pixar film, the ride opened at Disneyland in December 2005, allowing fans to visit some of their favorite characters in Monstropolis.
In the fall, Disneyland will begin construction on an attraction themed around Pixar’s Coco, which will be located near Paradise Gardens Park and Pixar Pier, while an Avatar experience is also in development to go in the current Hollywood Backlot area in Disney California Adventure, plus new attractions coming to the Avengers Campus.
The expansion plans also include a new parking structure that will add around 6,000 spaces, as well as a transportation hub that will improve traffic flow with shuttle and rideshare areas.
The announcement comes amid Disneyland’s 70th anniversary festivities, which are currently running through summer 2026.
