Walt Disney World will host a special celebration on June 10, 2025, giving Disney’s Hollywood Studios Cast Members the final opportunity to experience Muppet*Vision 3D before it permanently closes. The event will serve as a farewell to the Grand Avenue area, which will soon be transformed into the new Monsters, Inc.-themed land, Monstropolis.

According to internal communications, the Cast-exclusive event will include not only a final screening of Muppet*Vision 3D, but also games and other themed activities as a way to celebrate the legacy of the area and honor those who have worked in it.

The celebration follows the June 7 public closure of Muppet*Vision 3D and PizzeRizzo. Cast Members will effectively be the last guests to enjoy the beloved 3D attraction, which first opened in 1991 and was the final project personally overseen by Jim Henson.

The last day to experience MuppetVision 3D and dine at PizzeRizzo will be June 7, 2025. MuppetVision 3D, which has been a fan-favorite since its debut in 1991, will make way for the Monstro Theater, a new attraction that Disney says will bring the humor and excitement of Monsters, Inc. to life.

Disney has previously said that "As we move forward with these changes, we are having creative conversations and exploring ways to preserve the film and other parts of the experience for fans to enjoy in the future."

Yeah we could see after Villains Land opens in the future, maybe they could move the Villains show there and put Muppets in Sunset then.

Part of me is hoping its just because Villians just opened there so it's not "Well Villians was only here for like a month before re-installing MuppetVision over here", but the more realistic part of my brain feels like it's because they're not relocating it and MV3D is just gone forever.

The thing I don't get about relocating to Sunset: if that is the plan then why wouldn't they just announce that to begin with? The fact that Muppets are taking over RnRC, and that they announced both at the same time, suggests they knew closing MuppetVision would be an unpopular move with fans. If they're going to bring back MV anyway, why not just say that at the outset?

Unless it is relocated to another location in the park, any other “preservation” is meaningless. This is a Disney park attraction that needs to be experienced live.

I just hope it’s not only going to be preserved though VR. As someone who doesn't have a VR headset and doesn’t plan on buying one, hopefully the show will be watchable in another format.

I kinda think it’s in disneys back pocket as an easy Hail Mary if/when they need it. Like quietly they can be working on it and announce it if something gets a lot of backlash or smth to help divide focus. I’m still convinced that’s what they did for HEA, it was a super easy back pocket reserve thing that was guaranteed to make people happy

I really don’t typically buy into the ideas of things like relocations happening. But there is one thing that does make me really wonder if it is gonna happen and it’s how chill everyone associates with Henson has appeared to be about it. We’ve not heard any relatives, anyone from The Jim Henson Company, or anyone close to the Muppets speak about it in any big way, and even had someone from the company say he felt the Muppets were in good hands. I just can’t help but feel that if it was truly dead we’d have seen more of a reaction? Unless they all are just actually fine with it living only in VR.

DisneyDan put out his MuppetVision farewell video, but he did do some speculating on Muppet*Vision working at Sunset Showcase, such as the fact the Villains show using screens on the walls to do similar effects of the walls in Muppet Vision getting destroyed, and the fact that Sunset has almost the same seating capacity as Muppets did. I time stamped where Dan starts using both Mermaid and Villians as examples how Disney could put the Muppets back at Sunset (Dan states that with Mermaid using projections for some of the puppets, instead of AAs Disney could replace some of them with projections for example):
