New Hollywood Studios Guidemap Leaps Ahead—Muppets Vanish Before Final Bow
Well, that escalated quickly.
In what seems like a case of Disney being a little too eager to move on, the new Disney’s Hollywood Studios guidemap has dropped a day early—and fans of the Muppets might want to brace themselves. The updated map already omits MuppetVision 3D and PizzeRizzo, even though both are still open (for one final day) until June 7, 2025. Talk about a curtain call before the curtain even falls!

This map switcheroo likely stems from something simple—like the park running out of the old maps and stocking the new batch early—but it’s still a surprising move, especially for those making a special trip to say goodbye to Kermit and the gang.
Goodbye Grand Avenue, Hello Monstropolis
The changes on the map are subtle but telling:
- MuppetVision 3D and PizzeRizzo are completely removed, replaced on the visual park layout with a nondescript cluster of trees.
- Grand Avenue is drastically reduced, now appearing as a narrow street connecting Commissary Lane to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
- Only two locations remain listed in the area: BaseLine Tap House (#27) and Ice Cold Hydraulics Hosted by Coca-Cola (#26).
For longtime fans, it’s a bittersweet sight. The iconic Muppet-themed attractions are already being erased from printed history before the physical demolition even begins. This update all but confirms how imminent the transformation to Monstropolis, the upcoming Monsters, Inc. land, really is.

A Villainous New Cover
In another nod to the park’s evolving entertainment offerings, the front cover of the new guidemap features Maleficent, styled in her ensemble from the Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After nighttime show. The rest of the map appears standard in layout and function, with the usual park policies, transportation info, and attraction listings—just with a little more breathing room now that Kermit and Rizzo have been ghosted.
So while today may still be the technical last day to enjoy the Muppets Courtyard, Disney’s printed materials suggest they’ve already turned the page—literally.
