New Permits Reveal Monstropolis Theming Details for Former Muppet Courtyard Locations

New Permits Reveal Monstropolis Theming Details for Former Muppet Courtyard Locations

New Monstropolis Permits Filed as Disney Begins Theming Work in Hollywood Studios

Something is definitely brewing behind the construction walls at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and this time, it’s not just dirt moving or foundations going in. Walt Disney Imagineering has now filed new permits that signal the next big step for the upcoming Monstropolis land, and it looks like we’re officially entering the theming phase.

New Permits Reveal Monstropolis Theming Details for Former Muppet Courtyard Locations


The permits were filed for two key locations along Cypress Drive, including the former Mama Melrose’s Ristorante and the now-demolished Stage 1 Company Store, also known to many as the Muppets Store. Both permits call for the installation of set elements, which is essentially Imagineering’s way of saying the world of Monsters, Inc. is about to start taking physical shape.


Bringing that vision to life is Adirondack Scenic, Inc., a company with a strong Disney résumé that includes work on attractions like Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. In other words, this is the team that helps turn blueprints into believable, immersive environments, and their involvement is a pretty strong sign that things are getting real.


One of the most exciting details tied to these permits is the transformation of the former Mama Melrose’s into Harryhausen’s, the iconic restaurant straight out of Monsters, Inc. If you’ve ever wanted to dine where Mike and Celia had their not-so-romantic dinner, this is your moment, just without the surprise of a certain one-eyed guest crashing the evening.


Meanwhile, the former Stage 1 Company Store location is expected to play a role in expanding the footprint of the land, following its demolition last summer. With both sites now moving into set installation, the bones of Monstropolis are about to get their personality.

The permits are valid for a year, giving Imagineering plenty of runway to build out the details that will bring this animated city to life. And if this phase is any indication, we’re getting closer to seeing doors, streets, and maybe even a few lurking laughs take over this corner of the park.


For now, the construction walls are still up, but behind them, Monstropolis is starting to feel a lot less like a concept and a lot more like a place you’ll soon be able to walk into.

The Mandalorian and Grogu Collection Arrives at Bath and Body Works

The Mandalorian and Grogu Collection Arrives at Bath and Body Works

Suit Up with the New Mandalorian and Grogu Collection from Bath and Body Works

This is the way to a completely refreshed home and body care routine. To honor the upcoming arrival of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu in theaters, Bath & Body Works is debuting a limited-edition line inspired by the famous bounty hunter and his young companion.

This debut represents the very first Star Wars collaboration for the brand, merging cinematic adventure with expert fragrance design. The result is a massive 26-product lineup including everything from body care and home scents to candles and unique collectible accessories. Each item takes its cue from the characters and their journey, aiming to transport your senses to a galaxy far, far away.

As enthusiasts of both the brand and the franchise, we were thrilled to dive into the details of what fans can expect to find on the shelves. Below is a look at the specific scents inspired by the duo, along with a few of the iconic accessories and home decor items that will be part of the launch.

When and Where to Secure the Collection

The Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu collection makes its debut on May 4th, specifically for Bath & Body Works rewards members. Following that early access, the full lineup will arrive in physical stores and at the official website for all shoppers starting on May 11th.

A global release is also scheduled for later in 2026, which will bring these galactic fragrances to fans all around the world. Since the timing falls right before Father’s Day, this collection is an ideal gift for the “guardians” and mentors in your own life—though we certainly won’t blame you if you decide to treat yourself to a few items instead.

Two Scents, One Iconic Duo

The heart of this new collection is built around two primary fragrances known as Force Flow and Bounty Hunter. Each one is meant to represent the unique relationship between Mando and Grogu, using the power of scent to capture their personalities and their travels through space.

Force Flow is a vibrant and fresh fragrance that is a great fit for the spring season. It features a blend of green apple, salted lavender, and cosmic sage to mirror Grogu’s sense of balance and curiosity. The scent feels very grounded but has a crispness from the apple that keeps things energetic, much like a quick getaway in a hover pram.

On the other hand, Bounty Hunter offers a more rugged and edgy profile that highlights the Mandalorian’s protective and resilient nature. Notes of Beskar sea salt, solar woods, and patchouli come together to create a bold, adventurous aroma. It is a great choice for anyone looking for a strong fragrance that still has a slightly softer side.

The design team at Bath & Body Works looked at everything from the environment to the emotions of the film to create these layered scents. Depending on your shopping list, you can find these fragrances in several formats like body spray, 3-in-1 body wash, cologne, 3-wick candles, and the famous gentle foaming hand soaps.

Galactic Accessories

In addition to the scents, this launch includes several functional and decorative accessories to add some Star Wars flair to your daily life. These items make it easy to display your fandom whether you are at home, in the office, or out and about.

Some of the stand-out accessories you can look for include a Mandalorian and Grogu PocketBac holder, a themed 3-wick candle pedestal, and a Mandalorian Wallflower heater to keep your space smelling great.

Loyalty-Exclusive Products Members of the Bath & Body Works rewards program will have access to even more exclusive magic. This includes a special scent called Ice Planet, which is available as a 3-wick candle and features notes of frozen cypress, glistening water, and amber to evoke the feeling of remote, snowy landscapes.

Rewards members can also get their hands on a few online-only collectibles designed with fans in mind. These include a Grogu Snacks collectible tin, a themed canvas bag, a character coin purse, and a very fun Mandalorian “extendable arm” PocketBac holder.

A Heroic Wish Comes True as Coen Meets Captain America at Disneyland Resort

Captain America Welcomes Coen for a Special Wish Visit at Disneyland

Captain America—specifically Sam Wilson—stepped off the screen and into real life for 9-year-old Make-A-Wish kid Coen during an unforgettable visit to the Disneyland Resort. For those who are brave, bold, and courageous, moments like these at Disney are legendary from the very start, but for Coen, the excitement hit all at once as he experienced a truly unreal encounter. During Disney’s Week of Wishes, Coen saw his favorite hero come to life when he met actor Anthony Mackie, creating a memory of a granted wish that he will cherish forever.

Captain america

“It felt crazy,” Coen said, still beaming. “I was so excited.” While the polished shield, positive attitude, and the “pretty cool vibranium wings” immediately stand out, it’s something deeper that draws him in. For Coen, Sam’s courage is what truly makes him a hero. 

That courage is what made the moment even more meaningful for Coen and his family. During a special Week of Wishes event held at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Coen was surprised when Mackie appeared before a stunned crowd and handed out an assortment of Super Hero action figures to kids, turning admiration into a beloved core memory for Coen and his loving family. 

att rIBvfGlKizuEGcisP RXAssTnpXbtYEo KUSZ

Coen’s connection to these dynamic characters goes far beyond the silver screen. At home, he especially loves playing with action figures (he even recalled that he has four different action figures of Captain America and Falcon), creating his own adventures fueled by imagination, escape, and creativity. One of his favorites even came from his brother (a chiseled Falcon figure), adding an extra layer of meaning to the heroic stories Coen dreams up during playtime. 

Disneyland Resort has also been a source of special memories for Coen and his family in the past, even recalling a fun visit about three years ago when his family boarded Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! at Disney California Adventure park. Fast forward to today, and Coen was thrilled to experience the adventure once again, but this time, he was joined by his new Super Hero buddy in Mackie. 

Laughing and enjoying their time together on the attraction’s rapid gantry lift drops while the beat of throwback music filled the air, Coen mentioned that the up‑and‑down drop moments were still his favorite part.  

The heroic highlights didn’t stop there. Following their wild adventure and eventual escape from the Collector’s fortress, Coen was able to scoop up a perfect mid-day churro and enjoy a personal experience with Iron Man inside of Avengers Campus. Yet the icing on the cake for this inspirational hero? Being gifted his own red, white, and blue Captain America shield to take home with him, marking his official status as one of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes with the courage and bravery of an Avenger. 

Once Coen bid farewell to Mackie, he also shared how much he was looking forward to experiencing classic Disneyland park attractions, including Space Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean. Together, the day became a string of milestone momentsfor Coen and his family, with each one adding even more memories to this instantly iconic visit.

Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro Looking at App that Combines Park Apps with Disney+

Josh D’Amaro Teases App Merging Disney+ with Theme Park Tech

Recent reports indicate that Disney leadership, including CEO Josh D’Amaro, is investigating the development of a “super app” that would consolidate the company’s digital footprint into a single platform via Disney+. This strategic integration aims to merge theme park services, gaming, and streaming into one unified interface to create a more frictionless experience for consumers.

The Walt Disney Company is exploring a massive digital transformation that could change how fans interact with the brand forever. According to a new report from Bloomberg, top executives are currently discussing a plan to consolidate Disney’s various digital platforms—including My Disney Experience, the Disney Cruise Line Navigator, and more—into a single “one-stop” interface within Disney+. Internally, sources familiar with the matter describe this ambitious project as a “super app,” a centralized hub where users could seamlessly buy park tickets, shop for merchandise, play games, and stream their favorite content all in one place.

Josh d’amaro

This initiative is a cornerstone of new CEO Josh D’Amaro’s “One Disney” vision. Since taking the reins in March, D’Amaro has focused on breaking down internal divisions to simplify the customer experience and evolve the company’s direct-to-consumer business. During Disney’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders, D’Amaro emphasized this direction, stating that Disney+ will continue to evolve into the “digital centerpiece” of the company, serving as a portal that connects stories, physical experiences, and games in entirely new ways.

While the concept of a “super app” or an Amazon Prime-style membership program is something former CEO Bob Iger toyed with for over a decade, logistics have historically stood in the way. Currently, the company is navigating the technical and legal complexities of fully integrating Hulu into Disney+. Although these “super app” conversations are reportedly in the early stages and no formal development plans have been solidified, the idea has already taken center stage in internal presentations, signaling a major shift toward a more unified digital future for Disney fans.

Daisy Duck Struts Her Stuff to Celebrate The Devil Wears Prada 2

“Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” Channeling her inner fashion mogul, Daisy Duck transformed the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival into her personal catwalk. This high-fashion promenade was all in celebration of the theatrical release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, proving that Daisy is the only one who can make a floral backdrop feel truly revolutionary.

To mark the long-awaited premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2, Daisy Duck turned the flower-lined paths of EPCOT into her own private runway. Strutting through the International Flower & Garden Festival, she debuted a curated springtime look—complete with chic, must-have accessories—proving once and for all that she’s the true fashion mogul of the parks.

To the unmistakable beat of Miranda Priestly’s legendary entrance theme, Daisy Duck turned the EPCOT walkways into a high-fashion editorial. Looking every bit the creative director, she worked the camera by swishing her purple plaid skirt, expertly adjusting her signature bracelet stacks, and giving her sunglasses a chic “editorial” nudge.

Just as the monorail glided overhead—providing the ultimate metropolitan backdrop—Daisy paused to strike a power pose and blow a kiss to her adoring fans. Miranda herself would have to admit: it was, in fact, groundbreaking.
