Lance Bass Explores the Haunted Mansion Parlor Aboard the Disney Destiny

Pop star Lance Bass gave Disney Parks a special tour of the newest Disney Cruise Line amenity: the spooky yet elegant Haunted Mansion Parlor aboard the Disney Destiny, DCL’s newest ship.

During his tour with his husband, Michael Turchin, and his mother, the NSYNC singer humorously pointed out the parlor’s eerie ambiance. Regarding the decor, Bass noted, “So I really wanted to go a little understated with my look of my crib. So I went with these really nice dark colors with eyeballs.” He loved the cobwebs on the chandelier, joking, “One thing I love about this place is there’s really no need to dust. It just kind of goes with the whole effect of the place.”

Bass also showcased the haunted instruments, family portraits, the clock stuck at 13:00, and the mirror behind the bar, which not only reveals ghostly forms but also, he noted, lets you know if someone is “about to stab you in the back.”

Two New Construction Permits Filed for Former MuppetVision 3D Theater

Two New Construction Permits Filed for Former MuppetVision D Theater

New Permits Filed as Monsters, Inc. Takes Over the Former MuppetVision 3D Theater at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

It looks like the citizens of Monstropolis are one step closer to clocking in at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Disney has officially filed new permits for the former MuppetVision 3D theater as the building prepares for its transformation into a centerpiece of the park’s upcoming Monsters, Inc. land. The permits outline general construction at the site, hinting that the glow-up for this future Monstropolis theater is well underway.

Both permits list 365 Cypress Drive, the existing theater’s address. One is contracted to Jon Richards Company, a longtime Imagineering collaborator known for their work on everything from the newest Test Track set pieces to signage for Country Bear Musical Jamboree and the Zootopia: Better Zoogether show. The second permit taps Solotech, the AV specialists who also contributed to Zootopia’s tech-heavy upgrades. With both companies now stepping into the scare floor, the transformation of the beloved old theater is clearly moving into a more active phase.

According to earlier concept art, the exterior brickwork of the theater will remain, but its identity will shift entirely. The building will debut as The Glob, a playful nod to The Globe theater but infused with all the gooey charm Monstropolis can muster. A new marquee and an eye-shaped clock will anchor the refreshed façade, while crews have already begun removing the old Muppets theming.

The new Monsters, Inc. land promises to deliver some heavy hitters, most notably its E-ticket attraction: a vertical-lift suspended coaster racing through the iconic door vault. It’s both Disney’s first vertical lift coaster and their first suspended coaster, currently rising just outside the park’s boundary on former parking lot space. Foodies will also spot some fun changes, with Mama Melrose’s set to become the famed sushi spot Harryhausen’s, and PizzeRizzo expected to get a monster makeover while keeping its quick-service footprint.

As Monstropolis takes shape, the big question now is: what kind of show will fill The Glob’s stage? A laugh floor-style comedy set? A door vault caper? A Monsters, Inc. musical extravaganza? Whatever moves in, it’s clear this corner of the park is preparing for a full scare-abration.

Throughout all three parks, guests can soak up the final days of Universal’s Holiday celebration through January 4, enjoying Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Grinchmas, the Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s, seasonal treats, and the always-magical Holidays Tribute Store.

CityWalk keeps the beat going with DJ sets and live music at the Waterfront Stage and the Green & Red Coconut Club, festive décor, themed cocktails, roving performers, and a resort-wide countdown celebration that transforms the complex into a New Year’s Eve block party.

Universal’s hotels round out the celebration with options for every style.

With the kiosk fully revealed, the charm factor is off the charts. The red-and-white popcorn box design looks exactly like something Andy might’ve left out during snack time, complete with ripped “paper” edges and doodled lettering. The awnings above each food window appear to be held up by jumbo frill-tipped toothpicks, as if Rex and Hamm decided to build the whole stand from items pulled straight out of the toy bin. Corrugated cardboard frames the order windows, and decorative “masking tape” labels sit above each slot, hinting that the menu signage will be easily swappable for seasonal offerings or rotating treats.

Disney and OpenAI Announce Partnership to Bring Sora AI to Storytelling

Disney Makes a $1 Billion Wish: Massive New Deal Brings 200+ Characters to OpenAI’s Sora

Disney just dropped a holiday gift on the tech and entertainment world that sparkles brighter than Cinderella Castle at midnight. In a groundbreaking new partnership, The Walt Disney Company and OpenAI have inked a three-year agreement that will let fans create short-form Sora videos featuring more than 200 iconic Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars characters. And yes, that means everything from Mickey to Moana, Groot to Goofy, Baymax to Beast, and even the galaxy’s favorite glowstick collectors over in Star Wars.

Disney and OpenAI Announce Partnership to Bring Sora AI to Storytelling

The deal is equal parts innovation and pixie dust. Disney is investing $1 billion in OpenAI, becoming the company’s first major content licensing partner for Sora. In return, OpenAI gets access to an enormous treasure chest of Disney IP, including costumes, props, vehicles, and environments, while Disney gains new technology muscle across its platforms, including the ability to use OpenAI APIs to build features for Disney+. Fans will eventually see a curated selection of Sora-generated shorts streaming right on the platform, giving the whole thing a warm “I made this!” energy.

While Sora and ChatGPT Images will gain the ability to generate videos and still images based on beloved characters, the agreement stops shy of talent likenesses or voices. It puts a strong emphasis on responsible use, safety controls, and protecting creators, which both companies highlighted as a foundational part of the collaboration.

Disney and OpenAI Announce Partnership to Bring Sora AI to Storytelling

Disney CEO Bob Iger called the partnership a major evolution in storytelling, giving fans ways to create with Disney characters unlike anything seen before. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman chimed in with equal enthusiasm, noting that Disney represents the gold standard for storytelling and imagination. And Wall Street seems to agree. Following the announcement, DIS stock jumped more than 1%, with analysts praising Disney for embracing generative AI rather than fighting it.

Creators will have access to characters from across the Disney multiverse: classic animated icons, Pixar favorites like Baymax and the Inside Out crew, Marvel heroes like Captain America and Black Panther, and Star Wars legends like Luke Skywalker and The Mandalorian. The ability for everyday users to craft their own micro-stories featuring these characters marks a huge shift in what AI-assisted creativity can look like.

The collaboration also signals a major cultural moment in entertainment. Disney’s move sets the tone for how other studios might handle AI licensing, production, and fan-driven content. With nearly every major entertainment company wrestling with how to safeguard IP while embracing emerging technologies, Disney has planted a very large, very sparkly flag in the ground.

Sora and ChatGPT Images are expected to roll out fan-generated Disney character videos in early 2026. Until then, this announcement alone has given fans plenty to dream about. After all, when Disney and AI team up, imagination suddenly grows wings.
