Mike Wazowski of “Monsters Inc.” Will No Longer Meet Guests at Disney Hollywood Studios

Mike Wazowski

Mike Wazowski

Some sad news for Monsters Inc. and Pixar fans. Mike Wazowski is leaving Disney Hollywood Studios and will no longer be a regular meet and greet character. The popular Pixar character will be partnered with Sulley up until February 22nd. Then starting February 23rd, it will only be Sulley meeting guests at Disney Hollywood Studios.

Mike Wazowski of “Monsters Inc.” Will No Longer Meet Guests at Disney Hollywood Studios

As of right now, no reason is given as to why Mike Wazowski is exiting. We understand other changes are going into effect, such as the “Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away” show coming to an end. Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will make its grand debut on March 4th, so that will bring a new attraction to Disney Hollywood Studios. Some are hoping new live entertainment or character meet and greets will be announced soon. With Disney Pixar’s Onward coming to theaters soon, we wonder if those characters will be announced for Walt Disney World.

Mike Wazowski of “Monsters Inc.” Will No Longer Meet Guests at Disney Hollywood Studios

Mike and Sulley formed an iconic (or should I say eye-conic?) comedy duo in the Pixar movie universe. Even though Sulley is sticking around, it won’t be the same. Meeting them together always felt like a fun experience for many Monsters Inc. fans.

Will you miss Mike Wazowski? Hopefully, his exit will be a short one and he’ll rejoin Sulley in the future.
