Grand Ave at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to Begin Phased Closure in May 2025

Walt Disney World has announced that the Grand Ave area of Disney’s Hollywood Studios will begin a phased closure this May. This closure will affect several attractions and restaurants in the area, including Muppet*Vision 3D, PizzeRizzo, and Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano.

Here is the announced timeline for the upcoming closures.

• May 10, 2025, is the last day to dine at Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano.
• June 7, 2025, is the last day to experience Muppet*Vision 3D and PizzeRizzo.

Reminder: The Muppets will be relocating to Sunset Boulevard as part of a takeover of the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster attraction. It will be the first-ever Disney ride to feature the Muppets.

While Disney didn’t release a closing date for the current version of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith, the announcement noted the following:

In the meantime, there’s still enough time to catch a super-stretch limo to the Forum to enjoy Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith and catch a glorious three-hour finale with Muppet*Vision 3D again before their final curtain calls.

With the sad news of these closures, we can also look forward to construction beginning on the new Monsters, Inc.-themed land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The new land will feature a suspended roller coaster ride reminiscent of the door vault scene, dining, shopping, and a new theater show.
