Meet Sulley from Monsters, Inc. at Pixar Plaza (Hollywood Studios)
Sulley from Monsters, Inc. meets guests daily at Pixar Plaza at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This giant yet adorable monster has a fun character meet you don’t want to miss! Below, we’ll look at where to find Sulley during your Disney World vacation. In addition, I’ll share a few photos, tips, and details for pictures and autographs at this character meet.
You may remember that Sulley formerly met at Walt Disney Presents at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. However, that location is currently home to an Ariel meet-and-greet celebrating the live-action version of The Little Mermaid.
Sulley and several other Pixar characters were relocated to a reimagined Pixar Plaza a while back. He now meets here daily with characters like Mrs. Incredible, Frozone, Edna Mode, and Joy from Inside Out.
Pixar Place is located directly past Walt Disney Presents before you get to Toy Story Land. This area was formerly home to the entrance for Toy Story Mania, and for a while, it was called Municiberg Plaza. Unfortunately, most of the meet-and-greets in this location are in direct sunlight. For example, the photo below shows where the Incredibles are meeting in the back right corner while Sulley is meeting in the left corner.
Thankfully, only a handful of guests were waiting ahead of me. Ordinarily, I would anticipate a wait between 15 and 25 minutes.
As far as theming, the area doesn’t have much.
Sulley meets guests intermittently between 9:00 and 5:00 p.m. His exact times should be listed in the My Disney Experience app. Here’s how to check.
How to Locate Characters in the My Disney Experience App
- Open the My Disney Experience app and select the pin drop at the bottom of the home screen.
- Scroll (left to right) through the icons at the top of the screen and select “Characters.”
- After selecting characters, use the locations drop down to select the park of your choice.
- Then, on the bottom right of the screen, select “Show List.”
- Scroll through the list of characters with their times and locations.
- As an alternative, you can use the map view to locate characters.
*As the day passes, you might notice that characters disappear from the app. When their last scheduled time passes, the meet-and-greet automatically disappears. A new schedule won’t be loaded until the following day. It is essential to check the app for meet-and-greets on the day of your visit.

If you are in the area and don’t see him, you can always ask one of the cast members at the other character meets. The cast members wearing blue shirts usually have a good idea of which characters are meeting that day. Or you can always stop at one of the Guest Services kiosks in the park. They are under a blue umbrella and usually have a list of character availability for traditional meets.
Previously, Sulley met with Mike Wazowski at Hollywood Studios. Unfortunately, many of the characters have returned without their other half. But with the announcement of the new Monsters, Inc. Land to be built at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we have a feeling we’ll be seeing both monsters around a good bit more!
Unfortunately, Sulley does not sign autographs because his paws are too large. A PhotoPass photographer was available at this character meet-and-greet. However, they are not guaranteed.
You might notice that Sulley is a giant of a character. He might be intimidating to small children. However, he is the friendliest of monsters.
Overall, Sulley is an excellent character to meet during your vacation. I’m sure the photos with this unique character will bring back cherished memories for many years to come.
