Monsters, Inc Laugh Floor Reopens After 18-Months of Closure

Great news coming out of the Monster world as Walt Disney World’s extremely fun attraction, Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor at Magic Kingdom, has once again reopened their doors. Monsters, Inc. is just one of the many attractions/experiences scheduled to reopen this month. While Monster, Inc. Laugh Floor was on the calendar to reopen on August 8, Disney began soft openings on August 6 and guests are loving every minute of it! Not only do we see guests celebrating, but of course Disney Cast Members are excited to be back among the memories this attraction dishes out. 

As shared via Walt Disney World Cast & Community Facebook: “HELLO, HUMANS! Mike Wazowski is once again welcoming humans to the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, and our very own monsters of comedy could not be more thrilled! Hey, do you know why you can’t give Elsa a balloon? Because she’ll let it go!”

If you’ve never experienced this Magic Kingdom park favorite, you don’t want to miss it! As shared Disney’s website, “Step inside the only laugh factory in Monstropolis and make your way into a comedy club hosted by Monster of Ceremonies Mike Wazowski. These scare-acters love to engage the audience. Don’t be surprised if you become part of the show!” Plus, if you have a good, clean joke you want shared, you can text it in to the show and they may just share it with the audience.

Welcome back to all the Cast Members and Disney fans that have long awaited Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor’s reopening after 18 months of being closed due to COVID-19. While we wish we could say we totally pandemic free, you’ll still need to follow along with Walt Disney World’s safety guidelines by once again wearing masks at all indoor locations on property. Is putting on a mask worth the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor entertainment? Absolutely!
