It’s turning into one monstrous summer at Walt Disney World ® as the Orlando theme park adds entertainment inspired by Pixar’s upcoming prequel “Monsters University.”

Mike Wazowski and Sulley have been popping up throughout Disney’s ® four parks for the past few months but now the monstrous duo have dropped in to Hollywood Studios ® from MU to scare up fun in an all-new meet-and-greet.

Designed to look like the Monsters University Student Union, this incredible meet-and-greet located on the back lot will take you inside life on campus with Mike and Sulley. 
From the moment you walk into the queue you are transported back to your days in college with all things collegiate including banners and bulletins with advertisements like “Vote for Harold Horn for MU Student President,” and more. You’ll also get a sneak peak at the different sororities and fraternities from the movie including Slugma Slugma Kappa (EEK), Oozma Kappa (OK) in which Mike and Sulley are a part of, Jaws Theta Chi (JOX) and the sorority Eta Hiss Hiss (HSS). And in case you want to take a look around campus there is even a Monsters University Campus Map hanging on the wall.

Portraits of some of the faculty of Monsters University also line the Student Union walls. Get a better look at Dean Hardscrabble, who according to the Monsters University website, “… is internationally known and widely regarded as the foremost authority on the subject of Scaring. For the past several decades, every hopeful MU Scarer has had to pass through her classroom before stepping foot on a Scare floor.” Other faculty members include Dr. Tawny Van der Slime, Distinguished Professor and Fear Standards Chair, School of Scaring and Professor Knight, Tenured Professor of Fright, School of Scaring. 

After taking in all of the collegiate bulletins, banners, and portraits you’ll finally spot Mike and Sulley greeting guests. And in true college spirit, both monsters are sporting their university’s attire. Sulley, who looks exactly like he did in the first film is wearing a collegiate “MU” blue and white jacket while Mike is wearing an “MU” blue and white hat over his one eye. The two happily pose and shake hands with excited guests waiting to see them.

The monstrous meet-and-greet isn’t the only way to experience a little “Monster’s University” fun. Since May the “Monsterail” has been transporting guests from Disney’s entrance to Disney’s the four parks.  Outfitted with monsters from the new film, the “Monsterail” is simply one of the iconic Disney monorails that has been redesigned to cater to all things MU.
