Monster’s Inc Laugh Floor
On our recent trip to Walt Disney World, we woke up early on our first day, arrived at the Magic Kingdom at rope drop, and eagerly headed towards Fantasyland. This was our kids’ first trip to Disney World and we were excited to start exploring the rides and attractions and soak it all in with them. By noon, we were hot and tired, and as we rounded the corner into Tomorrowland, we spotted the building for Stitch’s Great Escape (which can be slightly terrifying for young ones) and the building which used to house The Timekeeper, which now displayed a sign reading Monster’s Inc. Laugh Floor.
Being that my kids are Monster’s Inc. fans, and given the fact that this show provided a place to sit in an air conditioned theater, I decided that the Monster’s Inc Laugh Floor was worth checking out. This attraction really surprised me and I soon discovered that it was a total delight for both children and adults (in fact I’d argue I might’ve enjoyed it even more than my children did).
Upon entering, there is a short pre-show movie during which audience members can text in jokes that may be used later in the show. Once inside the theater, guests experience a new type of attraction in a live, unscripted show. Using technology similar to the Turtle Talk with Crush attraction in Epcot, guests get to actually interact with the one and only Mike Wazowski, the MC for the show. The premise behind the show is that laughter creates power. The audience must fill a laugh meter to open the theater’s exit doors. Multiple cameras located throughout the theater spotlight audience members on the big screens at the front of the theater, with silly captions underneath. This hilarious aspect of the show was the funniest for me as I watched unsuspecting guests (including myself) suddenly appear on-screen. By the end of the show (spoiler alert) the laugh canister is filled and the exit doors open. I didn’t want the show to be over!
I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but I was so pleasantly surprised by this interactive show that I actually called our family members who were traveling with us and told them that they had to check out the Monster’s Inc. Laugh Floor. I love the direction that Walt Disney World is going with the technology it employs on rides and in shows, and can’t wait to see what they come up with next!
