food IS a theme park
It’s Halloween time, y’all! And we are so ready for the spooky season!
There’s always room for one more…Muppet?
And while we’re enjoying all the Halloween decorations at the parks, along with the wickedly cool merchandise and delicious snacks, one of the things we’re MOST excited about is the upcoming Muppets Haunted Mansion special! I mean, what’s not to love — the Muppets AND Haunted Mansion? It’s going to be epic!
Disney World is looking a little extra spooky right now; the Halloween season is officially here! And that means the Haunted Mansion will be getting a little extra love from fans for the next few months!
It’s Haunted Mansion season!
We’re already starting to see new Haunted Mansion merchandise pop up in Disney World and online, and the ride even recently got its own Disney Collectible Key! And it’s getting its own Muppets special on Disney+, which we are SUPER excited to see!
One thing that has been synonymous with our celebration of America over the years has been The Muppets and their over-the-top celebrations.
The Big Finish!!
While it may not be as long as a “glorious three-hour finale” by Sam Eagle, we cannot wait to see what our favorite green friend has in store for us when he performs on PBS.
Who’s ready for Halloween?!
Halloween Cavalcade
We certainly are — and it seems like Disney is, too! Today kicks off their #HalfwaytoHalloween celebration, filled with special treats and spooky surprises. And it may still be early, but Disney’s already rollin’ out the fun with an announcement about a NEW Halloween special coming to Disney+!
Don’t get us wrong — we LOVE Disney World. We’re there every day, and we still get a little teary-eyed when we walk down Main Street, U.S.A. and see Cinderella Castle. Disney World IS our happy place!
Welcome to our happy place!
But at the same time, there have been some things that Disney World has done that left us scratching our heads and asking, “What gives, Disney?” We’ve seen some pretty ridiculous things happen at the parks over the years, and some were so outrageous that we’ve totally forgotten about them!
If you’re a BIG Muppets fan, then you probably love the Muppet*Vision 3D area in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and at least the decor (but not necessarily the pizza) over at PizzeRizzo.
Even the Disney Ducks LOVE the Muppets!
But, big Muppets fans and those who just haven’t opened their eyes yet to the awesomeness of the Muppets may have totally overlooked some amazing details in this area that just further prove how hilarious our Muppet friends are. If you love puns and sarcasm, we DARE you to read this and not laugh or at least chuckle!
Have you gotten on the nuiMOs hype train yet?
Mickey and Minnie nuiMOs
Disney recently launched a new-to-the-U.S. line of totally collectible plushes called Disney nuiMOs. These little buddies are posable and you can even buy little outfits to dress them up in stylish clothes or Disney costumes. Now, two new plushes are hitting the scene and they might be the best yet.
In Disney World, there are hidden treasures, and then there are restaurants that are hidden for a reason.
PizzeRizzo Entrance
PizzeRizzo in Disney’s Hollywood Studios fits into the category of hidden for a reason. In the past, we haven’t been impressed by any of the food here, and little has changed over the years. Although it may be worth a walk-through for Muppets-fans, has the food gotten any better recently? We’re here to find out!
The streaming library on Disney+ is growing and new shows and films are being released often!
Disney+
And the coming months and years, the library will only continue to grow with original series and films! But for fans of the classics, there’s one series coming to Disney+ soon that you’ll likely be interested in — The Muppet Show!
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance continues to be an incredibly popular ride, but it’s also still one of the most difficult ones to get on.
Rise of the Resistance
Today, we were lucky enough to get a Boarding Group (we were crossing ALL our fingers and toes) and we got called back to ride the attraction in the afternoon, but the line was already VERY long and eventually we ended waiting for Rise of the Resistance in part of ANOTHER attraction’s queue that was quite muppetsational!
