food IS a theme park
Well, bless my Fozzie Bears! We’ve got some very exciting Muppet-related news to share with you all today!

Disney has just announced a new Muppet series will be landing on Disney+ sometime this summer!
Hear ye, hear ye! A beloved show at the Magic Kingdom has returned for President’s Day Weekend!
The Muppets ARE BACK! AGAIN!
That’s right! Kermit, Gonzo, Sam Eagle, and the gang are back once again to Liberty Square to teach us all about American history!
Wocka wocka! The Muppets have been slowly taking over our newsfeed lately, from the anticipated opening of Regal Eagle hosted by Sam Eagle, to the latest renovation of Muppet*Vision 3D!
The Muppets Fountain
After spotting the newest Muppets Loungefly backpacks in Hollywood Studios today, we didn’t think the day could get any better! Boy, were we wrong because we just found a whole collection of new Muppets apparel! You may or may not see us dressed from head-to-toe in Muppets merchandise in the coming weeks, don’t judge!
Hey, everyone, we’re back with another update from Disney World! Today, we’re walking the red carpet down to Hollywood Studios to see what’s changed from our last visit.
Welcome to the Crossroads!
There’s some construction and new merch to check out, so let’s get to it!
While it ain’t easy being green, — it also ain’t easy being a Muppets fan at Disney World right now!
Muppet*Vision 3D
The Muppets Present… Great Moments in American History has left Magic Kingdom and Epcot’s Regal Eagle Smokehouse (fronted by the greatest patriot of our times, Sam the Eagle) has yet to open! But the blows haven’t stopped there! Muppet*Vision 3D is currently closed for refurb, and TODAY we noticed a very important figurehead of Muppet fandom is MISSING!
If you are planning on visiting Hollywood Studios in the next month, you may want to double-check your itineraries. A fan-favorite show is set to undergo a brief refurbishment.
Muppet Vision 3-D
While we share a look at what will be down for refurbishment each week, we thought we’d give you guys a bit more of a heads up about another attraction. It looks like Muppet*Vision 3D is closing temporarily.
Sons and daughters of the Revolution, today we gather round the Liberty Tree with some very sad news.
The Town Crier
Today will mark the final performances of “The Muppets Present…Great Moments in American History.”
Wow! This latest visit to Hollywood Studios was jam packed with shop and merchandise updates!
Sunset Boulevard
We’ll start out on Sunset Boulevard with a complete update of the Legends of Hollywood Shop.
For those keeping track of changes at Disney’s Hollywood Studios this week, there’s one more to add to the list. You already likely know that the construction of Toy Story Land and Star Wars Land is now officially underway, as evidenced by the very recent closure of Streets of America fixtures such as Studio Catering Co. and the Lights! Motors! Action Extreme Stunt Show to make way for the new ventures.
Construction Walls Blocking the Streets of America
But what about Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano? It was always part of the former Streets of America section of the park, and yet it’s still in operation. (Yay!)
Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano
Well, it’s now part of the newly renamed Muppets Courtyard! The new name of this area of the park is revealed in the updated Guide Map for Disney’s Hollywood Studios (it’s listed on the bottom right of the shot below). [Read more…]
Okay, let’s face it: construction walls covering up refurbishment areas in Disney World are something we’re pretty used to seeing. They cover everything from the upcoming Frozen Ever After attraction in the former home of Epcot’s Maelstrom to Avatar Land in Animal Kingdom to the ongoing transformation of Disney Springs, and then some.
Walls outside of Planet Hollywood’s refurbishment in Disney Springs
And we’re bound to spot more and more very soon as Disney’s Hollywood Studios expands to add both Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land.
