Muppets characters
I heard an exciting new rumor about possibly getting some brand new park specific characters.
This was @Magenta Panther as I explained the details.
Walk-arounds or puppets?

You're overestimating how much I care.
I go to DHS for the Tower and the Brown Derby. I doubt I'd ever wander down the place where the puppets appear (as is the case with most guests, probably. I know the Rat restaurant is empty most of the time, as is the theater).
Hmmmm....if this happens, is there any chance that this will get them out of Liberty Square?

That's false, the theater is packed during the day. Why do you hate the "puppets" again?
A muppet killed his brother.
Something similar happened to buddy of mine. Haunted him for years. Drove him straight to the bottle.

Puppets.
Basically 5 new SoCal Hipsters characters created by The Muppets that "live in the condos on Grand Ave".
More Streetmosphere-ish than the Muppet show in Liberty square. They poke their heads out of the windows and interact with the folks standing in line for Star Wars.
"Hey! Anyone got a stamp? I want to send this analog text on by way down to the Tap House for a Double Triple Squared Unfiltered Pumpkin Quinoa Kosher IPA."

None of WDW's 3D attractions have been successful at DLR, including Captain EO, HISTA, and It's Tough to be a Bug. It's not just Muppet*Vision. But the DHS version still pulls in the crowds.Yeah, that's why the closed the one in Disneyland!

I can't take you seriously without a real reason to explain your hate for the Muppets.

So you're saying the 3D is the reason the Disneyland show was dumped? I can't take THAT seriously.

Yeah, and there's lots more where that came from. Google "killing Kermit" if you dare...

I'm simply saying that this style of attraction has never caught on at DLR. Why is this the case? It could be that DL guests visit much more often than WDW guests and simply don't feel the need to see film-based attractions every time they visit.

Nah, there just way more sophisticated on the west coast and to them the Muppets are so yesterday. You cannot use the Muppets as a reference or topic of discussion at coke saturated parties. Besides under that influence even flat screen shows come out 3D, so it has no particular draw. Wow... that's awesome man! Look at those colors!

Photo update as of Tuesday, September 26. The wall mural on brick near the Baseline Tap House has been appropriately "weathered" and faded.

Wow! Is this real? If it is:
A) It's awesome.
B) It makes me wish even more that the whole area was more explicitly Muppet-y - so close to being the Muppet Land of my dreams
C) I wish they had maintained the "classic era" Los Angeles feeling and had original Muppets that fit into a 30s/40s setting rather then hipsters
D) It would be great if this makes them realize that park-specific characters are a good way to move merchandise that is based on them (look at Figment and that silly Orange Bird)
E) It's still awesome
