The Muppets Present… Great Moments in American History'

[LAKid53]

They are replacing Hall of Presidents with a glorious three hour production titled, "A Salute to all Nations, but mostly America". Trust me, I went to school with Meg Crofton and she told me all about it.


(She may've graduated before I got there though)

Meg and I graduated from the same program. She never mentioned it to me at any alumni events....

If you go back a few months on Twitter, this isn't the first mention of a new Muppet Show coming to Magic Kingdom. I actually wouldn't be totally shocked if this turned out to be true (although Liberty Square is a bit iffy of choice, to be totally honest).

Where on twitter was this? could it be the same person/ worker circulating it?

Wow, two pages and no one remembers that the never built Disney's America was to feature a Muppet attraction in its Eillis Island section about immigration.

They mention it here..http://www.disneydrawingboard.com/DA Haymarket/DAHaymarket.html

Im sure this will be an immersive experience for the whole family and the re-telling of American History through the eyes of the Muppetts.

There is actually something to this.

There is no logical rationale to this. The Muppets do not belong in a land that is supposed to represent our country in 1776.

Honestly, what's more American, though, than shameless commercialism?

Well, that's interesting.

Oh for c#$&@s sake

I'm a pretty huge Muppets fan, but... what?

If Trump wins the presidency, I wouldn't be shocked at all if Disney puts Muppets into the Hall of Presidents just so they don't have to deal with backlash building a Trump AA.

It would be easy all they would need would be a toupee, For the other candidate they would need to get the rights to Snively Whiplash

Wait what?!?! Really? I shudder to hear the reality: the Hall of Presidents as played by Muppets? But in seriousness I'd be interested to learn more!

If it was anyone else saying this, I'd be thinking, "yeah, right"....

Of course, you can just have Sam do the narration, just like Morgan Freeman was brought in to do the new narration when Obama was elected president (I thought his Hillary Clinton ad was an audition tape for the 2017 version of HoP). Satire has long since replaced standard forms of journalism, so why not?

 

[gregorynbaker]

Heck, replace Mike Wazowski with Jeff Fungus in M,ILF and, combined with Yoda at DHS, you can have Frank Oz characters MC ALL the shows at WDW!

 

[YodaMan]

What am I missing? The rumor is that this show will happen ABOVE Hall of Presidents, not replace it. It would be an addition. I don't think that's too hard to fathom. Let's not also start rumors that Hall of Presidents is leaving.

 

[TheGhostWithTheMost]

This is happening sooner than you think. This is what the Hall of Presidents looks like right now.

Oh for c#$&@s sake

That was my inner-monologue response. What. The. Actual. &$%#>

 

[jt04]

Not stirring the pot but could they be considering relocating the HoP? In that case I think I like this idea for the MK.

 

[Blairnicol]

Like-seriously?????? I was SUPER psyched about the idea of expanding The Muppets to Muppets Courtyard and them getting some additional traction at DHS. Swedish Chef Restaurant instead of crappy Pizza Planet? Sign. Me. UP. But leave the Hall of Presidents the helllll alone. I could mayyyyybbbeee get on board with Sam the Eagle being involved. MAYBE. But I love Morgan Freeman's narration.

Although-I could seriously understand them looking at what the crap to do if Trump gets elected...because Morgan Freeman will probably say "NOPE" to them continuing to use his voiceover work.

Unless they are moving HoP to replace American Adventure. THEN we will talk.

But why not keep The Muppets at DHS?? Where they are getting their own land?? I'm confused.....

Because that is a twenty year old project that never made it past the local planning commissions.

Now we have strip malls, a walmart, a rather nice boy scout camp, horrible traffic and a good pizza place.
