I conveniently found a pair of bug eyes on the ground last year.Some of us have been ‘naughty’ and have already picked up our ‘souvenir’ 3D glasses last week….

I've honestly have never seen it and there still hardly any footage of the grand opening of MV*3D. Besides the still photos that are commonly shown..

What a lovely memory! Thanks for sharing!Will do!
Sweetums used to be a part of the pre-parade unit back when The Muppets were part of Disney’s ‘VoluntEARS’ program.
Mid 2000s or so.
He would walk the parade route with a few performers dressed as painters, along with a small float featuring Kermit and Piggy as themselves.
A few of the Main Street vehicles were also included, and the entire pre-parade would roll the route a few minutes before the afternoon parade.
Once had the honor of riding in the Main Street fire truck during this Muppet themed pre-parade period.
Definately a memorable moment.
Had a nice personal interaction with all three characters ‘backstage’ after the days run as well.
Good times, and Sweetums was awesome as always.
Kermit and Piggy were pretty fabulous too.

Those purple 3D glasses are iconic.
Before the Muppets started using them for MuppetVision, they used to be over at the Imagination Pavillion for ‘Magic Journeys’ back in the day.
I remember this clearly, as the purple glasses perfectly matched the color of the Pavillion paint scheme at that time.
Thus why I felt a need to …..uh……well, ‘archive’ a set for the collection of vintage EPCOT Center memorabilia.
The fact I mentioned they have ties to the original Imagination Pavillion will probably mean more will suddenly be swiped….uh, I mean ‘archived’ by other fans.
Sorry, Kermit.
Don’t be angry with me….
Mickey owes me, big time.

This is Mr. Penguin erasure. First they cancel Mary Poppins and now they cut his job? ShameI think we all here on the WDWMagic forums are missing a very important thing:
What is @MisterPenguin going to do for food when this show closes? He and his fellow penguins in the orchestra only took the job for the halibut.
I'm going to miss MV3D terribly... And before anyone asks - Yes, I did see it (nearly) every time I visited DHS.
Isn't Figment Pigment?
