It's a big success, as far as I know, so hearing this rumor seemed strange, but wanted to see if this actually has any legitimacy.

They're working on something there, but that's still a long way off anyway. I don't think it means that this show has to end though just because they're going to do something there though.

My thoughts as well. Same with Muppet mobile labs in EPCOT.

I do hope the show doesn't end. It's an excellent example of how studio IPs can be used to uphold the theme of an area rather than take away from it.
It wouldn't make sense there. The show is about early American history, which is why it's in a colonial-America-themed area, not in Downtown Los Angeles. It was designed for Liberty Square and wouldn't work as well anywhere else.

What he mean't is what they could do on an upper balcony stage and can be about anything else...Only problem is the area they could put it in is Right around Mama Melroses and it's fairly tight around that said area...
I've also brought up a "What If' they were to move to Grand Ave building and few poster's have said it will not be happening...

Okay, it sounds like he meant moving the show-as is, but say he didn't. That would mean changing almost the entire show, everything from the name to the script to the set-up. I doubt Disney would go through that effort. It feels unneccesary.
What's the problem with keeping it in Liberty Square?

If a show would make its way to Grand Avenue, it would be completely different than the one over at Liberty Square. Now that Great Moments is pretty successful, the show over DHS probably has a far more likely chance to take off.

Correct...I was saying Muppets presenting a live show within buildings was the test. The theme of that show can change.
I don't have any problem with the muppets staying in Liberty Square. It just seems obvious to me that the goal would be to one day group muppets together.

Why is that a good idea? Are the Muppets a theme?
Disney is in the business of operating theme parks, not upscale amusement parks. Orlando is becoming the upscale amusement park capital of the world, and I'm not sure that's a sustainable business model for any competitor. Anyway, your turn.

I think they should add some Muppets to The Haunted Mansion, popping out of the windows. It would really fit with the lighthearted interactive waiting line.

I have no idea what your point is. Grouping consistent themes together is part of a theme park correct? Again I don't have any problems with muppets in Liberty square... I love them! I just could see it making sense to test that type of show 1. At a time when hall of presidents will be down for an extended time. And 2. While the area around muppets courtyard / grand avenue is under major construction.
It also could have nothing to do with that.

Move a new version of the show next to Muppets 3D and let them act as "Tiki Bird Barkers" for the theater show.

Nooooooooo! This was the one decent thing WDW Entertainment put out (for a non-seasonal event) in years!

I never had a chance to see this... It was at the top of my to do list on my February trip...
