The problem is what do they do to make the merchandise popular? Movies don't seem to resonate with the general population. Relying solely on the attraction isn't the answer.

Agreed. And a quick "Muppets" search on the Disney Store returns a paltry 33 items. 17 being tee shirts.

Someone checking out once gave me some paper FP's. Does that count?

I have no idea. Disney just doesn't put a lot of money in anything Muppets.

While Dinosaur is not my favorite, I'm always perplexed at how attractions like Dino are replaced while Speedway lives on.

Exactly. Air is pure profit, Alcohol isn't far behind.

That is all I'm saying. You just have to open your eyes and look around to see the shift. We are heading that way. Was in Maine a few weeks ago. I saw more Cannabis stores than Duncans...

Wasnt the rose gold just for the 50th and now they are returning to the classic colors?

Bold prediction. Within the next 25 years, you'll be able to get regular cupcakes or "magical" cupcakes in the parks.

Ala the BOG PPO muffin brigade.

There were exactly 0 pieces in there I could afford.

No, I don't believe so. My opinion is most people just don't have the interest in Muppets any more. You could CGI Woody Woodpecker and it wouldn't have a huge following either.

Yeah. I guess.

I don't think many would disagree with that statement.

Muppets were competitive against 2D animation. Today, both struggle.

I don't think we can compare RnRc to Splash. Splash needs a story. RnRc not so much.

Covert attraction gift shops to bars. Every ride drops you off in a bar with a 2 drink minimum. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Terrific floats for sure.

I wonder if those high marks are more based on being starved of a parade for so long vs the actual quality of the parade. "This parade is 5 stars because its predecessor is absolutely nothing."

You are correct, but the question becomes, could they occupy as many tables in a day charging the same price and just having character meets. With Reflections moving in, are they going to be looking for a place that is open for lunch and dinner? Maybe a character meal since Mickey's BBQ is gone...
