With the whole scuttlebut and hoopla surrounding monsters inc potentially replacing muppetvision 3D, another rumor has quietly arisen through multiple people: the muppets will make a new home in liberty square. This rumor, while subtle, has been mentioned or alluded to by multiple trusted insiders here, as well as some on Twitter. Will we get this salute to all nations (but mostly America)? Time will tell.

Rumor Hall of Presidents Replaced by Muppets American History Show???
- Thread starter Streetway
- Start date
Credits to @lentesta for providing the most detailed information about this show at the time, as well as Steve (@wdwmagic ) for being the first one to allude to it. (@marni1971 ) and Mickeyviews (Brayden) I’m pretty sure have alluded to it too.

This is a terrible idea
I mean I disagree, but I get where you are coming from.
Makes it sound almost ideal.
I wondered that too but all the mentioning of it have specifically said it is the hall of presidents being replaced.

They’re dabbling in much worse ideas at the moment

Surely true. That doesn’t make this good. Just leave MV and HoP alone.

I don’t have a problem with a Muppets themed show as an addition to LS. But they shouldn’t remove HoP (or Muppetvision for that matter).

Not a fan of this. Would it mean the president AAs would be gone? That's a really unique and creative "living history" tradition that would be sad to see ended.
Hall of presidents was gonna go anyway. Especially with political climate. And if they don’t care about all of the rivers of america, no way they care about HOP. Muppetvision I agree with you, but I feel like we are a bit too late on that one. IMO American Adventure nails the serious look at American history so much, that I feel like a more fun look at American history, especially in the magic kingdom would be fun. I do adknolwedge I’m more liberal with what I accept than most here, but I think this could be a fun time. Also whatever keeps the muppets at wdw, and hot take AA wipes the floor with HOP anywaayyy even if Itd be nice for it to stay.

It’s time for Hall of Presidents to go. Quite frankly, we don’t have near the same reverence for the office that we had in 1971. And animatronics of the Presidents aren’t as novel as they were then either.
I do hope that Disney will donate the animatronic figures to the presidential libraries of each respective president. That would be a really cool way to honor the work of the artists who sculpted them.

Look, It's either this or a Nic Cage National Treasure AA!
I mean, he is a national treasure.

It doesn't matter who the current president is or who wins in November, the Hall of Presidents ought to be preserved. Does that mean it has to be preserved at Magic Kingdom? No. Bring it to Disneyland and I would be happy. But I do believe that, much like CoP and Mr. Lincoln, it's a show that must be preserved.
