Anyone looking for a positive? If the Muppets leave, so will quite possibly the worst pizza in all of WDW.
For those it may concern.
Please see Kermit at his home in Hollywood Studios sooner rather than later.
Unless a huge upset happens, which would be unprecedented this close to construction, I've been informed by all those that I talk to that Muppets Courtyard is the definitive development space for Monsters Inc.
Beloved attraction closes with much backlash, only small touch will remain, already have our first potential revival rumors. Gentleman, I think we have our next “imagination 4.0”: bring back the muppets. Better start buying merch, maybe it’ll be less than 30 years this time!
Rumors of hall of presidents replacement are kinda iffy right now. Could happen, could not. That’s what I get from what people are saying. Not an insider tho, just what people sayin in here. I personally maybe advocate for a laugh floor replacement. Make it an interactive muppet show in muppet labs!Any indication that Muppets will retain a presence at all (in DHS or elsewhere on property)? And if so, something ambitious (like a new permanent attraction), a stop gap option (like bringing back a street show like Great Moments), or just relegated to "appearances" as appropriate at festivals and seasonal events?
Maybe most of the public has moved on - there are certainly folks on this forum who are not fans of the Muppets. But it is rather disheartening and difficult to accept that Iger & co. just don't want to throw the same amount of effort behind the Muppets as they do Star Wars, Marvel, Cars, Encanto, Moana, Monsters etc. because they weren't grand slams at the box office/Disney+. At least for their first 30 years of existence and that brief blip around the Jason Segel movie, the Muppets left an indelible, unique mark on the public. Monsters Inc. has always deserved better than just Laugh Floor and a Sulley meet, but the Muppets deserve better than nothing.
It makes you think, it’s only a matter of timer when they give up on Small World, COP and other classics.Forgive a little soapboxing, but I think a lot of this worry/hurt comes from the fact that Disney has all but given up on the Muppets. This is the second longest drought without a Muppet movie and there has been no major TV special or theme park project to back them up. Muppet Haunted Mansion & Mayhem were both great but barely anyone knew about their existence. California's MuppetVision disappeared in 2014, there is barely any merch produced by Disney themselves, and as mentioned before they can't even be bothered to get Muppets Take Manhattan on Disney Plus. Little things like third-party produced action figures & board games and Waldos getting replaced by projections are the biggest news we Muppet fans have. The fact that operations are so keen to cut entertainment these days and additions have been extremely few and far between (barring next year's Electrical Parade!!) means a live show is all but unthinkable.
In 2009, there was a large Muppets presentation at D23 in which various major projects were announced. Despite the fact that the majority did not come to fruition, this was a great time of hope for us. This year, we got a huge Avatar pavilion - even though Disney does not fully own the rights to the property - and Eric Jacobson wasn't even at the Miss Piggy panel.

Oh I get plans always can and will change…. But I think cars makes too much sense…I get people’s upset reactions… no loss for me with TSI…. But I will very much miss the Liberty Bell….but two unpopular attractions replacesd with a proven popular franchise… it should improve capacity with the attractions alone… plus it could help improve guest flow depending on how the new paths are configuredThey’d started digging for Main St Theatre when that was cancelled. Although it wasn’t officially cancelled, it was just never mentioned again.
I disagree. From the beginning the parks were based on unique themes. Eisner at least recognized that and tried to keep that.Oh I get plans always can and will change….

also times change….I believe the Florida parks were always designed with the intent on selling merchandise from day 1… not many kids playing cowboy and Indians or buying skin hats these days…Cars is one of Disney’s hottest sellers…I don’t know how much merchandise the Main Street theater would of sold
To this, is there any belief that MILF could end up over here? Would love to think there is some major plan for Tomorrow land to redo the Laugh Floor, Stich and maybe even Space Rangers spin with some new cool idea???The show part is VERY rumor right now though. All we know for sure is a coaster. I question if there is enough room in that area for a show unless it's significantly smaller (or there is a ton of reworking of the behind the scenes things). Also, just going to throw it out there, I'm not sure I believe the playground ends up there either. I think it'd be a good addition, but I could see someone stepping in on that for the insurance reasons.
Nothing has been confirmedHave the Muppets even been confirmed to be on the chopping block?
Brayden Says they are doomed.If Corless Says that Muppets is safe, than it’s almost certainly safe. He and Brayden have both been nailing it with the insider info lately. Everyone needs to relax.
It depends on who you talk to.Have the Muppets even been confirmed to be on the chopping block?
