Why would they close frozen sing along? That show is an extremely popular guest drawer from all my experiences.I just assume d-jr is gone.

The only dead part of Muppets is the gift shops. Pizzerizzo is a fine restaurant, Mama Melrose is popular, and MuppetVision itself is peak.
Star Wars Launch Bay Area has none of that.

Part of me feels like they could remove Frozen because it’s outdated as far as that franchise goes. No songs from 2, no Making Today a Perfect Day, and soon no Frozen 3.
Disney removing an outdated stage show from DHS? Have you been to this park before? BATB goes way before frozen.

Don't give them any ideas they will get rid of BATB and bulldoze the theater
Respectfully, Pizzarizzo is so under used that it isn't even open for dinner (And that's probably for the better, considering the general health and safety of guests). There are two gift shops in the area, but they can't even keep one open. Mama Melrose is consistently empty and underperforms.
I love MV3D, but in reality it is certainly not peak and it hasn't been for decades. A muppets D/E-Ticket would go a long way to revitalize the area in addition to MV3D, but clearly the braintrust felt a different IP would work better.

It doesn’t require a huge theater. Replace Mickey Shorts which already has space in the post-show for the Disney Jr. M&Gs.

If both Muppets area and AC and "underused" but Monsters ends up going in AC, then what happens to uppets area? If they really were considering retheming Muppets area then it's days must still be numbered, no?

Maybe, but at least the park is better in the interim. Launch Bay is very underutilized and a huge footprint and its removal is key to using the large backspace space that if needed to really improve the park. MV is a valuable show that still has decent utilization and is all ages in a park too skewed towards thrills.

That theater should have gotten a new show every 5 years or so, so people didn't get attached to one specific show.
Nothing. It sits there status quo.
The IP mandate from up high only focuses on relevant IP. While Muppets is a much more recognizable IP than Monsters, it seems like it does not have the desirable demographic appeal that Disney wants.
A Muppets E-Ticket to supplement the area would be immensely popular, not because of the inherent brand popularity, but because it would be something new that presumably would be done well. Monster Inc hasn't been relevant for more than a decade, but some executive who's never set foot in a theme park probably thought it was a better idea because more 10 year olds identify with Mike (with an I) than Fozzie Bear.

A Star Wars mini-land has underwhemed and its companion resort lasted like 18 mos.
I don’t deny muppetvision is probably going to go eventually, but hopefully the muppets go somewhere else if they have to. There still is an audience for them.

We went through passport control when we arrived and departed by air in Amsterdam, that was it. There was free movement between Switzerland, Germany, France and the Netherlands. It was just like driving state to state in the US.
