Replacing the muppets would be such a bad decision but I’m sure we will see the typical Disney defenders come out of the woodwork to explain why it makes perfect sense and how we need to get with the times.

It would be a shame to loose muppet courtyard but I can kinda see why they would go that direction as that corner of the park has been dead for well over a decade. Even when I was a CP custodian in 2009, that area was always dead except for when the Brazilians were sprawled out on the concrete (it was actually nice that they used that out of the way area so we didn't discourage it) or when the Osbourne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights was up and going.

I expect to be told down to how no one actually cares about Muppets like what happened last time, like so
(This was their most upvoted post regarding all the WDW D23 announcements btw, even more than villains)

The day of reckoning draws near, in all seriousness what do we think happens today? Is Muppets or Animation Courtyard not going to survive today
Muppets:
1.) It’s a weird spot to put Monsters in the middle of Star Tours and Galaxy Edge where that area can be used for Star Wars
2.) On the other hand, it seems to have the facilities that could support Monsters.
3.) Land would likely not be as expansive
Animation Courtyard:
1.) Mermaid show delayed
2.) Barren courtyard besides Launch Bay
3.) Very expansive land if supporting buildings are removed
4.) May be hard to work around the mermaid building
5.) Much more costly
As I said before, I have always loved Muppets. As everyone else here, I am hoping that it survives this round. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t excited for the door coaster. Monsters Inc is very deserving of an amazing land and I really hope it gets the treatment it deserves. Monstropolis could truly be something special. Muppets if chosen, would be a blow to the park. I hope they continue to have a presence in WDW.

For myself, I think Muppets in question is worse then ROA and TSL.

Is AC any more expensive though? I mean they would have to demolish the office building but you have to demolish stuff for Muppets to work too. And it's a small space and is in between two large attractions while removing one that will heavily upset fans. So really, what's the benefit to Muppets?

If you demolish that office building you have the added expense of relocating all of those offices.

The biggest, and only one I can think about is cost. The preexisting structures could be repurposed for Monsters, that’s the biggest benefit to Muppets.

Wasn't it reported that folks there had to be relocated already?

Someone posted to social media they were told they were moving but we didn't hear anything else and haven't heard anything since then.

One person reported that their office was being relocated. That doesn’t mean much either way as offices/departments are often shifted around for a variety of reasons.

Better yet, Brian and his siblings could buy the Muppets back from Disney (those kids HAVE to be rolling in dough, right, since they sold their father's puppets TWICE?) and then THEY could manage the IP, since, according to some, it's mean ol' short-sighted Disney's fault that the puppets keep failing over and over (which is not true. Disney pretty much just finances the Muppets' projects. That's it. So maybe it's the people BEHIND the puppets that keep screwing up? Surely nobody really believes that Disney came up with the idea for the puppets to use profanity on their prime-time ABC network show?)
Hey, maybe Brian would actually hire some female puppeteers!

You do realize The Muppets and older Jim Henson works had female puppeteers for years now.Better yet, Brian and his siblings could buy the Muppets back from Disney (those kids HAVE to be rolling in dough, right, since they sold their father's puppets TWICE?) and then THEY could manage the IP, since, according to some, it's mean ol' short-sighted Disney's fault that the puppets keep failing over and over (which is not true.

Josh is waiting until we all drop dead of a heart attack worrying about the future of Muppets just to go "Nah its Courtyard I'm just goofing with ya" isn't he?

No news, is absolutely bad news.
Best case: Muppets saves us from Hall of Presidents in MK + Muppet Vision gets returned to California Adventure.
