Muppet What-Not Workshop construction started

[RAXIP]

From http://orlandoparksnews.blogspot.com and taken on 1/24.

It IS right across from Muppets 3D, but the picture doesn't lend much information. It seems to be blocking off Dopey Dr. (access to back of TGMR), but I think that's been blocked off for a long time.

The wall was up for the removal of the Osborne Lights. It has since been removed. (1/31)

I'm not even crazy about the Muppets, but ths shop is a great idea!

i am glad they are doing this is wdw but warning its quite expensive. Here in NYC its $130 for one so I dont know about getting one for your kids on a whim.

Yeah, I saw that after some quick Googling. Not exactly something I'd buy for someone else, but when I go down in December (my first Disney trip without my parents [I'm 23, just a heads up), I'll GLADLY splurge on one for myself.

Any more news on when this will be coming to the parks? :king:

It's a build-a-bear type store, presumably being opened in the Muppet Studios district of DHS, where kids (and adults) can build their own Muppet-styled character. From what I've heard, the store in NYC has been quite successful.

Is it a "Muppet-styled" character? Or can you just make a Muppet? Like say I want a Kermie or a Gonzo, can I just buy/make those?

No, you can only create a "What-Not", which are the extras in a Muppet show/movie.:wave:

Thanks. I guess making myself as a Muppet wouldn't be so bad, but then again I think I would just turn out looking like Janice from Electric Mayhem.

Meh I'd rather have The MUppet Movie Ride but I guess this is good news.

I agree. Having a build a bear with muppets doesn't really excite me...

Reminder

I would just like to remind everybody that these are expensive at $130

It doesn't. They are just replacing the flooring.

Does anyone know where this store is going to be located and the price point?

The only Whatnot workshop is at FAO Scwartz in New York. They cost $130.

It was announced that this was coming to DHS at the D23 Expo. Has this plan been cancelled?

I do not remember them announcing that but from what has been reported this current refurb is not it. Tho only Whatnot workshop currently open in in NY.

My brother and sister in law have been to the one in NYC and both have muppets. At that store you cant build any existing muppets but are suppose to build one that no one has seen before. Either way they are very cool.

I cannot find any confirmation that the WhatNot Workshop is coming to DHS.

I've been looking for a while, but I haven't found anything. Do you have a link to direct us to?

Heard it might be going to DTD instead of DHS.
