Muppets Mini-Land / Muppets Courtyard Additions & Refurbishments

I'm afraid to ask what it has now...

Disney Pizza is in the conversation for the worst food on property.

Except for the Pizzas at Via Napoli which had the best pizza.

 

[brb1006]

Yeah, I just don't get the quick service pizza (the flatbreads look better than the other pizza they used to serve), but I never found it THAT awful. I always try to find different things to eat. This go around I gave a lot of the specialty macaroni and cheese (one at MK and one at AK) a shot. The pork sliders at DHS at Min & Bill's, the beef bowl at Satuli Canteen ...

I get great pizza at home and If I want a burger on the cheap I'll go to McDonald's ... both a burger and pizza (besides Blaze) aren't really worth it at MK. But I'm not one who needs to eat those things when there. I'm not knocking picky eaters but I'm very very glad I'm not one of them lol.

If you want to find good pizza at WDW visit the Italy Pavilion next time.

This..

The other phases are gone. The rumored Phase 3 became the Mickey Ride for later which became the Mickey Ride for sooner than later. Which then leaves nothing solid except blue-sky spit-balling white-boarding stuff. Replacing some of the entertainment was supposed to be sooner than later, but then became sometime later. One dast not touch the Beauty and the Beast show at this time of a billion dollar movie. Star Tours will in 2020 or 2021 become... something else.

So:

• TSL for 2018
• SWL & Mickey Ride for 2019

Beyond that, nothing firm, just vagaries.

That was the plan when the DHS project had four phases and $2.8 bn.

I'm hoping that at least if the idea was existing at some point and had some support that it would be potentially be on the table down the road. After Star Wars opens, there are gonna do something with Launch Bay, so hopefully they dust off the "connecting Animation Courtyard with the RNR area" plans and build something there that expands guest areas and offerings.

Apart from on fan forums there is no plan.

That's not Disney pizza. I'm talking the generic Disney Pizza that's thankfully only served at PizzeRizzo now (it might be at the resorts too).

Aw. That's too bad.

 

[marni1971]

Aw. That's too bad.

There would be no appreciative reason to do it, it wouldn't be any quicker to get to and from and Sunset does the required job. And was built to handle more people than it does.

Even if something is finally built on the Ranch plot that would only be a minute off of the hub.

Coming at you live! More paint added to the remaining SoA buildings. They're actively doing this during the day. Storms must've messed their schedule up. This weekend will probably be the last one where you can see any of the old paint job. Also the walls have closed in towards the Muppet Courtyard side of things. I brought my DSLR so I'll upload some photos when I get home.

 

[danlb_2000]

@marni1971, is something going to be built between the courtyard and the street?

 

[marni1971]

A brick wall.

The peach on the Chevrolet building and the blue on the one next to it look great but the Yellow? I am not a fan. I know they are just getting started and there's more layers of paint to come but they should have left the brick alone.

Was it really brick?

Well, sorta... my guess is plastic brick. Similar to Legos.

Interesting color choices - not exactly evoking a NYC street vibe. Really curious to see what they have planned for this transition area.

They're going for a more Hollywood vibe to match the front of the park, hence the change in color palette.

 

[Thanks phoenicians]

I'm hoping Mama melrose's gets rethemed to fit the muppets mini land, however I could see them keeping it as is since its a pretty neutral theme right now and who knows how long this area will stick around due to Star wars expansion in the future.

This then would explain the decision to build an art deco-era tunnel transition into Star Wars Land.

Exactly. I believe Marni was the one who said all this awhile back.
