There is a building being built right behind ST that will be to house cast costumes. Sadly, insiders have said it will get an overlay or demo'd sometime after 2019/2020.
Wonder what the new sign will look like. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm glad they're paying attention to the aesthetics of this area. Maybe this means they'll be making other small changes to improve the Courtyard's placemaking. Right now, I don't feel much of a sense of place there, but Muppets is a beloved IP for many people, so perhaps there's potential for meaningful placemaking...
The abandoned area by the lightning McQueen and mater meet n greet and phineas and ferb meet n greet. Disney should do something with that to integrate it into Muppets courtyard

Disgusting!They won't since Disney owns them...If they did It would Be Disney Present's Muppet*Vision 3D. Although in the theater the movie is called...
Although I haven't been there since Jan 2016 I'm really hoping they have removed that obiquitous video of Constantine hacking the preshow has finally been removed....
That area will become back stage for SWL. It's off the table for MC.

Really? They missed the fact that it's really called The Muppet Theater..They could have replicated the El Capitan Logo that was used in the movie...What the heck is the Grand Arts Theater? Sounds too Community College-ish...

I got curious about this when Martin mentioned this name-change in a post some time ago. Surprised so many here missed it.
The point is...it's not the Muppet theater anymore. It's the Grand Arts Theater.
The real question perhaps should be...when does the Frozen show from DL move in?

It's not, nor is there plans to. Nor to mention the theater wouldn't even work for the DCA version of the show. Not without major modification. Perhaps don't let the hate block your logic.

Wow, really? Yet Disneyland managed to repurpose its Muppets theater just fine...
But hey, no doubt WDW is a-okay with running a 26-year-old film in that area forever and ever and ever...
(*snort* "logic") Anyway, this marquee is a vast improvement. With this and the balloon gone, the area's aesthetics have gone up a notch. I'd get more excited about the upcoming wall and passageway if it weren't leading to another dopey acquisition-based area. Ah well...

I think there was some confusion between the Frozen stage show that replaced Aladdin and the Frozen sing-a-long that replaced Muppetvision, but at DHS the sing-a-long currently plays in the former American Idol theatre.

Maybe it's a way they can change it in the future while spending less money to update the sign.I wouldn't put it past them.Really?

We all thought the new sign would be an upgrade but, as always, it's a drop in quality. Not only does it look cheap and boring but what the h*ll is "Grand Arts Theatre"?? When are we going to learn with TDO?
