I think some sort of Flights of Wonder-esque show hosted by Kermit and Fozzie has the potential to be pretty good.

Hoping for a Christmas edition of this show come December. That would be a great touch.

While it couldn't be done in Liberty Square, finding a way to do a show in the UK Pavilion for Muppets Christmas Carol would be neat.

Does anyone know if the 1787 sign is still up on the peak of the HOP?

Looks like the calendar is getting updated monthly toward the end of each month. Now extended through 11/26. For some reason, there are no shows on 11/17.

Completely agree. For some reason when I first heard of this I didn't think they were going to use actual Muppets. In my head I kept picturing sophisticated animatronic units. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the actual product and was overjoyed with how they really kept true to the spirit and heart of the Muppets. The characterizations and jokes are spot on. I really hope this is still running in May when I am there. It would be so surreal and magical to see characters I've only ever seen on a screen in person exactly as I've always known them.

I agree. The Muppets are very versatile. Hopefully WDW will retire Journey Into Imagination with Figment and replace it with Journey Into Imagination with The Muppets.

I agree with the sentiment for the Muppets. Who doesn't like them? (Well, I can think of one on this forum.) The more the better I say. But, personally, for this ride I would prefer going back to the original updated with 21st technology. I prefer the more innocent, playful and childlike Figment over the current jokester Figment.

I say combine Journey into imagination with the muppets .Heck You can even include dreamfinder. Have dreamfinder working with the muppets and they discover the figment of imagination. You wouldn't even have to retheme the pavillion that much. Have it be bunsen honeydews lab. HAve a show like this outside the pavilion or where the movie is now.

I never commented here, so I'll start by echoing the opinion that this is a great show and and great idea. And I've never been a Muppets fan.
I love the Declaration of Independence show. Nothing really negative to say about it. Love the format, the song, the length, the crowd interaction. Honestly one of the best shows from Disney that I've seen.
The Paul Revere show is good, but after about the sixth interruption of Sam, it started to become a tad annoying. I felt that in the end, there could've been more jokes that kept the focus on the story of Paul Revere rather than on bickering. It's still good, just not as good.
I like the Declaration of Independence format better. The fact that the characters are in three places helps make it more dynamic and refreshing throughout, and I like the crowd interaction that JJ (is that his name) provides. Not sure why the Paul Revere show does it differently.
Lastly, I hope that they add more Great Moments in the future. I give Disney a big thumbs up on this idea. Glad that it turned out well.

The new Muppet Babies will be CGI, but they look pretty good.

They even have felt built into the "skin", that's really good levels of detail. Nice.
