Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Is that where Monsters Inc is rumored to be going? If so, I hate that. Muppet Vision is one of the best shows Disney has ever done. It's a must do every trip for me.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
There are two pieces of art - one seemingly depicting Muppets area; the other, Animation Courtyard.
We go to Muppet Vision every trip too, but I really donāt actually care about it one way or the other. I find it a little dull, and Waldo is beyond annoying.
Itās a padded seat. Itās air conditioned. And Iāve been known to ārest my eyesā in there.
The shop is a former shell of its magnificent self. PizzeRizzo was never open past 5:00 the last time we were there. The fountain is still cute though.
I donāt want to lose the Muppets entirely, but MV itself is not especially near and dear to my heart.
I'd much rather get rid of the Animation Courtyard. We never even go there. It seems like a lot more space for a new land, too. Muppets doesn't seem very big.
The article posted on this site earlier suggested that there is a different upcoming, unannounced project for the Animation Courtyard. But that isn't official. MuppetVision is one of the few family-friendly, non-LL attractions in the park, so it'd be a shame to lose that.

Right?! Animation Courtyard is basically a ghost town. Lots of room over there for the Monsters Inc stuff.
It already seems set up nicely for Monstropolis, too, with the courtyard.

Agreed!! My only concern is they were talking about reviving Little Mermaid over there I thought. The Star Wars meet and greets can move over to Galaxy's Edge.
I am not going to lie, I will be heartbroken to lose Muppets. I grew up with Sesame Street and the Muppet Show and loved Jim Henson. Totally ugly cried/sobbed watching his funeral.

Little Mermaid is coming back but the main entrance to the theater is not in the main courtyard, the exit is though as is the exit from the theater for the One Man's Dream (or whatever they are calling the Walt Disney display/movie nowadays). I think Muppets would be a big loss, but I think despite the pushes of Muppets into the spotlight lately I don't know how many younger people and kids know them. Not many of my students the last couple of years did, any reference I made to Kermit or Fozzie etc... kind of fell flat.

I don't remember Jim Henson. I was only 5 but I do like the Muppets. It's a shame they are not really used anymore.
Star Tour would be a big blow for me too because I don't care for Millennium Falcon. Plus, I would rather wait in a 10 minute line.

I can proudly say Iāve done something right as a parent because my 19 yo knows them AND loves them
Honestly, I'd move the Little Mermaid show to the Indiana Jones show area. It wouldn't take much to remodel that area. The Indy show has run its course IMO, and I feel like Little Mermaid draws more crowds. I've never seen the Little Mermaid show, though, so my comment may be way off course.

I don't watch the news much anymore so I have to ask if those space lasers are hitting Canada now too?

Yeah, weāre burning our country to the ground, displacing thousands of people, causing hundreds of millions in property damage just to harass our neighbours (with a āuā) to the south.
Sorry ābout that.
