  • Rizzo and a Pal

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F

    Rizzo the Rat is a sly Muppet rat who loves to eat and play tricks on others. He speaks with a Brooklyn accent and is often paired with Gonzo. The two have been best friends ever since.

  • Collecting Cash

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F

    The rats boat is filled with coins. Part of it is the sculpture but much of it looks to be from people who have been tossing coins into the fountain. I wonder how the custom of tossing coins into a fountain got started.Read more

  • Miss Piggy

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F

    Miss Piggy, dressed as the Statue of Liberty, is the centerpiece of the Muppets fountain. Since her debut in 1976, Miss Piggy has been notable for her temperamental diva superstar personality, a tendency to use French phrases in her speech, and the practice of karate.Read more

  • Piggy Trivia

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F

    Believe it or not, Miss Piggy has a name. In The Muppet Show episode 106, Miss Piggy is referred to by the full name "Piggy Lee" and in episode 116, Piggy tells guest star Avery Schreiber that Piggy is short for "Pigathius", "from the Greek, meaning "river of passion".Read more

  • Pizza Planet

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F

    Oddly, the restaurant from Toy Story, Pizza Planet, is located in the Muppets area. I think that I would rather see a Muppets themed restaurant here. I understand that Toy Story, and Pixar, are very popular but it just seems out of place here.Read more

  • Wet Paint

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 82 °F

    Muppet gags and silly shenanigans are all over this area. Before seeing the Muppets 3D movie, the main attraction here, spend some time walking around to take in all the funny sights surrounding you.

  • Let it Snow!

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 81 °F

    Right near the Muppets Store is a Christmas store. This is a nice idea for a shop and I love how the area surrounding the store is decorated to look like snow. They’ve even included a snowman!

  • Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 81 °F

    I’m sorry to say that aside from a few nice displays, like this one of Dr. Teeth and the band, this was a very disappointing shop. There was hardly any muppets merchandise at all! This is, basically, a standard Disney gift shop, selling the same things as all the other ones. I really wish that the Disney parks would have a lot more specialized shops and merchandise.Read more

  • Muppet Vision 3-D

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 81 °F

    It’s now time to see the main attraction of this area, Muppet Vision 3-D. This, obviously, is a 3-D movie presentation. The jokes and humor is typical of the Muppets and the 3-D effects are very well done. I always see this show when I visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios.Read more

  • The Pre-Show

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 81 °F

    The pre-show presentation isn’t that great and feels overly long. I’m much more interested to wander around the room and take in all of the many sight gags. There’s so much to see here but everyone ignores it, focusing instead on the screens that play the pre-show.Read more

  • Pre-Show Over

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 81 °F

    Of course, I had to be the last one to enter the theatre so that I could get a shot of an empty pre-show area. It doesn’t look like much now, just stacked up piles of junk, but there’s lots of good stuff to look at in there.Read more

  • MuppetVision Theater

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 81 °F

    In every theater in the Disney parks, an announcement is played telling people to move all the way down the row before sitting down but, sadly, many people don’t listen. They walk to the center of the theater and just sit down, thinking that the rules are for everyone except them.Read more

  • Muppet’s Land

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 79 °F

    I think that I’ve seen everything there is to see in Muppets Land. It’s time to move on to the next area. I’m very surprised how much I’ve accomplished touring on my own. I must say, I’m enjoying this solo trip more than I thought.Read more

  • City Streets

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 79 °F

    While walking back to the rest of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, I passed this area made up to look like the old time streets of New York City. A lot of this area is designed to show off some Hollywood camera tricks, like forced perspectives. How interesting!Read more

  • A Path Less Traveled

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 79 °F

    Walking back to the center of the park by a different way let’s me see more of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I’m glad that I came this way. It’s a lot less crowded and the view is beautiful!

  • Back to Grauman’s

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 79 °F

    I’m back in the center of the park but where did everyone go? I’m surprised, but happy, to find the place so empty. I’m guessing that most people are making their way over to the big stage to see Fantasmic. I should start heading over there myself.Read more

  • A Closer Look

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 79 °F

    With it being so empty, I’m sure I could just walk right on to the Great Movie Ride but I’ve already been on this attraction twice today. I really should get over to Fantasmic.

  • The Marquee

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 79 °F

    I really love this marquee! The design just screams out classic Hollywood and the neon colors really pop! It looks great during the day but at night it’s amazing!

  • Exodus

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 79 °F

    I suppose that the parks are looking so empty because the mass exodus of people leaving has begun. It’s probably dinner time for a lot of people and many people with small children are ready to call it a day since the kids are exhausted.Read more

  • Time to Leave

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 79 °F

    Despite many people leaving, I’m sure that the staging area for Fantasmic is still going to be crowded. I’d better start going there now. I want to get a good seat for the show.

  • Hot Fresh Popcorn

    October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 79 °F

    I’m starting to feel very hungry but I don’t want to go to a restaurant now and possibly miss seeing Fantasmic. I guess that my dinner tonight is going to be hot and fresh popcorn. It’s not what I was planning on but it’s quick and convenient. Tasty, too!Read more
