I went to #JollywoodNights at Disney's Hollywood Studios, primarily because I was very excited to hear that the Muppets (or at least Kermit and Miss Piggy) would be hosting the Disney Holidays in Hollywood live stage show (along with special guests Tiana, Belle, Mickey and Minnie Mouse).
It did my heart good to hear the crowd erupt in cheers whenever Kermit and Piggy appeared.
Please, Disney powers-that-be: pay attention. Give us more Muppets content.
While I loved the #JollywoodNights Disney Holidays in Hollywood (the corny holiday special variety show vibes! The choreography! Did I mention #TheMuppets?)...
I did do a double-take when Minnie Mouse's rendition of "Deck the Halls" included the line "Don we now our cozy sweaters / I can think of nothing better" instead of the traditional* "Don we now our gay apparel / Troll the ancient Christmas carol"
*Wikipedia says the original English lyrics were "Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel" 🤷
@fuzzymitten It was great! The Muppets also made an appearance at EPCOT's Food and Wine Festival in the form of little pre-recorded Muppet Labs Skits shown on screens in a Muppet Labs-themed eatery, so I was steeling myself for a similar situation at Jollywood Nights. I've never been so happy to be wrong!
Even when I know that there are puppeteers behind the scenes, it's still magical to see them moving and talking and going "Yaaaaaay!"
