food IS a theme park
It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights… Although some of us grew up with The Muppets and The Muppet Show, so many others of us know the Muppets through the Disney World attraction Muppet*Vision 3D!
MUPPETS!
And although we occasionally get surprise appearances by The Muppets in the parks, we don’t see a lot of Muppets merchandise (and that is seriously a shame!). But we found a brand new piece of Muppets merchandise today!
Fans of The Muppets: we’ve got big news!
Kermit the Frog Topiary
We love seeing The Muppets get the attention they deserve, from nuiMOs plushes to topiaries at EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival. But now, the iconic crew is being recognized on a MUCH larger scale.
Disney’s pricey posable plush line officially has two new additions!

nuiMOs are posable character plushes that you can dress up in TONS of outfits as they hop around the parks with you. There’s been a whole line-up of characters recently from classics like Mickey and Minnie to newer friends like Stitch and Angel. But two MUPPETS are joining the nuiMOs ranks as Kermit and Miss Piggy make their fantastic debut!
Disney’s latest collection of plush toys and accessories are NOT cheap, but they are absolutely adorable.
Mickey and Minnie nuiMOs
These new posable plush toys are called nuiMOs. They’ve been popular in China and Japan for a while, but now they’re traveling more of the world. So far, we’ve seen nuiMOs plushes of Minnie, Mickey, Donald, Daisy, Stitch, and Angel (along with TONS of accessories) released. But, now Disney has teased 2 new nuiMO plushes that will be released soon! Want a clue about who will be joining the gang? We’ll just say this — it’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights.
Sometimes, you just gotta spend a week thinking about puppets.

No? Just us? Okay, but you don’t know WHICH puppets we’re talking about! Next week we’re going to have the greatest and funniest puppets of all time on the brain — The Muppets! Two super fun virtual events are happening and you won’t want to miss them!
The streaming library on Disney+ is growing and new shows and films are being released often!

And the coming months and years, the library will only continue to grow with original series and films! But for fans of the classics, there’s one series coming to Disney+ soon that you’ll likely be interested in —Â The Muppet Show!
Disney’s a big fan of holiday specials, and we’ve seen several so far this year!

Last month, we watched The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration, and we laughed along with the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special that premiered on Disney+. Disney Magic Holiday Quest was also new this year and featured Disney Channel stars participating in an overnight scavenger hunt at Magic Kingdom. Now there’s a Disney-themed holiday addition coming to a place you wouldn’t expect — an NFL game!
We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the news for you this week. Today we have the details on the latest in the Disney theme parks and MORE!

See all of our coverage on Disney park reopenings HERE. We still have a LOT to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in… .
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party may be canceled this year, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t getting ALL kinds of holiday entertainment all around Disney World!
Toy Soldiers in Magic Kingdom
Holiday cavalcades are coming, Santa is headed to Disney Springs (via boat!), and a holiday scavenger hunt will be available for you to enjoy in Disney Springs. But today we spotted a holiday character interaction we didn’t expect to see at all!
Although we’ve been seeing our favorite characters in the parks since Disney World re-opened, we are SO hyped that the Muppets have returned to Disney+!
