We got something more festive & happy to talk about in tomorrow’s vid I promise :) thanks all for watching & listening to this 30 something year old loose her mind over some puppets :D
💯I’m turning 50 next year ❤Jim Henson and Muppets & all movies 💕 the Dark Crystal. Always be yourself, there is a lot of people out there just like you with your same opinion🔥🔥
@@CristheGirl u do have a point thou!!! They need to be better !!! I was thinking thou maybe u and Tampa have a pic u can sign and send my say ? I can send for the shipping and sigs of course through any money app … just let me know and thank u Chris
On a positive beat, maybe instead of viewing this as oh no they’re taking away my muppets, view it as wow I got to witness and see this extraction for over 30+ years throughout my entire life and loved it every time. Because some people have never seen this attraction and didn’t get the privilege of walking into Disney after school. You’re an annual pass holder. You get to witness these changes. Some of us won’t ever get to.
She’s mentioned several times how grateful she is to be able to go so often , she’s just obviously going to miss the attraction itself, which is understandable.
@@tabithalacouture6042 yes. That's why I said on a positive beat. Cris is totally valid in her feelings I was just saying on times where the anger and frustration is rushing in, is when we often have to lean into being grateful even more than usual.
I grew up on Jim Henson and it makes me so sad. I love Muppets 3d 😢 Star Wars launch bay is so random and out of place there now. It’s def just because they keep putting out so much Star Wars content that they’re keeping it. The accessibility aspect is truly getting to an unforgivable place. I don’t understand what they are doing.
Preach girl! Everyone is entitled to their opinions and I agree with you especially about all people should be able to get the most of their day and do a good amount especially with the prices! I too love the Muppet ride maybe not as passionate as you but it’s sad because it’s genuinely old school and you don’t get rides like that anymore, more screen the ride now a days, and for me that’s the worse I love animatronics ( in this case muppet interaction) and scenery to capture the moment for you!
I was right there with you until you said, "If Disney is going to listen to anybody, it's gonna be you." That's the problem. Disney hasn't listened to us for years. Why would they start now?
Omg yet another Disney sucks vlog, Disney as a business needs to make money, bring in the people and let's be honest muppets isn't doing that, prior to the announcement of it going, the only time you went to muppets is to chill, sit down or get away from the rain, New rides, new merch is better for business, like rivers im glad they are moving ahead, they need to, to take on epic
I hate to say it. Because I've been going to WDW since like 74-75. But Disney is not want Walt envisioned. These people running the company now are more interested in their $$ than what Walt stood for
It pains me to see how Disney is losing it’s luster and the vision that Walt wanted. I will be going to WDW December 8-14 which will most likely be my final trip. I have grown up with Disney and actually first met the “mouse” in 1965 when I was three at Disneyland , and have been hooked ever since. But sadly the corporation is taking a different route.
What about contacting the jim henson foundation and tell them what is going on at disney. Maybe they would be willing to reach out to Disney especially since it was jim’s finally project back in 1990s.
You know, not only the foundation; and I would hope they’ve gotten this news, and aren’t happy about it; what about some of the celebrities that have appeared over the years not only on Sesame Street; but the Muppet Show as well. I imagine there are those that have directly worked with Jim Henson before his passing. I would think endorsement from someone of their caliber would have some weight.
Merry Creepmas, Cris! As a Mom of adult twins, who are legally blind, I just want to reach out through my tears and thank you for using your platform to represent EVERYONE. My sons carry standard flip phones, due to their vision, and apps on smart phones for Disney eliminate them from Virtual Queues, Lightning lanes, access to their tickets, etc. The new system is not user friendly for those with visual impairments and/or mobility issues. Thank you again, so many of us are in your corner and appreciate your support of all those who are uniquely- abled. Hugs ❤
I feel your pain. I'm a big fan of and grew up with Jim Henson's work (SESAME STREET, THE MUPPET SHOW, the various films, MUPPET BABIES, etc.). I truly appreciate your love for the Muppets and MUPPETS 3-D. And from the footage you've posted in your videos, the show looks hilarious and family friendly. I'm sure at least 75% of Disney visitors, AND EVEN THE EMPLOYEES AND OFFICE EMPLOYEES, grew up with at least one form of Jim Henson's Muppets, but to hear Disney's plans is heartbreaking. YES, MUPPETS ARE MEANT TO BE SEEN AND HEARD!!!
I commend Cris for standing up, not only to what Disney has become, but also, to her own sense of hardwired sentimentality which she has overcome intellectually. Also, I commend Jay for his support, too, because they could be profiting from her past affiliations. Disney was once about justice not hustling. At least, that's what their stories are about.
I went to Disney World with some friends I worked with, we flew down on a Friday the 13th when the Tower of Terror opened, we actually met Elvira and her guys in person that day. Nobody else was there, so the 4 of us got to ride it most of the day!
Preach, sister! I have a love/hate relationship with Disney. As a 90s kid I have a huge soft spot for Disney. However, I hate all this crap they do. Disney does NOT care about people. All they care about is the bottom line. But this whole situation pisses me off. It’s a slap in the face to Jim Henson’s legacy and again they are doing away with something everyone can enjoy.
I know this is probably gonna be a bad take for a lot of people… But, I genuinely don’t understand why Disney people take it so personally when something changes. I fully can absolutely understand nostalgia and tradition. But, when all is said and done, Disney is simply just a massive corporation who is looking out for its own progress and profits. They want money that’s it. Younger people don’t care about or know the muppets or areosmith. Not saying all obviously. But, yeah…
Very true but as far as kids not caring about the Muppets, kids care about what us fed to them by said corporations. If Disney didn't shove Mickey Mouse like they did, he'd be gone in a few generations, too.
I think changing rockin roller coaster to Powerline (A Goofy Movie) would go over for sure! Same idea as it is now but, you are going to a Powerline concert! They can blast "Eye to Eye" or "Stand out"
As a person born in the late 80's and growing up watching Jim hensens magic which was known as the muppets I can completely understand where your coming from. I might not have ever visited the theme park nor have I experienced the muppet vision show, I still would have to say that its more than just a muppet show, it's Jim's legacy and years of hard work. That's just my perception on the subject matter. As always Cris, all the love and support.
The best way to get to them is to cancel your pass and not go into the parks. Many of their metrics are based on attendance, which is most likely why they are closing the Muppets attraction. Not many people go into that area or that attraction. That said, driving almost 2 hours and walking around a park which you say you wanna burn down spend a couple of hours there and drive almost 2 hours back home seems like a weird choice. Saying you’re not gonna spend the money to go to Jollywood Nights, then spending around $700 for 4 tickets to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas party doesn’t make sense not including food, merch, etc. If you’re mad at them, hope it goes down, and are that upset why do you keep going? I get you need to make videos and need ideas, but it seems counterproductive to do these types of videos and then keep your AP, buy your parents APs, and buy tickets to after hour events. Not to mention at some point someone working for Disney will end up seeing this and end up getting band from the parks due to the language used. There’s a ton of free Christmas events in Tampa and the surrounding areas that would be great to see. I’m not trying to be critical, it’s just confusing and it seems like you spend a lot of time and money on something you say you hate now. There’s so much stress in our lives as it is, why add to it. Find something else you enjoy like your plants, other parks, maybe vegetarian restaurants in the area, or if you like Jim Henson maybe do a series of vlogs on the muppets and Jim Henson’s life. Gatorland is having a Christmas events, there’s several haunted Christmas events, Celebration Florida, Christmas lights, Gaylord palms ICE, Snowcat Ridge, and other things. You can always talk about your Disney grievances from somewhere else or a pretty garden, or some place you think is worth going to. I have anxiety so I can’t imagine going and sitting in the parks saying those things and not being constantly worried that someone will overhear and report me or say I’m making threats but I don’t have a RUclips channel so I don’t know how any of that works. In any case take care of yourself and do what makes you happy.
Jim Henson is an icon. What he and Walt Disney had in common was imagination. That seems to be disappearing in the theme parks, because of greed and pandering to a certain demographic. The news of the river boat ‘s demise only to cement the area for Cars(!?) Now the muppets is truly disheartening. You’d think there would be a reverence to retain the 3D show at least, and utilize the buildings that virtually hold nothing.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Disney Parks had put money into the upkeep of the Muppets show a few months ago . . . and have now decided to get rid of it for the sake of two roller coasters? Is that right?
I'm completely with you when it comes to change. Change is a necessity, and isn't always a bad thing. But this doesn't feel like they're making a calculated choice to change a long time ride in order to invest in future park goers. It feels like they're scrapping everything they can to fit in as much "new" and "trendy" stuff as they can. Chasing fads instead of investing in future park goers.
And also Cris , why hasnt Disney switched the inside out 2 sneek peek back to one mans dream yet ? Inside out 2 is available on Disney plus. I am really upset about this.
We stopped going to Disney. Don’t like the direction of their vision and the prices are ridiculous. Shame on you Disney! You can do so much better and we know this because of what we have experienced in the past Disney days.
I'm with you Cris, I used to get on all the rides at fun fairs etc but now I have vestibular migraines which cause vertigo 🤢, if I ever get to come to Disneyworld I would be limited in that park, well most parks by the look of it. I love the muppets and I agree that if there are spare buildings, things that could be moved to other lands etc these should be looked at first, because it's cheaper than doing a full refit on a new ride. It's also true that you want people to have choices, when at a park, even if you are with a group of some thrill seekers, it's rare that a whole family is like that. The muppets show is a great place to relax inside, available to many people with disabilities and inside so it's cool which is very needed too.
I also wanted to say thank you for making this video. Its important. It made me so sad to hear that want to get rid of this attraction. I listened to the Rainbow Connection 🌈 song after watching this video. Your so right about accessibility for all. My son has epilepsy and autism and struggled with many rides due to both. I will do my part to support them keeping this theater. Thank you again for making this and having such a big heart ♥️ Jim would thank you too!
Yeah, I don't like it either. But if things just stay the same forever, eventually they lose their taste. Why else do you think menus at restaurants change all the time? I know change is scary, but that doesn't mean it has to be bad. You're focusing on the negative too much
Hey cris . Your right it’s a travesty that the muppets is going . Fond memories of that attraction. Muppets is world wide for everyone…… makes no sense why ! Cris keep your calm tho , I don’t like seeing you upset . Your spirt and sensitivity is a quality and your better than the cooperation. Have a great holidays with TJ and see you in new year .🎅🥰
OMG. the Bee 😱, you were so brave, I love bumble bee's and I tolerate all the others but this would have pushed me. Also, I so love to see people fighting for what they are passionate about, so if there is a way a girl in Scotland can help, or any of us outside the US really, let us know. We can take a few seconds to sign things or whatever, if folk are planning a holiday there, they can let people know they want to get on that ride.
I’m like you too. I can’t ride a lot of rides too. I’m mad that Disney is doing what they’re doing. It’s all about money with them. Their merchandise is super expensive too. I wanted a mickeys not so scary Halloween party pin but it was too expensive to buy.
Im so bummed about Muppetvision. Is it cool to get rockin' Rollercoaster retheme? Yeah, sure. But Muppetvision is very important. Jim Henson's last production and his last time voicing and performing Kermit! Even with the new Muppet stuff you wont get Jim Henson as Kermit. Its sad what Disney has done since buying muppets. Heck they even removed Jim Henson's name from the sign at Muppetvision after they bought it! Idk this decision, which has me scratching my head. Makes no sense why they would put monsters inc there and not the studio courtyard. Anyways, long comment 😂
You are so right through out this video. Disney has become one big rip off money machine. It cost about $200 just to get in then you have to pay per ride off you want to ride. Dollywood is a better choice for the money.
Hi Cris! Saving Mr. Banks ... if you've seen the film, you'll get where I'm going with this without spoilers, lol. If Mr. Banks is running Disney itself, exactly HOW do you go about saving him from himself? Quite a dilemma there. Sadly, it might well be that we are approaching the "end times" for REAL inclusion, or, as you put it so well, "Welcome to Six Flags Disney". Hope I'm wrong, or just a worry wart, but it does seem like its all about the Benjamins with them these days. Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg are my "home parks". Busch Gardens holds a place in my heart, and I agree with the hype that it is the most beautiful park in America.( Don't we all feel that way about our home parks deep down)? Chin up, Cris, you've got this. ❤
I am mad with what Disney did to Star Wars! This past few months i was thinking on giving Disney a shot but i only see RUclipsrs talking about Disney creating sequels for Star Wars that we don't need! I hope that George Lucas get's Star Wars back! I am going to buy only a few lightsabers and helmets from the Disney Store and that's it... Hasbro, Lego, brands who make statues too, i know that disney is receiving money from them but this is not the brands fault and will not stop like or buy merch from George Lucas SW legacy content. Disney is going downhill like hbo is too... Just heard that Snape character is going to be played by a black person (no hate but this is not whats in the books)! This industrys are just messing with us...
I agree with you on everything I hate roller coaster rides I can’t do fast rides cause I get motion sickness too I can only do kids rides that are slow I’m sad that Disney world is getting a cars land too cause they’re ain’t much to do in there and all their rides are way too fast for me my sister in law was bummed too about the muppets show too she voiced her feelings about it too which is why we aren’t going to Disney world for my nieces 10th birthday we decided that we are just gonna go back to Disneyland instead cause they are pretty much gonna be the same now idk if they are doing the monsters inc slow ride so kids can ride it but I completely understand and agree with you on everything it’s sad that Disney is doing that and I agree I wish it was more affordable to go for lower income families too like I feel the last time we went we as in me my mom and sister didn’t really get to enjoy it cause of the whole QR codes and timing just to make it to each ride it was really exhausting just waiting and i literally had a heat stroke in the park which was fun my mom thought she was gonna have to take me to the hospital but I pulled through ended up taking a cool shower the next day but still they should definitely make it more accessible to handicap people and people who have motion sickness issues now everyone likes to throw around like a rag doll it’s not fun at all
I agrée. You are not crazy to want more relaxing, more accessible areas. And it feels good to go see some nostalgic things sometimes. I love ´make it Star Wars Disney, I dare you ´.😂
You are trying to apply logic to a company run by Scrooge McDuck where money is King and customer satisfaction is no longer a consideration. To squeeze the most money out of their customer with the least amount of effort
There’s so many special needs children and teens, so even the argument that it’s just for the kids is invalid because special needs kids need attractions too. I agree with you, it’s just not right or fair. Whole families go so there needs to be things for the whole family to enjoy together.
Morning Chris the girl and Tampa Jay it's Friday 3rd of December just watched your video 📹 I'm so sorry to hear that Disney won't be having the 3D muppet show or rides anymore I could tell just how upset you were the muppets are the biggest 💔 thing of all times ⏲️ please don't get yourself to upset and cry I know just how hard it is for you I really feel for you 💔 I do understand just how you feel l used to love watching the muppets on telly 📺 when my daughter was a little girl she always enjoy watching them too i agree with everything you said in your video 📹 love you both take care love from Michelle over here in Nottingham in England ♥️ ❤️ 😘 💖 💕 💙 😊😅😂
I’m disappointed that Disney is moving away from their immersive experience attractions. I know the parks were always meant to be ever changing but replacing these classics with nothing but screens and nausea inducing rides ain’t it.
I'm not a hard-core fan of Disney, so what I hear about them is typically from the non-fans, and tbh, their reputation is trash right now. Star Wars fans hate what they've done to the franchise, and other fans of franchises bought by Disney feel the same. As soon as Disney buys it, it will get destroyed isthe common view from what I've seen. But Disney keeps barreling on and they're losing money and fans. The complaints are always that Disney cares more about the politics than the story or the legacy.
So Sad 😞 I grew up with Disney and the Muppets when I lived in Florida. Jim Hanson needs his own theme park doesn’t have to be that big, but Jim Henson did so much including all his movies. Honestly, I’m more of a Jim Henson fan, not Disney guess there no need to ever go back 😞😞
Jim Henson was an amazing creator, he had such a huge impact on our culture. Would love to see him have his own theme park that would be amazing haha. Thank you for watching!
Totally agree with you. These days some so called decision makers don’t care about people and the big picture of the availability to those with issues who visit the parks and young, older families. How many rides have failed leaving riders stuck and hanging in mid air. Thats scary but they don’t care as long as the money keeps rolling in.
As you are walking thru some of this park, the thing that hit me was how the buildings there look more like an industrial park or strip mall...the outside of those buildings lack luster and appeal...its like they put a park interest in an old Kmart store.
That is really sad to tear all that down when theres empty space with no action to use instead. It doesn't make sense cuz Jim Hensons section is going strong. I wish you could send this video to Disney n have them change their mind.
I get it that you are angry with ( Disney). I totally agree with you on all the changes. But I would call his family as sell outs. If his family truly believed in his dreams they would still be hand's on!!!! It's all about money not the children anymore.
I agree with you! Keep the 3-D Muppets!! I’m 62 now and can’t really ride the roller coaster anymore. I hope your message resonates with the powers that be. 👍
It’s such a love/hate relationship for me. We recently visited and hadn’t been to DL in a few years. Most of the changes sucked, but those few things they’ve kept the same (Tiki Room) brought back so many good memories. I’ll be back too, if only to see things they wisely left alone.
My kids are a little older than you and Jay, about by 10 years. But they grew up on The Muppet Show. Even my eldest grandson, age 22, loves some of the Muppets!
Muppet 3D was the last thing that Jim Henson worked on before he passed. I heard that they are changing the Rockin Coaster to a Muppet Mayhem Coaster !!!
As a former1980's WDW cast member ,I feel like a part of myself is dying since they are doing away with Tom Sawyers Island and the Riverboat and The Rivers of America. I enjoyed working there on Tom Sawyers Island and feel that part of my life will no longer exist now ,It makes me sad 😢.
It's really sad to see them replacing the Jim Henson Muppets Vision 3D with something else because I've been a fan of the Muppets for years and nice to hear you relive memories of going there seeing the Muppets and I hope everything works out take care and have a Merry Christmas Cris. 🎄💗👍🎄
Well said. This is the lowest that Disney has ever done. Changes can be great , but there's a right way to make changes and there's a wrong way to make changes. This is definitely the wrong way.
Cris, is there an online Save Muppet Vision 3-D petition? I love this attraction so much, sad to see it go by the wayside 😢. Can you pin links to Disney execs etc social media where you can post about preserving this slice of history?
There are people that do not like coasters like disabled young children they should think about something else not rollercoasters all the time you hear of accidents about rollercoasters they are not thrill rides yes there are people who like them but too me and other people that do not like them think of something else and not rollercoasters all the time just my thoughts
If you love Disney you should go to Europa Park in Germany a lot of the Disney imagineers went there and their rides are so much better than Disney world

Sounds like it’s time for you guys to not buy passes anymore since it’s upsetting you
I am absolutely offended that muppet vision is going away.
Don't get me wrong, I am excited for new attractions, but I just wish it didn't have to replace something that's already there.

I like your long videos, especially during vlogmas! Keep it up!
Cris, I think Bob Iger and his team have no idea what people want to see. I have loved the Muppets since Jim Henson made them.
Jim Henson is an icon. What he and Walt Disney had in common was imagination. That seems to be disappearing in the theme parks, because of greed and pandering to a certain demographic.
The news of the river boat ‘s demise only to cement the area for Cars(!?) Now the muppets is truly disheartening. You’d think there would be a reverence to retain the 3D show at least, and utilize the buildings that virtually hold nothing.
Just like you said last time about Disney and here you are again 😒
MUPPETS was never you....
Disney just keeps making the wrong decisions - I have lost all faith in them.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Disney Parks had put money into the upkeep of the Muppets show a few months ago . . . and have now decided to get rid of it for the sake of two roller coasters? Is that right?
I'm completely with you when it comes to change. Change is a necessity, and isn't always a bad thing. But this doesn't feel like they're making a calculated choice to change a long time ride in order to invest in future park goers. It feels like they're scrapping everything they can to fit in as much "new" and "trendy" stuff as they can. Chasing fads instead of investing in future park goers.
And also Cris , why hasnt Disney switched the inside out 2 sneek peek back to one mans dream yet ? Inside out 2 is available on Disney plus. I am really upset about this.
Need a Dark Crystal ride.
Good idea!
Regardless of the opinions of others, your feelings are valid. You get to be upset about things that upset you.
I imagine Josh There's No Tomorrow get up on the podium at d23 and gets booed out of the building
Josh is going to look like he's going to have pizza sauce covered on this year though
And whatever they put in that show building is not going to be anything greater than Muppet Vision 3D
We stopped going to Disney. Don’t like the direction of their vision and the prices are ridiculous. Shame on you Disney! You can do so much better and we know this because of what we have experienced in the past Disney days.
I don't ride roller coasters or thrill rides so it's definitely sad when they replace the more accessible attractions for them.
I can't ride them because of my anxiety disorder :(
I'm with you Cris, I used to get on all the rides at fun fairs etc but now I have vestibular migraines which cause vertigo 🤢, if I ever get to come to Disneyworld I would be limited in that park, well most parks by the look of it. I love the muppets and I agree that if there are spare buildings, things that could be moved to other lands etc these should be looked at first, because it's cheaper than doing a full refit on a new ride. It's also true that you want people to have choices, when at a park, even if you are with a group of some thrill seekers, it's rare that a whole family is like that. The muppets show is a great place to relax inside, available to many people with disabilities and inside so it's cool which is very needed too.
I also wanted to say thank you for making this video. Its important. It made me so sad to hear that want to get rid of this attraction. I listened to the Rainbow Connection 🌈 song after watching this video. Your so right about accessibility for all. My son has epilepsy and autism and struggled with many rides due to both. I will do my part to support them keeping this theater. Thank you again for making this and having such a big heart ♥️ Jim would thank you too!
I totally agree with you. I just hope you don’t upset the monster. And they ban you. Rock on !
Imagineering is not the same it use to be. I hope they can prove to us we are wrong.
Yeah, I don't like it either. But if things just stay the same forever, eventually they lose their taste. Why else do you think menus at restaurants change all the time? I know change is scary, but that doesn't mean it has to be bad. You're focusing on the negative too much
Disney affects everyone differently...
For me is affecting with Star Wars. I'm so upset with them..
They're going to take Jim Henson's last work and make a lot of people mad it's just not only you it's everybody else
Hey cris . Your right it’s a travesty that the muppets is going . Fond memories of that attraction.
Muppets is world wide for everyone…… makes no sense why !
Cris keep your calm tho , I don’t like seeing you upset . Your spirt and sensitivity is a quality and your better than the cooperation. Have a great holidays with TJ and see you in new year .🎅🥰
OMG. the Bee 😱, you were so brave, I love bumble bee's and I tolerate all the others but this would have pushed me. Also, I so love to see people fighting for what they are passionate about, so if there is a way a girl in Scotland can help, or any of us outside the US really, let us know. We can take a few seconds to sign things or whatever, if folk are planning a holiday there, they can let people know they want to get on that ride.
I’m like you too. I can’t ride a lot of rides too. I’m mad that Disney is doing what they’re doing. It’s all about money with them. Their merchandise is super expensive too. I wanted a mickeys not so scary Halloween party pin but it was too expensive to buy.
I’m a Star Wars fan, and I don’t want Launch Bay anymore lol
Im so bummed about Muppetvision. Is it cool to get rockin' Rollercoaster retheme? Yeah, sure. But Muppetvision is very important. Jim Henson's last production and his last time voicing and performing Kermit! Even with the new Muppet stuff you wont get Jim Henson as Kermit. Its sad what Disney has done since buying muppets. Heck they even removed Jim Henson's name from the sign at Muppetvision after they bought it! Idk this decision, which has me scratching my head. Makes no sense why they would put monsters inc there and not the studio courtyard. Anyways, long comment 😂
You are so right through out this video. Disney has become one big rip off money machine. It cost about $200 just to get in then you have to pay per ride off you want to ride. Dollywood is a better choice for the money.
Hi Cris! Saving Mr. Banks ... if you've seen the film, you'll get where I'm going with this without spoilers, lol. If Mr. Banks is running Disney itself, exactly HOW do you go about saving him from himself? Quite a dilemma there. Sadly, it might well be that we are approaching the "end times" for REAL inclusion, or, as you put it so well, "Welcome to Six Flags Disney". Hope I'm wrong, or just a worry wart, but it does seem like its all about the Benjamins with them these days. Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg are my "home parks". Busch Gardens holds a place in my heart, and I agree with the hype that it is the most beautiful park in America.( Don't we all feel that way about our home parks deep down)? Chin up, Cris, you've got this. ❤
I am mad with what Disney did to Star Wars! This past few months i was thinking on giving Disney a shot but i only see RUclipsrs talking about Disney creating sequels for Star Wars that we don't need! I hope that George Lucas get's Star Wars back! I am going to buy only a few lightsabers and helmets from the Disney Store and that's it... Hasbro, Lego, brands who make statues too, i know that disney is receiving money from them but this is not the brands fault and will not stop like or buy merch from George Lucas SW legacy content. Disney is going downhill like hbo is too... Just heard that Snape character is going to be played by a black person (no hate but this is not whats in the books)! This industrys are just messing with us...
Agree with you 💯💯💯, love ya'll ✌️
These imagineers aren't using their imagination
I agree with you on everything I hate roller coaster rides I can’t do fast rides cause I get motion sickness too I can only do kids rides that are slow I’m sad that Disney world is getting a cars land too cause they’re ain’t much to do in there and all their rides are way too fast for me my sister in law was bummed too about the muppets show too she voiced her feelings about it too which is why we aren’t going to Disney world for my nieces 10th birthday we decided that we are just gonna go back to Disneyland instead cause they are pretty much gonna be the same now idk if they are doing the monsters inc slow ride so kids can ride it but I completely understand and agree with you on everything it’s sad that Disney is doing that and I agree I wish it was more affordable to go for lower income families too like I feel the last time we went we as in me my mom and sister didn’t really get to enjoy it cause of the whole QR codes and timing just to make it to each ride it was really exhausting just waiting and i literally had a heat stroke in the park which was fun my mom thought she was gonna have to take me to the hospital but I pulled through ended up taking a cool shower the next day but still they should definitely make it more accessible to handicap people and people who have motion sickness issues now everyone likes to throw around like a rag doll it’s not fun at all
So now putting something on Disney Plus and taking his work and shoving it down the drain
I agrée. You are not crazy to want more relaxing, more accessible areas. And it feels good to go see some nostalgic things sometimes. I love ´make it Star Wars Disney, I dare you ´.😂
You are trying to apply logic to a company run by Scrooge McDuck where money is King and customer satisfaction is no longer a consideration. To squeeze the most money out of their customer with the least amount of effort
Corporate greed and capitalism strikes again
There’s so many special needs children and teens, so even the argument that it’s just for the kids is invalid because special needs kids need attractions too. I agree with you, it’s just not right or fair. Whole families go so there needs to be things for the whole family to enjoy together.
I love Disney but they been doing some crazy stuff. I miss the Eisner days.
Star wars, marvel, dr who and the muppets trashed
Morning Chris the girl and Tampa Jay it's Friday 3rd of December just watched your video 📹 I'm so sorry to hear that Disney won't be having the 3D muppet show or rides anymore I could tell just how upset you were the muppets are the biggest 💔 thing of all times ⏲️ please don't get yourself to upset and cry I know just how hard it is for you I really feel for you 💔 I do understand just how you feel l used to love watching the muppets on telly 📺 when my daughter was a little girl she always enjoy watching them too i agree with everything you said in your video 📹 love you both take care love from Michelle over here in Nottingham in England ♥️ ❤️ 😘 💖 💕 💙 😊😅😂
Disney...Hmmm...
first ❤
I’m disappointed that Disney is moving away from their immersive experience attractions. I know the parks were always meant to be ever changing but replacing these classics with nothing but screens and nausea inducing rides ain’t it.
I'm not a hard-core fan of Disney, so what I hear about them is typically from the non-fans, and tbh, their reputation is trash right now. Star Wars fans hate what they've done to the franchise, and other fans of franchises bought by Disney feel the same. As soon as Disney buys it, it will get destroyed isthe common view from what I've seen. But Disney keeps barreling on and they're losing money and fans. The complaints are always that Disney cares more about the politics than the story or the legacy.
I am a fan of Star Wars, its true we are done with Disney
Disney needs to promise that muppet vision would be relocated in some way.

So Sad 😞 I grew up with Disney and the Muppets when I lived in Florida. Jim Hanson needs his own theme park doesn’t have to be that big, but Jim Henson did so much including all his movies. Honestly, I’m more of a Jim Henson fan, not Disney guess there no need to ever go back 😞😞
Jim Henson was an amazing creator, he had such a huge impact on our culture. Would love to see him have his own theme park that would be amazing haha. Thank you for watching!
Totally agree with you. These days some so called decision makers don’t care about people and the big picture of the availability to those with issues who visit the parks and young, older families. How many rides have failed leaving riders stuck and hanging in mid air. Thats scary but they don’t care as long as the money keeps rolling in.
As you are walking thru some of this park, the thing that hit me was how the buildings there look more like an industrial park or strip mall...the outside of those buildings lack luster and appeal...its like they put a park interest in an old Kmart store.
That is really sad to tear all that down when theres empty space with no action to use instead. It doesn't make sense cuz Jim Hensons section is going strong. I wish you could send this video to Disney n have them change their mind.
I get it that you are angry with ( Disney). I totally agree with you on all the changes. But I would call his family as sell outs. If his family truly believed in his dreams they would still be hand's on!!!! It's all about money not the children anymore.
Save MuppetVision 3D
Barely!
Who's "we"?.. you're by yourself...
No she's not 😘
@RafaelaSantos-bz2tb who's she with?
I agree with you! Keep the 3-D Muppets!! I’m 62 now and can’t really ride the roller coaster anymore. I hope your message resonates with the powers that be. 👍
It’s such a love/hate relationship for me. We recently visited and hadn’t been to DL in a few years. Most of the changes sucked, but those few things they’ve kept the same (Tiki Room) brought back so many good memories. I’ll be back too, if only to see things they wisely left alone.
Agreed Steve!! Thank goodness we still have some things left…
Pretty much Disney is changing for the new generation so we might as well move on
I love jim Henson
I am a 60 year old woman and i use to watch the Muppets on Sesame street when i was growing up sad they are taking it away thanks for the video
My kids are a little older than you and Jay, about by 10 years. But they grew up on The Muppet Show. Even my eldest grandson, age 22, loves some of the Muppets!
Muppet 3D was the last thing that Jim Henson worked on before he passed. I heard that they are changing the Rockin Coaster to a
Muppet Mayhem Coaster !!!
As a former1980's WDW cast member ,I feel like a part of myself is dying since they are doing away with Tom Sawyers Island and the Riverboat and The Rivers of America. I enjoyed working there on Tom Sawyers Island and feel that part of my life will no longer exist now ,It makes me sad 😢.
It's really sad to see them replacing the Jim Henson Muppets Vision 3D with something else because I've been a fan of the Muppets for years and
nice to hear you relive memories of going there seeing the Muppets and
I hope everything works out take care and have a Merry Christmas Cris.
🎄💗👍🎄
I agree 100 percent Cris . I,m so disappointed that we are loosing muppets. I feel like I,m loosing a family member 😢. 😪
I love slow rides
Well said. This is the lowest that Disney has ever done. Changes can be great , but there's a right way to make changes and there's a wrong way to make changes. This is definitely the wrong way.
Bob and josh don't care. You said it yourself. They are pushing imagineering away.
There is no point in having a business and making money if you're not willing to make your fans happy. The customers should always be right.
Cris, is there an online Save Muppet Vision 3-D petition? I love this attraction so much, sad to see it go by the wayside 😢. Can you pin links to Disney execs etc social media where you can post about preserving this slice of history?
There is rumor that great Muppets in history might be getting taken out of magic Kingdom from what Josh said
They should tear down that Star wars hotel they would have plenty of land there in the back they could add a whole new one back there
Alot of people upset with D right now. Not even gonna say the name. Not even gonna. Yes bring some hapiness plz..... Much needed.
There are people that do not like coasters like disabled young children they should think about something else not rollercoasters all the time you hear of accidents about rollercoasters they are not thrill rides yes there are people who like them but too me and other people that do not like them think of something else and not rollercoasters all the time just my thoughts
If you love Disney you should go to Europa Park in Germany a lot of the Disney imagineers went there and their rides are so much better than Disney world
Good evening Cris!!
Hi Lee!!!
