Looks like the same decor that they have used for the last several years.

Has there been any word on the prices for the menu items? Or am I just overlooking it?

Yes. Some of the booths have posted their signs at the booths (but not all). Those signs have prices

Craig mentioned on the DIS Unplugged show yesterday that there is a media preview event either this afternoon or this evening (Wed). I'm hoping some people might push some content out tonight in an effort to be first. I'm anxious for reviews too!!

Still disappointed the mobile lab won't be making an appearance but the decor looks cute. And hopefully they can redeem themselves with some cute Muppets festival merch!

For those with food allergies and dietary restrictions, GlutenFreeDisneyWorld on instagram is reporting that while the allergy info is apparently not on the signs at the booths, it IS in the official app (and will also be in the paper passports). The info in the app is pretty detailed ... search for the festival, then click "view allergy friendly menus" and then "view menu" again and lists the items by booth and what's safe for the top 8 most common allergies. It sounds like this is a new feature this year.

WDW Radio has posted a video from the media preview. Hopefully more to come from other creators soon. Spoiler warning: this video does show some of the Muppet video that plays in the Brew-Wing lab.

Soooo getting a hamburger coaster set! It's so stinking cute and I love it!

I am so excited... and I am not even going this year! Going next year so like to follow along for basic information and to figure out my budget.

I was already seeing form TikToks from the preview yesterday on my feed. Super excited for my favorite YouTubers to get out there and try things.

Prize for the Remy scavenger hunt ($9.99) are little insulated lunch bags -- big enough for a sandwich and a drink. Four themes - Ratatouille, Chef Mickey, Encanto, Figment.

Also the coasters are $24.99 and adorable.
