Muppet Whatnot coming to Disney Parks?

[LuccaDrake]

Interesting story about the FAO Schwarz - Muppet Whatnot store coming to the parks below. As a fan of the Muppets I REALLY hope this is true.

Tales from the Laughing Place Magazine has been exclusively told that Season 4 of The Muppet Show will be released on DVD in 2010. In addition the interactive retail experience where guests can build their own Muppet Whatnot puppet will be coming to both the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World in the near future. The FAO Schwarz location on Fifth Avenue in New York City and the FAO.com will continue to allow guests to design their own Whatnot but Disney will be bring two additional workshops to the US parks soon. It is likely that the Workshop will be at Disney's California Adventure Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Ooooooooooo, Great idea! That would be very cool! I've been thinking about making myself a Whatnot on FAO Schwartz's site for awhile now, it'd be awesome if there was a shop to make one at DHS.

I've been wanting to make one online as well, but I may have waited too long. For the past 2-3 months FAO has not been taking new orders (at least online) for the Muppets . I called about a month ago and was told they are behind on orders received during the Christmas season but they do plan on opening back up online eventually. Not sure what the status is at their NYC retail store.

I'm always hoping for more Muppets!!!

BUT here is something I found at the One of a Kind Craft Show in Toronto while I was pregnant with DD...we call him Nosey.

She gave him up, so he's back with me
