I saw a thread about muppets filming this week at DLR. It is true. We saw them flying on Dumbo yesterday morning (along with hints of the muppeteers crammed into the footwells of the ride).

Later in the morning, while my 3 yo and I rode the DLRR with a tender ride and spoke with the engineer and fireman, the rest of our party saw them on mainstreet. It looks to be the muppet show characters.

On Dumbo, we saw two penguins, two chickens, Gonzo and his girl (another chicken), and that arrogant blue Eagle (can't remember his name). Please, tell me they are going to bring back the muppet show. Hilarity from my youth.

Four more days and my feet are already ground down to nubs. Yay.

Sam Eagle is his name.

From what I've heard, they're filming commercials for DLR.
 
I can't wait to see the new commercials! I love the muppets! My kids are the same way- last visit we went to Muppets 3-D twice in one day.
As much as I would love to see it, I doubt they would bring back the Muppet Show, I remember they did a few episodes a few years back, and it didn't go well.
 

Wow! Wish I could've been there to see the muppets.

I hope they make a commercial w/Pepe! I love that king prawn.:cutie:
 
If anyone out there managed to get some pics I would love to see them! :thumbsup2 (oh yeah - and I'm the others on the DIS would appreciate it too! :rotfl:)
 
Here are a few, taken during the Main Street taping:

The Animal Muppeteer had seen an Animal t-shirt on one of us.

That's Pepe "lying down" just behind the driver. Sweetums on the far side of the driver.
 
I am having an "OMG!" moment right now! I wish that I could have been there to see that, I love love love the Muppets! We just got back from the "Jim Hensons Fantastic World" showcase up in Seattle at the Sci Fi Museum and I must have stayed in that little area for over an hour.... Ahh, love the Muppets! Kermie is my main man! Er, Frog!:goodvibes
 
Cannot wait to hear more about the Muppets being used in the next promotion and if we will see more of them in the parks! Love the photos. Thanks so much for posting them.
 
Wow! You are SO lucky to have gotten those photos! That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!
 
jlmarr, thanks for sharing your photos! It looks like it was fun!

Leshaface, Muppets from Space is my fave Muppet movie;)
 
Thanks for those awesome pics! I am excited that Disney is utilizing the Muppets more! They are the best! :cool1:
