Muppet Vision 3D
Muppet Vision 3D is one of Dad's favorite attractions in all of Disney World. In fact I'm singing The Muppet Show song right now.
"It's time to play the music, It's time to light the lights ..."
Doesn't Dad sing good?
Muppet Vision 3D - The Muppet Show |

The Muppet Show was one of the top TV shows of the late 70's. It featured the loveable creatures created by Jim Henson. They are all here in this show. Here is the list of most of the characters in the show.

The Preshow
Before you enter the theater, you enter a big waiting area that is decorated with props from the old Muppet show. There is also a net full of Jello (in honor of one of Disney's first Mouseketeers). There are also several TV monitors that show a funny video with the rules of the show and reminders to pick up your 3D glasses.
As you enter the theater, you'll notice that it looks just like the one from the TV show. (If you're old enough, or lucky enough to have seen the TV show.)
The Attraction

You enter the theater, sit down, put on your 3D glasses and the band starts playing (a penguin band in the pit) and show begins. Gonzo and Kermit show up and Kermit gives you a tour of the Muppet Vision 3D labs. All of the Muppet characters are introduced and the fun begins. Fozzie is the first to spray things on you. The heckling begins from the old guys in the balcony and you start a tour of the new 3D process developed by the Muppet's.
Of course everything goes wrong. The machine spits out a 3D character named Waldo. The machine breaks and everything goes to pot. It's all great fun. As the show winds down a chase ensues through the audience. This can be a little scary to young ones, Sweetums who is a big hairy muppet (about 7 feet tall) runs through the audience with a cannon pointed at him which fires and mayhem ensues. The theater blows up. Kermit apologizes for technical difficulties and the show ends.
The Postshow
There is no postshow. You walk out into the bright sunshine.
The Video
Grab your 3D glasses to watch this video. Yes it gets a little out of focus once and a while but it's fun to watch.

Here are some interesting tidbits -
HistoryMuppet Vision 3D opened at Disney Hollywood Studios in May of 1991. It was a joint effort of the Jim Henson Productions and Walt Disney Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering. It was one of Mr. Henson's last projects before his untimely death. (Disney has since purchased Jim Henson Productions.)

The Muppet Movie
Thanksgiving 2011 brought the Muppet's back to big screen. The cast of Muppet Vision has been in the witness protection program for a while, at least that's the way it seems and now are coming back together for a big Muppet reunion. The usual Muppet mayhem ensues and every thing gets all Muppeted up. It looks like a cool movie. (Dad talks about the new Muppet movie.)
