TEN QUESTIONS: What was left out of the announcement of two new lands coming to DHS

[DizneyFreak2002]

Chris, where did you hear Muppets was leaving? Anyone I asked or talk to have said they have not heard of Muppets leaving... Not doubting you, just a bit curious... Personally, I wouldn't expect it to stay...

Mermaid is a goner though...

Glad to hear the drawing class may be coming back. But...do I have to draw Star Wars characters?

I never even got to draw Minnie!

That was in discussion with some friends who are working on the new Muppet show coming to TV. We were talking about the idea of re-imagining the Muppetvision attraction as a Muppet Show attraction to go with the new TV show. They thought that was a cool idea and that it would fit well but the decision had been made, mostly due to space issues, that eventually the Muppets would go. I think it'll be one of the last things, and it is possible they might re-do it in another section of the park, but because of wanting to keep all of Star Wars land connected it'll have to go. Now, that said, there are a couple of proposals on how to fit Star Wars Land in that would leave Muppets and Streets of America along, leaving those, and the LMA area, for future ideas and expansion and not using them now. So, it's possible Muppets stay or are re-imagined. Basically all of Echo Lake, Indy, Hollywood & Vine, Prime Time Cafe, the Frozen Theater, etc would go but the Streets of America area would be left. That, to me, seems like Muppets would feel really out of place butting up right next to this massive Star Wars themed area, but we'll just have to wait for the official announcement.

Glad to hear the drawing class may be coming back. But...do I have to draw Star Wars characters?

My understanding is that it will be characters from the Star Wars Rebels animated series.
