6. Cast signage
Every part of Walt Disney World has Cast only doors that guests can’t enter. Don’t worry, most of them don’t lead to anything more exciting than a stock room or break room. What’s more interesting is the signage featured on these doors. While some are drab and to the point, others really get into the theming of the area. The signs in Muppet Courtyard are obviously the latter. All the Cast Member doors are marked by Pork Security for Muppet Labs Personnel Only.
7. Unusual eyes
The obvious Muppet characters aren’t the only things that take on a life of their own in Muppet Courtyard. This lamp has an interesting feature on top. It’s sprouted its very own eyes, and it looks a bit suspicious. Two more sets of eyes are hidden in the scrollwork above the Miss Piggy clock.
8. The untidy paint job
Muppet Courtyard appears to be getting a new paint job, but as you might expect, the professionals doing the job aren’t too professional at all. The new yellow paint has been used on the old walls to make notes like “Gone to Lunch” and “Wet Paint.” In several places you’ll see splatters and spills that add just the right feel of whimsy and chaos to a space overrun with Muppets.
9. The Electric Mayhem
If you’re a real fan of the Muppet Show, you’ll instantly recognize the Electric Mayhem house band. You can find them all mid-performance on a shelf in the Muppet gift shop.
10. The dressing rooms
Looking upward is a great way to spot details that often go unnoticed around the theme parks. The second level of the Muppet gift shop features a hallway of dressing rooms that look identical to the ones used on the original Muppet Show set from the 70s. Haphazard clotheslines are strung across the corner and you’ll see several Muppet-size outfits hanging from them, including a pair of shorts that look suspiciously like something worn by a well-known mouse.
Muppet Courtyard is a wild and silly spot that adults and children alike can get a chuckle out of. Cast your eyes upward to take it all in and you’re sure to spot at least a few features that tickle you.
