More VHS tapes of stuff I recorded off TV back in the 90s and wanted to share some of the footage I came across. Featured here is a recording of "The Muppets at Disney World" aired as part of a Disney Channel Magical Winter Weekend Preview in 1990. Back when The Disney Channel was a premium cable channel that you had to pay to have (like the early days of MTV) so it was always fun when they would have free preview weekends occasionally highlighting various movies, cartoons, and specials. This particular Muppets special is a personal favorite, as I always wanted to visit Walt Disney World! I've gone to Disneyland several times since childhood, but never made it to the Magic Kingdom in Florida. Maybe someday I'll be able to travel there for a magical Disney weekend! Please enjoy this forgotten Muppets gem featuring a young Raven-Symoné and the hysterical antics of Charles Grodin and the whole Muppets gang! [tracklisting] 00:00 - Disney Cha …...more

The special aired on NBC as part of The Magical World of Disney on May 6, 1990, and turned out to be the last Muppets special that Henson would work on (he would die ten days following its airing, on May 16). In this television special, the Muppets are visiting Kermit's family for their annual reunion where they meet up with Kermit's aunts and uncles. When the others learn that the swamp is right next to Walt Disney World, they sneak in, and are pursued by a security guard named Quentin Fitzwaller (played by Charles Grodin). Attractions and areas featured include Big Thunder Mountain, the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, Star Tours, the Mad Tea Party, World Showcase, and the Walt Disney World Monorail System. The special depicts the three parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Disney-MGM Studios) as one connected area, despite the parks actually being apart from each other. The story ends with the Muppets having a friendly meeting at Mickey Mouse's office where Mickey and Kermit compare their company's theme songs, "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "The Rainbow Connection" and the ideals behind them and join in a new song together as one big family. After that, the Muppets return to the swamp, but soon realize that Miss Piggy is missing and must be stuck back in front of The Great Movie Ride with her feet in the cement. They return to Walt Disney World for her afterwards to free her. While stuck in the cement, Miss Piggy shouts for help as the credits roll. Cast:
  • Charles Grodin as Quentin Fitzwaller
  • Raven-Symoné as Little Girl
  • Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse
  • Frank Oz as Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal
  • Jim Henson as Kermit the Frog, Rowlf the Dog, Dr. Teeth, Link Hogthrob, the Swedish Chef, Waldorf
Side Notes: During the song "Rockin' All Around the World" (in melody of Status Quo's "Rockin' All Over the World"), the Muppets inspire some of the Audio-Animatronic dolls from the "It's a Small World" attraction to appear and sing along. Costumed characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Brer Bear from "Song of the South", Bongo and Lulubelle from "Fun and Fancy Free", and the Country Bear Jamboree also join in on the fun. ____________________________________________________________________ Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel "mike kling"    / @mikekling      / @mikekling
