In this fiery episode of Drafting The Magic, Erik and Christian dive into the chaos and controversy of bringing the Muppets BACK to the Disneyland Resort! It’s been over a decade since Muppet*Vision 3D was unceremoniously removed from Disney California Adventure in November 2014, leaving fans wondering if Kermit and the gang would ever return to the West Coast.

With last week’s shocking announcement that the Muppets are taking over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios—while also losing their iconic Muppet*Vision 3D in Florida—it’s clear that Muppet fans are in for a rollercoaster of emotions (literally). So, we’re asking the big question:

What if the Muppets returned to Disneyland? 🎭

In this episode:
🔥 Erik and Christian pitch their boldest and most creative ideas for Muppet-themed attractions at Disneyland Resort.
🔥 The draft gets heated as they debate nostalgia, innovation, and just the right amount of chaos.
🔥 Guest Judge Kristie Caron (@disney_kristie) from Canada 🇨🇦 steps in to crown the best idea and decide who truly understands the magic of the Muppets!

This episode is packed with wild ideas, controversial opinions, and plenty of Muppet mayhem. Whether you’re a die-hard Muppet fan, a Disneyland traditionalist, or just love a good debate, this is the episode for you!
