Hello and welcome to episode 130 of the Diz Unplug connecting with Walt Podcast.

I am your host and dis historian, Michael Bowling, and I am joined by my co-host, producer, and good friend Craig Williams. Craig, how are you today? I'm good. How are

you, Michael? Oh, I'm doing well. Thank you. You must be excited that you're seeing the return of two of your

favorite characters, Sam the Eagle at the Regal Eagle in the American Pavilion at Epcot, and Jar Jar Binks on Disney Plus.

I'm very excited about Sam Eagle at Regal Eagle.

And I, you know, as many ways as we can throw the Muppets in everywhere, you know, I am always going to be okay with that.

I hope this is the start of the next Muppet revolution that happens in Walt Disney World.

However, as someone else pointed out on Twitter way back when that first kind of came out and stuff,

and I thought was hilarious and completely true, it's why do Muppet characters just get relegated to restaurants?

And that's it.

Seems a little bit offensive to them.

They deserve a little bit more.

Well, it's like they don't know what to do with them.

I mean, Disney will never figure this out.

Hopefully, they'll let the next show on Disney

Plus. They'll figure it out. And it's not even difficult. It's do anything with them. Just don't

not use them. So I'm okay with the restaurant. But it's, yeah, it's going to be cute. And the fact that

there's merch coming with it, too, like, it can't get much better than that.

Yeah, I'm not thrilled, but I just feel it ruins the theming.
