Disney Parks sent cast members an invite for a "Filming Event – Archiving MuppetVision 3D!" that will take place in the next few weeks.

As Disney prepares to close MuppetVision 3D, signs suggest that the company is taking steps to preserve the experience — at least behind the scenes.
Sources indicate that Disney recently conducted a filming session of the attraction, though the company has not officially confirmed the purpose or future use of the footage. However, the project’s working title strongly hints that the filming is intended for archival preservation.
This effort aligns with an earlier statement from Disney in which the company said it is “having creative conversations and exploring ways to preserve the film and other parts of the experience for fans to enjoy in the future.”
What remains unclear is whether the recorded version of MuppetVision 3D will ever be released to the public. The company has not announced any plans for a future screening, release, or digital availability, leaving fans to speculate whether this is purely an internal initiative or a prelude to something more.
The filming appears to be part of a broader documentation effort as Disney readies the attraction for its final performance on June 7, 2025. Located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort, MuppetVision 3D has been a staple of the park since its debut in 1991. It was one of the last projects personally overseen by Jim Henson before his passing, making it a sentimental favorite for many Disney and Muppet fans alike.
As the countdown to the final curtain continues, many are hoping that Disney will eventually make the preserved version available — either as part of a future digital offering, special event, or museum exhibit celebrating the legacy of the Muppets.
Until then, the future of MuppetVision 3D remains uncertain — but its legacy appears to be in safe hands.
