Get a sneak peek at this year's EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival 2025 Muppet Labs Collection!


Muppet Labs will once again have a presence at this year's EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival and while we don't know if another photo up will constructed, or what type of gastronomy they have planned, we now have our first look at the exclusive Muppet Labs merch. 


This year guests will be able to find a Muppet Labs shirt with Bunsen and Beaker inside lab equipment like bunsen burners and beakers. 


There's also a tumbler with Bunsen and Beaker peaking out around a large beaker shaped like EPCOT's iconic Spaceship Earth.

NEW Merchandise added for General Mills X Henson's Monster Cereals!

The next wave of merchandise for General Mills X The Jim Henson Company's Monster Cereals is now available.


This wave includes T-Shirts, mugs, sweatshirts, magnets, and more featuring all three of the Henson Creature Shop version of the classic cereal mascots together. 

Hidden Merch Revealed in "Rock N' Roller Coaster" Concept Art?

Last week concept art was released for the retheming of Rock N' Rollercoaster Starring The Muppets, but were there also hidden easter eggs of the merch we can expect when the ride opens?

Above is the artists rendering of the Muppet takeover. The giant red guitar has a psychedelic paint job reminiscent of The Electric Mayhem's bus, but look closely at the guests taking in all it's splendor...


There's this guy wearing sleeveless a jean jacket that has a "The Muppets Electric Mayhem" logo on the back, similar to the one used for The Muppets Mayhem

The Muppets Mayhem Logo


This woman is wearing a jacket with a wide open mouth, similar to the Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem Mouth logo. 
Mouth logo used on Outside Lands poster


There's also this person wearing a biker style studded vest with wings that could also easily have a Electric Mayhem logo on it. 


The que concept art also has a potentially hidden merchandise reveal as well. 



This girl recording the preshow on her phone is wearing a shirt with the "The Muppets Electric Mayhem" logo on the back, again similar to the one used for The Muppets Mayhem.

Are these the type of items we can expect when Rock N' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets opens next year? Sure.

Are these the exact items? Only time will tell, but it's exciting to see Disney actively thinking about more then just the look of the ride, but what Muppet fans will be wearing while experiencing the attraction as well. 

Below is the official description of the new ride. 

Transformation in the Courtyard

The makeover of the roller coaster begins in the Courtyard of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. The legendary Muppet magnate and owner of the Muppet Theatre, J.P. Grosse, has purchased G-Force Records and hired his reliable nephew Scooter to run the operation and completely redesign the Courtyard. A new psychedelic wrap gives the iconic red guitar landmark a groovy twist, inspired by a classic Muppet car paint job. The piano motif at the base of the guitar will feature a golden key as a homage to the golden tooth of a certain far-out bandleader.

Experience in the Queue

Once in the queue, VIP guests will discover the Muppets band Electric Mayhem recording new tracks in the studio. In the control room, a team of penguin sound engineers works hard, while band manager Scooter tries to convince the musicians to wrap up and head to their increasingly restless fans.

Adrenaline-Pumping Ride Through Hollywood

With help from Muppet Labs and a very fast limousine, guests will embark on a curvy, twisting, and scream-filled road trip through Hollywood to make it to the concert on time. The iconic scenery and landmarks of Tinseltown will get a Muppet twist, while a soundtrack of iconic rock hits, performed by Electric Mayhem, pumps up the adrenaline.

In case you missed it, below are The Muppets announcing the attraction. 


Rock N' Rollercoaster Starring The Muppets opens at Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2026.
