The Electric Mayhem Arrives at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets

John Yaglenski — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 13:42:22 +0000

Crank the volume and warm up those air guitars because Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is officially ready to take center stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Starting May 26, the legendary ride roars back to life with a rock-charged remix that drops guests straight into the middle of The Electric Mayhem’s biggest night yet. With high-speed thrills, a pulse pounding soundtrack, and a VIP list like no other, this reimagined attraction hits all the right notes.

Just Announced!

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets opens May 26
Set list revealed with five tracks from The Electric Mayhem and some of their friends

The Electric Mayhem: One Night Only!

The Electric Mayhem is headlining the most buzzworthy concert Hollywood has ever seen. Dr. Teeth, Animal, Floyd, Janice, Zoot, and Lips are ready to rock the house – and everyone who’s anyone will be there.

There’s just one little problem – the band is nowhere to be found!

Your VIP tour kicks off inside G-Force Records—an iconic rock-and-roll recording studio where the magic (and mayhem) is just getting started.

A Courtyard of Mayhem

Out in the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster courtyard, the attraction’s iconic guitar marquee will be making a bold new statement.

The Electric Mayhem has put their own spin on that ruby-red guitar, featuring a vibrant, psychedelic design inspired by the classic Muppet car paint job. The piano motif at the base will feature a golden key as a nod to a certain far-out band leader.

Star-Studded Halls of Rock

G-Force Records is opening its legendary doors, giving you a peek at where the melodic magic takes place. Things might look a little different around this Hollywood institution, as the label has recently come under new management!

We’re happy to say that our colorful crew has landed some new digs… with just a little help from Scooter’s uncle, real estate tycoon and owner of the Muppet Theatre, J.P. Grosse (he really puts the G in G-Force).

With posters in every corner highlighting the iconic band’s larger-than-life career, you’ll have plenty of groovy backgrounds to strike your best pose.

And while you’re taking it all in, keep your eyes open. Sharp-eyed guests will spot celebrity cameos woven throughout the experience, starting in the queue and continuing all the way through the merch shop. You might get to spot:

Awkwafina
Danny Trejo
Darren Criss
John Stamos
Neil Patrick Harris
Travis Barker
Yvette Nicole Brown
Wayne Brady
“Weird Al” Yankovic

Welcome to G-Force Records

With your VIP passes, you’ll be welcomed inside the recording studio, where – wouldn’t you know it – you’ll find The Electric Mayhem cranking out the familiar tunes of Can You Picture That? as they rehearse for their big concert. You’ll be immersed in the story with the first-ever Audio-Animatronics figure of Scooter, who’s joined by the finest audio engineers (all penguins, of course). They’re doing their best to convince The Electric Mayhem to stop jamming and get to their increasingly restless fans, but will it be enough to get the band across town and on stage in time?

Thanks to the newest technological advancements from Muppets Labs, we’ll board a super-powered vehicle in the alleyway just behind Studio C known as the Lengthy Immediate Motion Object (L.I.M.O.)!

Cue the Music: The Set List Is Locked

What’s a rock show without a killer set list? For Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, the music takes center stage. The Electric Mayhem teamed up with some of rock’s biggest names to deliver a lineup of tracks designed to crank the adrenaline from the loading zone to the final brake run.

Here’s what’s on the set list:

Song 2 – The Electric Mayhem
Born To Be Wild – The Electric Mayhem ft. Camilla the Chicken
Love Rollercoaster – The Electric Mayhem ft. Jennifer Hudson & Questlove
Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop) – The Electric Mayhem ft. Def Leppard
Walking on Sunshine – The Electric Mayhem ft. Kelly Clarkson

Each song brings its own energy, tempo, and attitude, creating a concert style experience where the soundtrack doesn’t just play – it goes from zero to sixty in three… two… one! And like any great show, the fun doesn’t stop with the final note. We heard the band’s been working on some bonus tracks…

With the opening date officially set for May 26, the band is warming up and the L.I.M.O. engines are revving. So grab your shades. Prepare those vocal cords. This concert is about to go from rehearsal to headline act.

And this is just the beginning – stay tuned for even more surprises still to come, including previews for cast members, eligible Disney Vacation Club Members and Annual Passholders!

New Magic Coming to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

John Yaglenski — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 16:24:46 +0000

Howdy, pardners… you folks oughta keep all hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the train, ‘cause this here’s the wildest ride in the wilderness!

On May 3, 2026, the iconic Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will reopen with new magic. Here’s what you can expect the next time you take to the tracks in search of adventure.

There’s Gold in That There Mountain

The story of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad dates back to Olden Times, or rather, Golden Times, during the early days of America’s first major gold rush. When Barnabas T. Bullion struck gold in the Big Thunder region, he saw a future full of riches and hustled to start the Big Thunder Mountain Company.

However, them shiny dreams rarely come without a cost, and Bullion quickly found himself in a battle with the forces of nature and in a whole heap of trouble. One day, strange and unexplainable things started happening. Machines failed. Cave-ins shut mines down.

No matter how deep the miners dug into the heart of the mountain, the forces of Big Thunder fought back. And when the attraction reopens next year, the unsuspectin’ passengers who board the runaway trains will learn just how wild the wilderness can get.

Shine and Polish on a Magic Kingdom Classic

The mountain attractions at Disney Parks around the globe are iconic for a reason – they are beloved by fans old and new for the stories they tell, the thrills they give, and the memories they make.

The rumblin’, rollin’ fun of Big Thunder Mountain here at Disney World recently completed a mountain-top to cavern-deep refurbishment meant to keep the classic attraction in tip-top shape, ready to delight guests who want to ride the rails for years to come.

Wildest Ride in the Wilderness

A key part of the refurbishment was installing a new track and refreshed passenger trains. These updates were carefully planned to preserve the attraction’s classic storytelling and trademark hootin’ an’ hollerin’ energy, while adding new life, movement, and detail to the experience guests know so well.

With all the improvements made to the attraction, along with a comprehensive review from our safety teams, Big Thunder Mountain will reopen with a lowered height requirement of 38”. Climb aboard, lil prospectors!

New Magic Thunderin’ In

In addition to the action and adventure we know and love, Big Thunder Mountain will reopen with new magic for fans to discover.

One such moment comes when the trains rattle their way underground to spectacular natural caverns full of phosphorescent pools, shimmering and illuminating iridescent stalagmites (the ones on the floor) and stalactites (the ones on the ceiling).

The Rainbow Caverns certainly are beautiful… but they ain’t as friendly as they first appear. In fact, that menacing rumble from deep within the mountain may be a sign that we ain’t welcome.

There’s more new magic for guests to discover once Big Thunder Mountain Railroad returns on May 3, 2026!

Favorites of Festivals Past at EPCOT Festival of the Holidays 2025

John Yaglenski — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 21:10:29 +0000

The festive season is in full swing, so you’ll likely find our Disney Parks Blog team stationed in front of the Favorites of Festivals Past Holiday Kitchen at EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays presented by AdventHealth.

This has become one of our favorite stops, featuring popular dishes — like Reuben Croquettes, Brown Sugar and Mustard-glazed Ham Sliders, and a Panettone Holiday Trifle — inspired from previous EPCOT festivals.

And this year, we were given the opportunity to try the beloved dishes and beverages, so I teamed up with Nicole from Disney Eats to sample the menu.

I hope you ate before reading this story, because these descriptions are making me hungry as I’m writing it down. Here’s what you need to know on this foodie stop.

Where to Find Favorites of Festivals Past (and What’s Nearby)

Make your way to CommuniCore Hall to find Favorites of Festivals Past right at the heart of World Celebration. This holiday kitchen will be open for the rest of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, until December 30, 2025.

While you’re grabbing a bite, sit near the CommuniCore Plaza Stage to hear JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season. There will likely be a few hits you recognize since the ensemble is performing Gospel, Rhythm, and Blues tunes that celebrate the spirit of Christmas and Kwanzaa.

You can also travel inside the hall to meet Santa Claus or grab one of the delicious cookies that’s available this year as part of the Holiday Cookie Stroll.

Reuben Croquettes

If you take away one thing from this blog, I hope it’s this — the Reuben Croquettes are delightful and are now my go-to festival item. These five croquettes are filled with pastrami, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese and come with Thousand Island dipping sauce on the side.

It’s a ton of flavor in a small bite. Plus, if you’re with a group, this delicious dish can easily be divided among the team.

Brown Sugar and Mustard-glazed Ham Sliders

Are you looking for a heartier option that has a little sweetness? Then, you’ll want to check out the fan-favorite slider. Packed with flavor, Nicole and I both enjoyed the depth that the cranberry and apple coleslaw added to each bite. Nestled in between a Hawaiian roll, the vibrant flavors added a punch to the holiday classic.

Panettone Holiday Trifle

Every dish from this marketplace included an ample serving, and this trifle is no exception. Perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth, the Panettone Holiday Trifle is topped with an eggnog custard and includes a cranberry-cherry compote and sugared almonds. Grab your spoon and make sure you get every ingredient from this layered dessert.

My favorite part was the burst of flavor from the tart cranberry-cherry compote, which was complemented by the creamy custard. There is no better way to enjoy the day than with a festive treat, and this trifle is perfect for the whole family to share.

Festival of the Holidays Beverage Favorites

The seasonal beers and wines at Favorites of Festivals Past have some of your favorites inspired by previous Holiday Kitchens all around EPCOT. Availability is subject to change.

At time of publication, we spotted these brews:

Keel Farms Pecan Pie Hard Cider
Southern Tier Brewing Co. Tiramisu Imperial Stout
Cigar City Brewing Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Brown Ale
Beverage Flight also available

Available wines include:

Martin Ray Chardonnay
Katherine Goldschmidt Cabernet Sauvignon

What’s Next?

This Holiday Kitchen will be returning to every festival, and we can’t wait to see what the culinary team has in store for Opening Bites, coming to EPCOT International Festival of the Arts this January.

So, when you make your way over to EPCOT, be sure to save some room for these delicious offerings and check out the entertainment and merchandise nearby in CommuniCore Hall and Plaza.

For more information on this year’s fest, including the full list of all the Holiday Kitchen menus, see our 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays Foodie Guide.

Scar Bucket and Ed Hyena Sipper Roar into Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park

John Yaglenski — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 22:12:17 +0000

Whether you’re grabbing a cold beverage or some fresh popcorn, these novelties are sure to be the mane event for collectors, The Lion King lovers, and Disney Eats fans alike!

Scar Bucket

The Scar Bucket showcases Scar’s signature sinister stare, complete with light-up eyes to make his appearance even more striking.

This roar-worthy item comes with an adjustable strap and includes popcorn at the time of purchase, making it the ideal snack time sidekick for your park day.

The Scar Bucket will be sold at the following locations:
