The Muppets at Walt Disney World

The Muppets at Walt Disney World is a upcoming American film remake that will be directed by James Bobin and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is based on the 1990 TV special from The Magical World of Disney of the same name.

Summary
Kermit takes the gang for a family reunion at the Paradise Swamp in Orlando, Florida.

Plot
At the start of the film, Michael Eisner talks about this special while in the presence of Fozzie Bear and his mother Emily. In the film, the Muppets are visiting Kermit's family for their annual reunion where they meet up with Kermit's aunts and uncles consisting of Harry, Mary, Larry, Terri, Gary, Perry, and Lou. When the others learn that the swamp is right next to Walt Disney World, they sneak in, and are pursued by a security guard named Quentin Fitzwaller (played by Paul Giamatti).

The attractions and areas are featured in Walt Disney World including Big Thunder Mountain, the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, Star Tours, the Mad Tea Party, World Showcase, Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour, Spaceship Earth, The Great Movie Ride, Soarin' Over America, The Magic of Disney Animation, the Walt Disney World Pet Care Center, Rock n' Roller Coaster, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Expedition: Everest, Kilimanjaro Safaris, the Walt Disney World Monorail System and the utilidors. The film is notable for making the complete four parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom) seem like one connected area, despite the parks actually being apart from each other.

After the tour of Walt Disney World, the Muppets were having a friendly meeting at Mickey Mouse's office where the signature characters of Walt Disney and Jim Henson compare their companies' theme songs, "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "Rainbow Connection" (sung by Ariel Winter to cheer up Kermit) respectively and the ideals behind them.
