Muppet Event in Orlando, Florida

[anakin]

I dont know from miles but I do know its not that far.. 20 minute drive I would think.. or there abouts. The friends I went with live just past the Universal Studios exit and the History center was only a 15 min. drive from there place and Disney is several exits back the other way so its all right around there. Have fun and a safe trip!

I have a question. How far is the Walt Disney World parks from the Orange County History Center?

Me and the family are going to Florida for a week for vacation on April 6th.

It was about a 25 minute drive for my family from the main entrance to the Downtown Disney area. Not a bad drive at ALL and well worth the time and cost... WELL worth it. It's an amazing, amazing exhibit that all Muppet fans should have the chance to see.

Wow, very nice. Muppetnewsflash and MuppetCentral need to have that linked on the front page. It was very nice of the center to have a guided tour of the exhibit filmed and put for free on youtube. Also wonderful to have Heather and Jane on it.

Um John Kennady does not do Fozzie. Eric Jackboson does, as well as all of Franks Muppet Show Muppets.

I actually just noticed that and corrected it before your post. I was copy/pasting from the Orlando Sentinel when I originally wrote that article. So it's their goof, but my fault for not double-checking.

But I do appreciate your clarifying that.

I'm pretty sure John puppeteered Fozzie and Frank looped the voice in MFS... don't quote me on that though.

So did anybody out there get to see Steve Whimire at the event today?

If so, Tell us all about it.
