Doctor Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker are back with the Muppet Mobile Lab at Epcot.

The Walt Disney Imagineering Living Character is now making occasional appearances in Future World, near to the Tip Board area behind Spaceship Earth.

Check out this brief video of one of their appearances earlier today. We'll have more later, so check back.

FWIW, we were at Epcot in September of last year about mid-day one day and happened to run across it. Food and Wine was going on at the time, but otherwise it was an ordinary day with nothing unusual happening. We never saw a schedule for it or anything like that, though. We just happened to run across it as it was happening.

I don't think there's a posted schedule, and many castmembers seem unaware of a schedule when asked, but they do try and find out for you. It's kind of weird how it's handled. Unless the guide changed to include it but judging by the questions in here I don't think they have. I think it has a schedule, just not made public. Anyway, I do think it runs regularly and has been, I think it's just one of those things not talked about much but it's not advertised so we kind of forget about it. No one's come on here to say it's been dumped so I assume it's still a regular offering. I don't think it's every day though (or wasn't last year when I had asked), so I'd ask.

I spotted Muppet Mobile Labs last year at Flower and Graden but assumed it ran all the time. Is this not the case?

The show could have had other content with the Muppets performing out the windows somewhere by the theater. Just as the famous parrot by PotC.

But the show in Liberty Square is about American history and the mobile lab is kind of about science. What does DHS have to do with either of those? The liberty square show, in particular, has no place in DHS.

I’d love to see a Muppets dark ride.

Kman101Mar 02, 2018

I agree with that sentiment. But I also like their usage in those places. But I can agree with wanting a more compelling and complete experience. It's too bad we'll never get the dark ride we should have had.

IMHO, Mobile Labs and the show in Liberty Square could be better utilized in fleshing out their Studio presence, making it a more compelling and complete experience.

I know there's a wink there, but personally I think the Mobile Lab fits quite well into Epcot. I also think a retooled MuppetVision would fit quite well (*ducks and hides*)

We fly down Sunday, I'm hoping to see this!

And why is it not in DHS??? ;)

The video I saw was posted around 2:45 yesterday. I believe it was a live feed.

What time is the Muppet Mobile Lab? I usually go to Epcot later in the day and never see it but next week I'm staying on property. Thanks

Glad to hear it's continuing to be used!
