We’ve got Muppet-approved munchies about to rock and roll their way over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. With the opening of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets on May 26, there’s another spot that will be welcoming Muppets fans and foodies alike. FØØD by Swedish Chef will be serving up a tasty selection of bites and sips to get the vibes going for The Electric Mayhem.

Buckle up and get ready to ride because it’s almost snack and concert time!

Wocka Wocking Nachos

Our first stop brings us to the Wocka Wocking Nachos. This savory selection perfectly combines corn chips with queso blanco, and tomatoes with just the right amount of guacamole. It’s a great option to get taste buds rocking and rolling.

I think I can hear Swedish Chef saying “Børk! Børk! Børk!” from here about this one.

Churro Drumstick

Next up, we’re taking a walk on the sweet side with the Churro Drumstick. This bite features twisted churro tossed in mixed berry sugar and then topped with a raspberry sauce and assorted sprinkles.

And to top it all off, it’s served with a side of chocolate sauce. Yes, please!

Mayhem Soft-Serve Float

Another sweet sip that is a hit with The Electric Mayhem. The Mayhem Soft-serve Float. This sip features Frozen Fanta Blue Raspberry with vanilla soft-serve that’s topped with some pink cotton candy.

Now that’s a drink worth a guitar solo if you ask me.

Pink Le-moi-nade

For the lemonade lovers out there, this is the drink for you. The Pink Le-moi-nade combines Minute Maid Premium Lemonade with guava. For a little glitz and glam worth of Miss Piggy herself, there’s a sprinkle of pink shimmer mixed in.

This one is ready for its close-up.

Pond Water Limeade

It sure is easy being green when you’re the Pond Water Limeade. This concoction is inspired by Kermit the Frog himself. It deliciously brings together Minute Maid Premium Limeade, green apple, and fruit juice-filled pearls.

Additional Bites

In addition to these new delights coming to FØØD by Swedish Chef, there’s plenty of existing favorites to enjoy. These include:

• Mini Corn Dogs served with chips
• Chocolate Chip Cookies
• Assorted Chips
• Vanilla, Chocolate, or Swirl Waffle Cone
• Frozen Floats with Coca-Cola or Barq’s Root Beer
• Fountain Sodas
• Frozen Blue Raspberry (Also available with Bacardi Superior Rum or Tito’s Handmade Vodka)

With these tasty adventures, the possibilities are endless when guests visit Disney Parks!

_{(Note: All offerings are subject to change and availability.)}

Are you ready. To. ROCK?!

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets comes speeding into Disney’s Hollywood Studios in summer 2026, fueled by the tasty tunes of the Electric Mayhem and the high-speed hijinks of The Muppets. And even more exciting – today, we have electrifying new details to share about the colorful cast of characters guests meet while hanging around the recording studio.

The Electric Mayhem: One Night Only!

The Electric Mayhem are headlining their biggest Hollywood concert ever! Anyone who’s anyone is in attendance to witness Animal, Dr. Teeth, and the rest of this groove-tastic group rock the house down. There’s just one little problem: the band is nowhere to be found!

Across town at G-Force Records, guests are treated to a VIP tour of the legendary rock and roll recording studio. Things might look a little different around this Hollywood institution, as the label has recently come under new management – The Muppets! 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). Just wait until your guests see how they’ve made these hallowed halls their own, creating the perfect place to make sweet, sweet Muppet music together!

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 guests 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, guests will have plenty of groovy backgrounds to strike their best pose. 

Sharp-eyed guests will spot celebrity cameos woven throughout the experience, starting in the queue and continuing all the way through the merch shop. Guests could 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 guests’ VIP passes, they’ll be welcomed inside the recording studio, where – wouldn’t you know it – they’ll find The Electric Mayhem cranking out the familiar tunes of “Can You Picture That?” as they rehearse for their big concert.

Fans will be immersed in the story with the first-ever Audio-Animatronics figure of Scooter, brought to life using motion‑capture technology of Scooter the Muppet (yes, the actual adorable Muppet you see in the photo above). By recording and tracking Scooter’s performance, Walt Disney Imagineering was able to build and program a figure that looks, moves, and emotes exactly like Scooter should, right down to the small details.

Joined by the finest audio engineers (all penguins, of course), Scooter is doing his 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, guests will 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…

After rockin’ out, check out your concert-inspired versions of the attraction photo from Disney PhotoPass Service that puts you center stage with The Electric Mayhem!

Rock Out in Style

No encore is complete without the merch, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is turning the volume all the way up with a brand-new merchandise collection inspired by the attraction’s high-energy vibe.

The lineup, which can be found at Rock Around the Shop, features a mix of apparel, accessories, and souvenirs designed for fans who want to bring a little rock flair home. 

Turn Up the Flavors at FØØD by Swedish Chef

Just steps from the ride exit, FØØD by Swedish Chef is striking a whole new chord in the courtyard.

The fan-favorite spot is rolling out a refreshed look along with an updated menu featuring all-new snacks and drinks designed to keep the good vibes going long after the ride is over. For a full breakdown of everything available at FØØD by Swedish Chef, check out the official Foodie Guide.

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!  

This summer, Disney Cruise Line entertainment is bigger, bolder, and more magical than ever. New and refreshed entertainment experiences will debut across the fleet, giving guests more chances to sing, dance, and celebrate at sea. From Broadway‑style stage spectaculars and high‑energy deck parties to destination‑inspired moments, entertainment takes the spotlight all summer long.

Alaska Takes the Spotlight with a Full Day of Frozen Fun

With sweeping glaciers, towering mountains, and everchanging light, Alaska is cinematic by nature. This summer, Disney Cruise Line pairs that breathtaking backdrop with Frozen-inspired storytelling created especially for Alaska sailings aboard the Disney Wonder and Disney Magic.

Guests can experience For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration, a heartwarming, music-filled live show performed on the upper deck.

Guided by Royal Historians and joined by Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff, passengers are invited to sing along as the sisters’ journey from Disney’s Frozen unfolds.

Set against Alaska’s awe‑inspiring scenery, the celebration leans into the story and music fans love, blending playful moments with big, joyful sing‑along energy. With lyrics displayed on-screen, it becomes a feel‑good experience that encourages sailors to sing together and be part of the story.

For many families, it’s a fresh way to experience a fan‑favorite at sea, surrounded by one of the most stunning destinations in the world.

More Frozen Fun Throughout the Day

The Frozen Sing-Along Celebration anchors a full day of Frozen-themed experiences on select Alaska sailings, including:

• Anna’s Frozen Fun Hunt, a scavenger hunt-style activity designed for families to explore and play together.
• Oaken’s Maypole Swirl & Twirl, an atrium dance celebration filled with music and movement for all ages.
• A Frozen‑themed dining experience, where guests can enjoy traditional Nordic fare created just for the party — along with special dishes inspired by the hit movie — in a feast fit for a royal appetite.

Together, these moments weave Frozen fun throughout the day, on and off the stage, turning any Alaska sailing into a truly bucket-list experience.

Broadway Stars Series Takes the Stage on Alaska Sailings

If live theater is a passion, guests will want to catch the Broadway Stars Series on select Disney Cruise Line voyages, including some Disney Wonder and Disney Magic sailings.

Curated by the Godmother of the Disney Destiny, Susan Egan, and Adam J. Levy of 10th & Main Productions, the series brings Broadway and West End performers onboard to share live performances and behind-the-scenes stories from the world of theater, with talent varying by sailing.

Deck Parties that Bring the Energy

From sailaway celebrations to high-energy dance parties under open skies, the upper decks become the ultimate stage, where music, favorite characters, and shared moments bring the whole ship together from the start of the voyage.

Let’s Set Sail

New entertainment enhancements include the sail-away experience, with Let’s Set Sail continuing to roll out across the Disney Cruise Line fleet in 2026 as the signature sail away deck stage show.

Hosted by Captain Mickey Mouse and Captain Minnie Mouse, the lively celebration welcomes sailors aboard with groove-worthy music, favorite Disney characters, and a festive start that sets the tone for the journey ahead.

Mickey’s Color Spin Dance Party

This spring, Mickey’s Color Spin Dance Party expands to additional sailings, bringing its vibrant energy to more itineraries across the fleet. After launching on the Disney Wonder in March, the party debuts on the Disney Magic in May on select sailings.

Set against a spinning virtual color wheel, guests will dance along with Mickey Mouse and friends to upbeat twists on iconic Disney songs, with plenty of chances to jump in, move, and share the moment together.

A Fresh Pirate Adventure with Mickey and Minnie on Select Sailings

Later this year, select Disney Cruise Line sailings will debut Mickey & Minnie’s Pirates in the Caribbean, an updated pirate experience inspired by the adventurous spirit of the high seas.

Arriving this spring aboard the Disney Wonder and debuting on the Disney Magic following the Alaska season, the experience features lively music, interactive moments, and appearances by favorite Disney characters dressed in their pirate best.

Alongside the festivities, select pirate‑themed activities will continue to evolve by ship and sailing, including the newly updated Match Your Matey that welcomes friends and groups beyond couples for a playful twist to pirate nights at sea.

Start Planning the Next Adventure

From Frozen fun created just for Alaska sailings to Broadway‑style productions, high‑energy deck parties, and a new pirate adventure with Mickey and Minnie, Disney Cruise Line’s entertainment sets the stage for unforgettable moments at sea.

Whether Alaska is on the top of the bucket list or guests are dreaming of another destination, summer is the perfect time to set sail with entertainment designed to bring families together and celebrate every shared moment.

Level99 Brings Next-Level Play to Disney Springs

The highly anticipated Level99 is set to open its doors this summer at Disney Springs West Side.

I like to think of this new offering as a sprawling playground for adults and teens, ready for those who will take on 60+ life‑sized mini‑games and real-world challenges. Level99 tests both body and mind as guests dodge axes, crack mind‑bending puzzles, and outsmart cleverly designed challenges — all wrapped inside an environment filled with bold art installations.

Introducing Six Ravens: A New Savory Story at Disney Springs

Also new at Disney Springs at The Landing this summer, a little raven shared some exciting details about new flavors to feast on. Gideon’s Bakehouse, the fan‑favorite local bakery at Disney Springs, is introducing a new concept: Six Ravens.

Specializing in grab-and-go hand pies, their signature creation, known as Coffyns, is a house‑made yeast‑roll stuffed with savory fillings that draw inspiration from Medieval European pastry cases. The original “coffyns” were designed to preserve hearty meals for long pilgrimages, and at Disney Springs, they’ll be the perfect on-the-go offering.

Pair the Coffyns with smashed potatoes and dips like sweet heat and homemade honey mustard. Six Ravens will also have local beers crafted in partnership with Orlando favorites like Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig.

On select nights this summer at Disney Springs, the AdventHealth Waterside Stage will come alive with high‑energy dance parties celebrating the newest original movies coming to Disney+.

We’re jamming all night to hits from Descendants: Wicked Wonderland and Camp Rock 3. It’s the perfect way for families looking to add a little extra magic to their evening during Cool KIDS’ SUMMER.

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

As of today, the iconic Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has reopened with new magic. Here’s what guests can expect the next time they 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.

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.

Guests will notice that the rumblin’, rollin’ fun of Big Thunder Mountain is in tip-top shape following a mountain-top to cavern-deep refurbishment, which kept this 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 has 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.

We hope that guests let out the biggest “yeee-HAW!” when they make their return to the rails!
