Mickey Shorts Theater to Close Ahead of Kermit Passholder Magnet Pickup

The theater will be repurposed as the pickup hub for a limited Passholder-only Kermit magnet, PhotoPass Magic Shot, Key Lime milkshake tied to the Muppets’ new placement at Hollywood Studios.

Overview

  • Walt Disney World confirmed a Passholder-only Kermit the Frog promotion running August 11 through September 24, 2026 that includes a collectible magnet, a PhotoPass Magic Shot and a Key Lime Kermit milkshake.
  • Disney will close the Mickey Shorts Theater starting August 9 to prepare the venue to distribute the Kermit magnet from park open to park close beginning August 11 while supplies last.
  • Magnet pickup rules require the Passholder to be physically present, show a valid Annual Pass plus a government photo ID, and are limited to one magnet per Passholder.
  • The PhotoPass Magic Shot with Kermit will be offered near the end of Hollywood Boulevard between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and the Key Lime Kermit milkshake will be sold to Passholders at Dockside Diner with ID verification.
  • The promotion ties to the recent Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets reimagining, reflects Disney’s reuse of the Mickey Shorts Theater for special distributions, and carries the practical risk that the limited magnets will run out quickly.
