Overview
- Walt Disney World is hosting Annual Passholder previews of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets on May 21–23 before the attraction opens to all guests on May 26.
- Disney has loaded a three-drop Passholder virtual queue into the My Disney Experience app with slots at 7:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 3:00 p.m., and no virtual queue is planned for the May 26 public opening.
- Two preview dates quickly filled Hollywood Studios park reservations, leaving May 23 with more limited availability, and some reports show slots briefly returning in the app for those sold-out dates.
- Cast-member and press rides on May 20 report dense new Muppets theming, multiple audio‑animatronics including Statler and Waldorf, many Easter eggs, and an Electric Mayhem soundtrack mixed lower than the Aerosmith original.
- The preview rush plus a new Mandalorian & Grogu Smugglers Run mission launching May 22 are expected to concentrate crowds, raise Lightning Lane competition and put operational pressure on Disney’s Hollywood Studios during opening week.
