The Muppets Lab photo op is back at The Odyssey a month after it was removed from the 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, but with a new barricade to keep guests from getting too close.
Muppets Lab Photo Op
When the 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival began on August 29, 2024, a detailed photo op debuted at The Muppets Brew-Wing Lab in The Odyssey. However, less than 72 hours after becoming available to the public, the photo op was removed after reports of unsupervised children wrecking the props.
Now, one month after closing, the photo op is back with one major change: Thematic stanchions now surround the entire display. These yellow and black protective items were not there in August.
The photo op features three main displays. The center display is a large lab table. A “Muppets Labs” logo with Beaker and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew is on the front. On top of the table is plenty of lab equipment, cameras, and a display case full of food. You’ll also see Dr. Bunsen Honeydew’s glasses on a stand. A trash can full of garbage sits in front of the table.
To the left of the center table is another lab table. On it is an old computer monitor, numerous vials, and other lab equipment. In the center, a head of lettuce sits on top of an upside-down spaghetti strainer hooked up to red wires. A glass case with a red warning sign that reads “Explosive” houses a cupcake that has, well, you guessed it, exploded
On the side of the “Explosive” case, there are two stickers. One celebrates 70 years of The Muppets, and the other says, “live laugh meep.”
The final display is a large green chalkboard with some scientific and some not-so-scientific drawings on it. Buffalo wings are stuck to the board, and half of a banana sticks out of graph paper featuring an image of the pickle milkshake.
