gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-20 06:25:08

In addition, the Hollywood Reporter writes that there’s the potential for the special to turn into a “backdoor pilot” for a future Muppet Show revival. Th

When we hear of criminal activity at Walt Disney World, it’s not usually pertaining to an action sequence that feels like it’s come right out of a Disney movie itself. But that was apparently the case this week in Orlando, when over $10,000 was stolen from a Disney World restaurant by a scuba-diving criminal mastermind.
