Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney's Hollywood Studios will play "Silver Bells," recorded by Cyndi Lauper and The Electric Mayhem, starting November 4. Disney Parks announced the holiday addition on YouTube with a short comedy sketch in which Lauper admits she has always wanted to sing with the band, "maybe on a roller coaster."

Key Details

A holiday track for the Muppets coaster

Disney Parks named one seasonal change for the ride: a new recording of the Christmas standard "Silver Bells."

How the video sets up the song

The sketch plays the song as a holiday wish Lauper gets talked into saying out loud.

Miss Piggy does not take the world peace answer well:

"Oh, brother. Come off it, Lauper. You telling me you don't want anything at all? Ever?"

The video's automatic captions do not label speakers, and its closing seconds are garbled, so only lines that read clearly are quoted here. Miss Piggy is named in the post's hashtags, and Lauper is addressed by name in the dialogue.

What Disney has not said yet

The post confirms the song and the November 4 start, and leaves the rest of the holiday plan open.

Our take. Riders after the holiday track need a Hollywood Studios day on or after November 4. With no end date announced, a visit early in the season is the safer bet.
