Muppets Day 2026 WDW

This captivating Limited Edition (LE) pin, part of the 2026 "Muppets Disney Park Day" series, showcases a unique crossover between beloved Muppets and the iconic Haunted Mansion attraction at Walt Disney World. The pin features Uncle Deadly, the blue, reptilian-looking character known as "the Phantom of the Muppet Show," seated in a chair, seemingly interacting with the legendary Hitchhiking Ghosts: Ezra, Gus, and Phineas. Uncle Deadly first appeared on *The Muppet Show* in the 1970s, where he was initially believed to be a ghost haunting the Muppet Theater before being revealed as an out-of-work classical actor. His ghostly origins make him a perfectly thematic addition to the Haunted Mansion's eerie atmosphere, a connection further solidified by his role as a ghost in the 2021 Disney+ special, *Muppets Haunted Mansion*. The Hitchhiking Ghosts – Ezra, the tall skeletal phantom; Gus, the short, bearded prisoner with a ball and chain; and Phineas, the plump, top-hatted traveler – are instantly recognizable figures from the Haunted Mansion attraction, famous for attempting to join guests on their journey home. Their names, though initially unofficial, became widely adopted due to Cast Member lore. This pin was released at Walt Disney World Resort on February 24, 2026, as one of three Limited Edition pins for Magic Kingdom within the broader "Muppets Disney Park Day" collection, which celebrates various Muppet characters enjoying attractions across the six U.S. Disney Parks. With an edition size of 3000, this pin is a desirable collectible for fans of both The Muppets and The Haunted Mansion, appealing to those who appreciate creative character crossovers and park-specific releases.
