Fans of The Muppets: we’ve got big news!

Kermit the Frog Topiary

We love seeing The Muppets get the attention they deserve, from nuiMOs plushes to topiaries at EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival. But now, the iconic crew is being recognized on a MUCH larger scale.

Disney has announced that “The Rainbow Connection,” written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher, was included in the National Recording Registry Class of 2020. That’s a pretty big deal! The Library of Congress picks songs and audio recordings for this list that are “worthy of preservation for all time based on their cultural, historical or aesthetic importance in the nation’s recorded sound heritage.” Wow!

In case you’re wondering just how big of a deal this is, Kermit is now in the company of Janet Jackson, Kool & the Gang, Labelle, Louis Armstrong, and many more. “The Rainbow Connection” is the very first song from the OG The Muppet Movie in 1979, so it definitely has some history!

Kermit himself seemed pretty thrilled by the news! He shared, “Well, gee, it’s an amazing feeling to officially become part of our nation’s history. It’s a great honor. And I am thrilled — I am thrilled! — to be the first frog on the list!” You can watch his full interview with Dr. Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress, here:

I am a huge fan of the plant-based entrees at Disney’s Hollywood Studios quick service dining locations. So I decided to give the Plant-Based “Lobster” Roll at Rosie’s All American Café a try this week. I knew it would not be as creamy and succulent as a regular lobster roll, but I was hoping for a little more than what I got.

On the menu it is described as Plant-based Lobster Roll – Marinated Hearts of Palm, Celery, Sweet Apples, and Creamy Old Bay Dressing served with House-made Crispy Potato Chips – $10.49

Hearts of Palm is an interesting choice, and I applaud the culinary team at Hollywood Studios for their creativity. For me the brine and sharp flavor of them was overpowering. I am pretty okay with Hearts of Palm. My second home of Cedar Key, Florida has a weird signature salad using them. But these overtook any other flavors in the mix. I could not detect any sweet apples or even celery.

The Creamy Old Bay Dressing was appreciated. I love Old Bay. The roll itself was toasted and sweet, a traditional lobster roll staple, but it also fell apart after two bites. I did also order the Snacking Sandwich Cookie, a new treat that Chrissy tried last week. Definitely a different dessert, that is tasty and fun. All the tables at Rosie’s All American Café were taken so my son and I just stood to the side and propped our food up on a planter. No surprise, my preschooler did not enjoy this meal either.

There are plenty of other plant-based entrees at Hollywood Studios that are better, like at Docking Bay 7 and ABC Commissary. I would recommend sailing over to those destinations and away from this Plant-based Lobster Roll.

Do you like to explore plant-based dishes at Disney? How does this one sound to you?
