My next bit of theme park trivia involves the Muppet*Vision 3-D attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
The moment you enter the building, look to your right. You will see a ticket window.
Hanging in the window is a sign that says “Back in 5 minutes key is under mat.”
Walk around the turnstile and look for a mat (the turnstile hides it). If you lift the mat up, sure enough, you’ll find a key – just like the sign says.
When you enter the preshow area, take a look around. This area is full of gags and jokes. I know that this attraction has one of the best pre-shows at Disney World, but you’ve seen it before. Investigate a little. You’ll be glad you did.
One of the all time best jokes is hanging from the ceiling of this room.
What is that? You ask.
It looks like some kind of webbing holding, could it be gelatin?
No, it’s not webbing, it’s a net holding cubes of gelatin.
But what kind of gelatin? Possibly a name brand, like Jello.
So we have a net holding Jello.
A net holding Jello.
No”¦ That’s not right… How about,
A net full of Jello.
A net full of Jello.
If you still haven’t got the joke, say it out loud.

They are amazing…..It’s all about the details!!!!
It’s what always brings you back!!
Those crazy imagineers think of everything! I am still laughing! 🙂
That’s awesome! Although I did already know about the key, I have forgotten to look for it every time I was there- shame on me! In the many times I’ve been there, I had never noticed the net full of jello. That’s a fantastic detail! Thanks for pointing it out, and thus enhancing one of my favorite attractions!
the key under the mat is glued down i tried it once after i read the one book that told me about the key but the net of jello i had no idea thanks for pointing this out.
I don’t get the net full of jello joke, please explain?
Answer:
A net full of Jello — Annette Funicello
Annette was one of the original, and probably the most famous, of the Mouseketeers on the Mickey Mouse Club TV show of the 1950’s.
What about the key? Does it actually unlock anything? I’m sure it’s frowned upon to keep it but surely it’s not glued down is it?
Comment: I can’t imagine that the key actually fits anything. And to be honest, it’s never occurred to me to see if the key is glued down. If it isn’t, I’m sure Disney must have to replace it daily.
Haha! I knew about the key, but the net full of jello is hilarious! How did you discover this? Is there a sign or something you figured out on your own? Very cool!
Answer:
I wish I could tell you that I figured it out on my own, but the truth is, a friend told me. I have no idea how he found out about it.
