On this #WhateverWednesday, we’re spending a little more time with the Palisades Muppets Vacation Pepe, and today he’s joined by Plunderlings Fwush!

While Disney happened to give Pepe the character spotlight a couple of weeks ago for its #TheMuppets70 campaign, Pepe also turned up on my recent trip to Walt Disney World to see MuppetVision 3D at Disney’s Hollywood Studios one last time before the show closes forever on June 7, 2025. This is my last reminder: you’ve got about nine weeks.

Plunderlings Raider Fwush also joined in the fun at Walt Disney World, leaving his pirate weapons at home. These Peter Pan topiaries at EPCOT were right in his wheelhouse.

We’ve now left Walt Disney World and stopped by Bonanza Golf and Gifts on Highway 192 just south of Disney property, so Fwush could take a picture with this waterfall that is nearly as blue as he is.

Ahoy! We’ve now moved out to sea, and Fwush is enjoying the Pirates Cove aquapark on our cruise ship. Who knew pirates would be an excellent theme for water slides on the ocean?

When the boat stopped at Ocean Cay, MSC’s private island and reserve, Fwush found all these iguanas just chilling in the sun. They blend in well with the rocks. How many can you spot?

Yes, I could have zoomed in and cropped this picture a bit. However, Fwush on a beach-side palm tree looked fun from top to bottom.

Here is a tiny lizard that (like the iguanas) was not interested in making friends with little blue creatures.

We skipped by this beach, but Fwush wanted a picture with the lighthouse.

As did Pepe

Too many beaches, and not enough time for this shrimp. “I am not a shrimp–I am a king prawn, okay!” Okay, Pepe. See you next time!
