Disneyland now has two unusual sights for fans to discover: Sleeping Beauty Castle’s winter decorations and rare Muppet puppet replicas inside Disneyana. One brings the magic of the upcoming holiday season to the park. The other gives collectors a chance to see detailed versions of two legendary Muppet characters.
The castle is preparing for Disneyland’s holiday celebration, which begins November 13, 2026. Meanwhile, Disneyana on Main Street, U.S.A., has attracted attention for its collectible Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy replicas. These special pieces carry a reported price of $40,000 each.
Whether you love seasonal Disney decorations or collect rare entertainment memorabilia, these updates offer something different to explore during your next Disneyland visit.
Sleeping Beauty Castle Gets Ready for Winter

Sleeping Beauty Castle is preparing for its seasonal winter appearance as Disneyland gets ready for Christmas. Crews add artificial snow, icicles, and decorative details to create the castle’s familiar holiday look.
The transformation gives visitors a preview of the festive season before the official celebration begins. It also creates new photo opportunities around the castle and Fantasyland.
During the holiday season, guests can experience Wintertime Enchantment at Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle. The presentation combines seasonal lighting, music, and simulated snowfall to create a winter atmosphere.
When Does Disneyland’s Holiday Season Begin?
Disneyland’s 2026 holiday celebration runs from November 13, 2026, through January 6, 2027.
Visitors can look forward to seasonal decorations, entertainment, themed treats, and holiday merchandise throughout the resort. If you want to photograph the finished castle, consider visiting after the holiday decorations are complete.
For the best variety of photos, visit during daylight and return after dark. The daytime view highlights the castle’s decorative details, while the nighttime lighting creates a different atmosphere.
Realistic Kermit and Miss Piggy Puppet Replicas Arrive at Disneyana
Disneyland Disneyana Kermit Miss Piggy 40 percent scale Puppet Heap replica puppets display behind velvet rope 2026.
One of the most surprising Disneyland discoveries for Muppet fans is a pair of highly detailed Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy puppet replicas at Disneyana.
These are not ordinary plush toys. Puppet Heap created the collectible replicas at 40% of the scale of the characters’ full-size puppets. Their construction uses materials similar to those found in professional Muppet puppets.
The display gives fans an opportunity to examine the craftsmanship behind the characters. Kermit features his recognizable green fleece, collar, and expressive eyes. Miss Piggy wears an elaborate outfit that reflects her glamorous personality.
The pieces sit behind a velvet rope, giving them the presentation of high-value collectibles rather than everyday merchandise.
Are These the Original Muppets Used on Television?
There is an important distinction for collectors. The items reported at Disneyana are scale replicas, not confirmed original screen-used puppets from The Muppet Show.
Puppet Heap produced these pieces using materials associated with professional puppetry. Their realistic construction makes them especially interesting to fans who appreciate the artistry behind Kermit and Miss Piggy.
The replicas were reported at $40,000 each. That price places them well beyond typical Disneyland souvenirs and makes them a distinctive attraction for serious collectors.
Before visiting specifically to see them, confirm that the display remains available. High-value collectibles and store displays can change.
Where to Find the Muppet Puppets at Disneyland
Disneyana sits near the entrance to Disneyland Park on Main Street, U.S.A. The store specializes in Disney artwork, collectibles, and keepsakes.
Unlike a conventional souvenir shop, Disneyana offers an opportunity to explore artistic pieces inspired by Disney history, attractions, and characters. That makes it a natural place for unusual collectibles to attract attention.
If you are looking for Kermit and Miss Piggy, ask a cast member whether the replicas remain on display. Also, remember that entering Disneyland Park requires a valid ticket and park reservation for the applicable date.
Even if you are not shopping for a $40,000 collectible, Disneyana is worth exploring if you enjoy Disney art and unusual memorabilia.
Final Thoughts: Disneyland Now Has Something for Disney Collectors
Disneyland now offers a combination of holiday anticipation and unusual collectible displays. Sleeping Beauty Castle is preparing for its winter transformation, while Disneyana has drawn attention for its detailed Kermit and Miss Piggy puppet replicas.
The castle appeals to visitors looking for festive photos and seasonal atmosphere. The Muppet pieces offer something different: a close look at professional puppet craftsmanship and an opportunity to see exceptionally expensive collectibles in person.
