Changes

Development on what would eventually be "The Muppets Present... Great Moments in American History" began in 2014, shortly after the release of the Muppets Most Wanted film <ref name= "huf"> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/58234c69e4b044f827a795da?timestamp=1478709649895 </ref>. Initially, Disney had planned on creating a show where Sam the Eagle interacted with guests, however they eventually decided to incorporate Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo and Fozzy in order to make it possible for the group to put on a full show <ref name= "huf"/>. After deciding that the show would be performed in the second story windows of the Heritage House in [[Liberty Square]], Disney faced a few challenges. For starters, the Liberty Square trees (that have been present in the park since it opened) blocked the view of the windows from below. To rectify this, Disney Horticulture precisely trimmed the trees.Another issue that Imagineers faced was the Muppets themselves. Because the show was performed on the second story of a building, with guests watching from below, the Muppets were created 5% larger than they normally are <ref name= "huf"/>.
