Disney finally announced that the Muppets are coming to Liberty Square after a rumor started back in early April about them coming to the Hall of Presidents area.

Disney has now posted about the role of Jefferson James, the Revolutionary history buff who will serve as the Town Crier of Liberty Square.
Jefferson James: male improvisational actor (must portray 20-30 years old) who sings, 5’10” and taller, to be James Jefferson, “JJ”, Town Crier of Liberty Square. JJ is a Revolutionary history buff who delights in sharing his knowledge of the Colonial era and Liberty Square with anyone who will listen, and he has teamed up with his good friends Sam Eagle, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and others to share some great moments in American history!
The way we understand it, there will be a live show with Jefferson James drawing in a crowd for Sam Eagle, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and others for a comedic retelling of moments in American History. The Muppets won’t be Audio Animatronics, but rather live puppeteers from the second floor window of Heritage House. The show will begin this October.
