This area of the park has undergoing a major transformation and is in flux. Right now it basically is the Muppet film and a couple dining locations.

Original Thoughts from the 90s-2004 when Mickey Ave housed the Backlot Tour before it "moved" to the Streets of America:
Mickey Ave. is your gateway to the backlot. This used to be the essence of the studios. Here is where you can see moviemagic come alive. This is where you would walk through working sound stages The other big attraction on the backlot is the Backstage Studio Tour. This is a tram tour in which you ride around and see some of the houses used in films and TV shows. Along with going through Catastrophe Canyon (Disney's special effects exhibit). The backlot has taken the hardest hits in the transition to a theme park. The tram tour has been redone several times and now is so short if you blink you might miss it. The information you get during the other tours is somewhat interesting, but it will go in one ear and out the other.

The Muppets film is entertaining, but it is the original film with no changes.
