Muppets World Tour Review

Hi-ho! Chill here.

Okay I won't do that.

Hey guys! Chill here. Today I'll be reviewing the first takeover of 2014, the Muppets World Tour! The party received pretty mixed reactions from users - some welcoming the party, and others hating it, some even vowing not to log on during the party. But how did it turn out? Which side's expectations were right (at least in my opinion)? Let's find out!
Features
The features at this party are actually pretty simple. Everyday, you log on, go to a room, do a dance with another penguin, and get a prize. These "mini-quests" are REALLY boring though, and I think they could've done something a little bit better with them. And then, the big show, which the entire party was leading up to - was trash. All that happens is the Muppets show up and do a dance with three frames of animation. Talk about boring. There's also the little Gift Shop event with Constantine. The only feature at this party I liked was meeting Kermit the Frog. At first I wasn't too excited about it, but it was fun getting to hang out and talk to him in English servers.
Score: 3/5
Decorations
The decorations are... well, meh at best. None of the designs really appeal to me all that much. The Cove is pretty cool though. However, the Plaza is TERRIBLE. It's supposed to resemble the United States, but I don't see how it does that at all. And what's up with the Pet Shop? It's the USA, not Japan! There's really not much good to say here.
Score: 3/5
Items
Items... ehhh... they aren't really the greatest. The Muppets costumes just don't feel right, especially when a lot of them are combined with Club Penguin's style. Seriously, Miss Piggy with a beak? The hats from the mini-quests aren't much to speak of either. The quest items are mostly just okay, except for a few, like the Cream Pie and the Beakers. The backgrounds really aren't anything special either.
Score: 3/5 
Music
If anything could save this party, it's the music, right? Nope. Most of the songs are either just okay, or horrible. Like the Plaza. And the Town. The only song at this party I actually like is the Cove.
Score: 2/5
Non-Member Friendliness
Non-members can visit all the rooms at this party, get all the backgrounds, and they can do the tasks and earn the hats from them. However, they can't get the actual items to do the tasks, and will need to find another member to do them with. They can't buy from the Muppets Catalog either, which, in my opinion, isn't that big of a loss anyway.
Score: 3/5
Final Thoughts 
 I was never excited about this party from the start - but I didn't think it would be that bad. While I would like to see Kermit again, I don't think it's worth another one of these monstrosities.
Final Score: 3/5

What did you guys think of the Muppets World Tour? Should they have another tour, or just leave the island forever?

Chill is out, peace!
