Yvette Nicole Brown has loved The Muppets since she was a kid.
So, when she got the call to cameo in a pre-show video for the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney's Hollywood Studios, it was an offer she couldn't pass up.
Brown, 54, appeared at MPTF's 2026 NextGen Summer Party at The Aster in Los Angeles on Sunday, May 31, where she chatted exclusively with PEOPLE about the special opportunity.
"I am the hugest Muppet fan on the planet," she said. "My dream since I was a kid was to be on The Muppet Show. To be asked to be a part of the queue at the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney World — I don't even know where I pinched myself for that."

"They are, first of all, I want to say this, the puppeteers are some of the most talented people you will ever encounter," Brown added. "They are so unsung. You never see them. You only see the beautiful Muppets. I love getting to spend time with the puppeteers. That is a good time. So to get to play with them, do the videos and then see myself on the ride."
Brown shared that she got a call in January and then shot the videos. However, she "kept it a secret" for about three to four months until the "amazing" opportunity was out.
She also said that she was able to go on the ride twice while she was there. "It's a wild ride," she explained. "You got to hold on. You get shot out like a cannon at the beginning. There's twists and turns, you go upside down. It is all the things."
In a video posted to Facebook, Brown joins John Stamos and Darren Criss as they are also accompanied by various Muppets.
Criss, 39, is seen chatting with Miss Piggy. In another moment from the queue segment, Brown is sitting next to Rowlf.

"If you had told me when I was a kid that I'd be part of a ride with The Muppets and Darren and Yvette, my two buddies, I just wouldn't believe it," Stamos, 62, said. "I'm just over the moon. I'm so grateful."
Back in April, Brown and husband Anthony Davis attended the premiere of the film Normal, simply to support the stars Bob Odenkirk and Henry Winkler.
"I am friends with Henry Winkler and I adore Bob. Henry Winkler and I met on Merry Christmas, Drake and Josh, which is probably 10, 15, some years ago," she said to PEOPLE on the red carpet. "So I love him and Happy Days and all that. Anytime I can see him, I'm excited."
Brown also brought Davis, as he was excited to meet his childhood hero.

"I want to meet Henry Winkler," Davis said. "He was there for me in my childhood. I'll be there for him while he's doing any project he does. I'm there."
"And we know it's going to be great. Bob did this, so we know it's going to be great," Brown added.

"It's been really great. We've realized we don't get sick of each other. We're together almost 24 hours a day and he's like hanging out with my best friend," Brown told PEOPLE about married life. "It's just been wonderful."
