Glitches

 * There is a glitch where Kermit doesn't get added to your friends list even after trying to add him. Polo Field said on Twitter that the team was trying to fix this.
 * There is a glitch when trying to open Kermit's player card from your friends list it won't open.
 * There is a glitch when a non-member tries to obtain a member item from the Muppets passport, a fair pop-up will appear.
 * There is a glitch when you act with other penguins and before ending, you take off your equipment and there will be 2 penguins standing and not moving.

Trivia

 * This will be the first of the Sponsored Parties to take place in 2014, and the first since the Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam. It is also the eighth sponsored party overall with the first being the Marvel Super Hero Takeover 2012.
 * Polo Field tweeted a hint about the party in February 2014, stating that it will have "a bunch of different places around the world on it", for example France and Brazil.
 * You will be able to go to 9 different countries and locations, of which the United States won't have a Muppet, as it will be the main country. One Muppet will be at each country to teach you a trick. After meeting them all, you can perform onstage at the Muppet Theater in the finale show starting on March 28.
 * In each country, everyone will be able to get a traditional hat of that country, whereas members will be able to get a hand item relating to the specific Muppet.
 * The March 2014 Penguin Style catalog has a Muppet Masks section.
 * This marks the oldest known franchise to make its way into Club Penguin, with the creation of The Muppets dating back to 1955.
 * Also, The Muppet Show once had an episode on February 16, 1980, featuring the cast of Star Wars, consisting of Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, R2-D2, and Chewbacca, to promote their second film, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, which was later released on May 21, 1980 (see Star Wars Takeover).
 * Incidentally, Star Wars happened to be the oldest franchise to have had a party on Club Penguin.
 * A new species of Wild Puffles made a cameo in the trailer of the party, in what seems to be a fox puffle. This might be a hint that the fox puffle will be available for adoption or will make an appearance at the Puffle Party 2014 in April.
 * It is the fourth sponsored party to not have the word "Takeover" in it. The other three were Make Your Mark: Ultimate Jam, Adventure Party: Temple of Fruit, and Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam.
 * This marks the first time that a few actual characters come to Club Penguin.
 * Kermit the Frog is a limited time mascot for the party, like Rocky, CeCe, McKenzie, and Brady were.

 * This party marks the first appearance of a human in the game, on a portrait on the wall of the Museum.
