Todd and Julie's children made several attempts for their release over the years. Savannah, 27 — who became the legal guardian of her younger siblings Chloe, 12, and Grayson, 19 — told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview after her parents returned home, "It has been amazing. It's still just kind of ... it doesn't feel real."
The Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley podcast host continued, "We are just so grateful and ready to kind of start getting back to normal life, obviously, the best we can. Everything's a whirlwind right now, and it's kind of hard to live a normal life with how things are right now, but we'll get there."

Fans Heartbroken as Beloved Disney Attraction Demolished — See the Photos
Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D officially closed its doors after 34 years on Saturday, June 7NEED TO KNOW Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D officially closed its doors after 34 years on Saturday, June 7 The attraction was the last project that Henson worked on before his death A Monsters, Inc. coaster and associated land will take its placeDisney World is ushering in a new era as the demolition of one of its beloved Disney's Hollywood Studios attractions nears completion. Nearly two months after Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D closed its doors after a 34-year run on Saturday, June 7, only remnants of Grand Avenue, formerly known as Muppets Courtyard, remain. The attraction, which combined a 3D movie, real special effects, and character animatronics, was the last project the late Jim Henson worked on before his death. The Muppets creator died in 1990 at the age of 53. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! According to photos shared by Blog Mickey with PEOPLE, much of the plaza in front of the former MuppetVision*3D attraction has been destroyed, with only pieces of the pavement that surround its floors and walls still in place. One image shows green and yellow excavators preparing to do more of the demolition that's needed for the Monsters, Inc. coaster and associated land that will take its place. Another photo shared with PEOPLE shows that only one wall of the Stage 1 Company Store is still intact, and that the pavement around the former Miss Piggy fountain has been demolished. The plans for the new attraction, based on the 2001 film, were announced at the D23: The Ultimate Fan Event in August 2024. Billy Crystal, who voiced Mike Wazowski in the Pixar animated movie, announced the news on stage, including that it will allow humans to "stroll the streets alongside some of your favorite monsters" and include a new suspended coaster (Disney's first) that travels through the magical door factory featured in the film. After it was rumored for several months that the new project would be positioned in the Muppet*Vision 3D area, fans were proven correct when Disney confirmed the news in November 2024. However, it was announced in June 2025 that the Muppets would be taking over the Rock' n' Roller Coaster.

"Hi Ho everyone! @TheMuppets are packing up and moving to Sunset Blvd for their first ever coaster! Grab your guitar (or banjo), because Rock 'N' Roller Coaster Starring @TheMuppets speeds into Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2026," a post on X from the Walt Disney World account announced.

Not a bad time at all for a Saturday puzzle, especially after a shoddy start. I only really got APP on my first pass of the Across words. I thought COLOGNE was 'perfume' and I wasn't sure about TONED, so I left it out. I also thought that what turned out to be MSN was 'ICQ' (remember that?). Thankfully, the Down clues saved my bacon. I dithered over PHOTOGS before coming back to it after I got PELOTON, then ALGEBRA, BAND-AID and ABE were huge helps for figuring out Across answers. I was pleased that I figured out MONET too.

President Donald Trump issued a rare threat of nuclear escalation on Friday, saying he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be strategically positioned near Russia in response to what he said were aggressive remarks by Dmitry Medvedev, the country's former president and current deputy chairman of its Security Council.
