The scrim may have been removed from the Green Eggs and Ham Cafe in Islands of Adventure, but the sign is still missing.
The scrim had been in place for well over a year — closer to about 16 months.
The black scrim in question covered the piece the held the red gloved hand, which then held the sign. We were hoping that with the removal of the scrim, the dining venue’s sign would return.
Alas, it has not.

Pictured above is the black scrim.
The sign was first removed in the fall of 2019 as the quick-service restaurant was repainted. Five years later, it finally returned in November 2024. Blue, red, and yellow decorative elements were then added to the pole below the ham slice marquee. It was removed again in early 2025.
The sign, pictured above, depicted Sam-I-Am holding a plate of Green Eggs and Ham out to the reluctant character. The sign was seemingly held up by the red-gloved hand, which is also still missing.
In 2021, Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced they would stop publishing and licensing six Dr. Seuss books because they “portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.” At that time, Universal announced they would evaluate the use of these books in Seuss Landing. Since then, the land has seen a lot of work, although not much to do with the books in question. The “Brown & Blacks” ICEE sign was removed. Caro-Seuss-el and the “If I Ran the Zoo” playground underwent refurbishments. Most of the land’s entrance archway was torn down and never returned. Circus McGurkus closed in 2023 for refurbishment, reopening in early 2024. The Sneetches returned to their beaches this summer after a 2 1/2-year absence.
Green Eggs and Ham Cafe mostly serves tater tot dishes, including Green Eggs & Ham Tots.
