Hey everyone, I’m Mike, she’s Sophie, that’s Brenda, and he’s Grogu, and we’re On the Road with Mickey! This is episode 192 and this week our feature topic is Your Favorite Disney Villain!

• Cheddar from the Big Cheese
  
  • Brenda: Coming to the Disney Treasure in 2024 when it launches: The Haunted Mansion Parlor! This is the first bar that is modeled after the Haunted Mansion!
    
  • Sophie: Disney After Hours Events will be returning back to WDW in 2024. Starting with Hollywood Studios on January 10, Magic Kingdom on January 11, and Epcot on February 2, the after hours events will be available. These are separate ticket events.

  • “Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil, and that is what our pictures attempt to do.” –– Walt Disney
