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 198 and this week our feature topic is Would You Rather…Disney Style 2023! We played this game last year, and have decided to make it a yearly occurrence where I ask Brenda and Sophie questions, and we get their feedback. Here’s what we talked about this week!

• Cheddar from the Big Cheese
  
  • Brenda: In honor of Giving Tuesday, Disney announced that the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive – with the support of families and fans – has collected 16,125 toys for the Marine Toys for Tots program. In addition, Disney is providing grants to Toys for Tots that will deliver an additional 75,000 toys to children in need!
    
  • Sophie: Last week we shared the dates for the Festival of the Arts for next year. Today we wanted to share a few more details. One thing that I’m excited about is that the DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series will have 3 performances each day throughout the festival. The full list of performers can be found at the Disney Parks Blog.
    
  • Mike: Disney has announced a Southern California resident ticket offer! The three day ticket offer is as low as $75 per day on a one-park per day weekday ticket. The tickets went on sale December 5th for visits January 2 – June 2, 2024.

• Listener Feedback – A Day with Walt
  
  • Chandler wrote a Google Doc on what he would do with Walt. It went something like this: 1) Start at Epcot because that was the catalyst for the Florida project. 2) Skyliner to Hollywood Studios. 3) Eat at Gran Destino Tower for lunch. 4) Animal Kingdom. 5) Magic Kingdom. Last thing. Sit at Main Street until the Kiss Goodnight, then he would thank Walt for everything he did. Every. Single. Thing.
