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 214 and this week we’re Ranking our top 3 Disney souvenirs! In this episode, we’re taking a look at those items that we’ve brought home with us from our Disney trips and ranking where they line up on our lists. Here’s what we talked about:

• Cheddar from the Big Cheese:
  
  • Mike: Disney announced that the Autopia over in Tomorrowland at Disneyland is getting a change – away from the gasoline powered cars and instead going to electric vehicles. Stay tuned for more updates on that as we learn more.
    
  • Sophie: Walt Disney Imagineering recently filed a patent to possibly change the flight mechanism for Soarin’. If this goes forward, it could mean a greater experience for the ride! This is not set in stone, so stay tuned while we await further developments on what may transpire here.
    
  • Brenda: The construction walls around the Ye Olde Christmas Shop recently came down, which means the refurbishment of this store in the Magic Kingdom is almost completed!
