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 215 and this week we’re covering The ABC’s of Disney: Things we like at Disney that start with the letter B! In this episode, we’re taking a look at Disney things that start with the letter B. Here’s what we talked about:

• Cheddar from the Big Cheese:
  
  • Sophie: In Disney movie news, Disney has set release dates for a lot of upcoming movies. These are down the road a bit, but here you go: TRON: Ares will be arriving on October 10, 2025, followed by The Mandalorian & Grogu on May 22, 2026, Toy Story 5 on June 19, 2026, and Live-Action Moana on July 10, 2026. Moana was pushed out from June 27, 2025 initial release date.
    
  • Brenda: When Disneyland was being built, Walt Disney would take audiences behind the scenes of the development of the park. Well, Walt Disney Imagineering is taking a page out of Walt’s playbook and has launched a new YouTube series called “We Call It Imagineering.” Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e1R2vUORGI 
    
  • Mike: On April 7th, pin trading between Cast Members and Guests officially returned to Walt Disney World! This hasn’t been done for a while now because of COVID, so I think this will make me bring my pins to WDW this weekend and see what’s out there to trade!
