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 231 and this week our feature topic is Mike’s Disney Trivia! In this episode, we are doing some Disney trivia! I ask the questions, and Brenda and Sophie see if they can get them correct! Here’s what we talked about:

• Cheddar from the Big Cheese:
  
  • Mike: The team at Universal has been releasing information in stages about the new Epic Universe park. Today, they released a great video that goes into all that we can experience in the Ministry of Magic section of the park! It’s a great video and well worth checking out! Introducing The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Ministry of Magic™
    
  • Brenda: The Momma in me is just beaming at this bit of Cheddar. Disney’s Animal Kingdom has welcomed four new Hartmann’s mountain zebra foals this summer! Penne was born to Heidi on June 13th; Heidi’s first foal, Asha, just had her first baby (a boy) on July 8th, so that’s 3 generations of zebras! 2nd time Mom Juno had a girl, Cada, and second time Mom Aziza delivered a healthy baby boy on July 16th; they are still bonding backstage before venturing out into the savanna. 
    
  • Sophie: Friday, August 9th, marks the 55th Anniversary of The Haunted Mansion! The Disneyland version just reopened with it’s Holiday theming on July 29th!

• Listener Feedback: Hogwarts House!
  
  • Heidi said “Ravenclaw. Because that’s the house I tested into. (You can’t just pick for fun.). I’m 100% sure you’re a Hufflepuff.”
    
  • Crystal said “Gryffindor! Cuz that’s where I was sorted. I like to think I’m brave. I stand up for my friends. I like adventure.
    If I was a character I think I’d be Professor McGonagall. She’s tough on the outside but has a soft inner core. Follows the rules but knows when to break them.
    If I had a job I’d be a curse breaker. In the real world looking back on a 24 year career already if I had a choice knowing what I know now, money wasn’t an option for school or earnings or time away from family wouldn’t make me sad, I’d have been an ER doctor or a storm chaser.”
    
  • My sister Robin said “Slytherin because I am resourceful, clever, ambitious, and determined!
    If I could be any character it would be Nymphadora Tonks. She is fun, resourceful, determined, and clever. She did her job well!”
    
  • Chrissy said “Ravenclaw cause all the tests say i’m that and they are blue.”
    
  • Chandler said “I’m sorry. There’s some static. I can’t quite hear what you’re saying or asking. If it’s a Disney question, could you repeat?”

  • “I knew if this business was ever to get anywhere, if this business was ever to grow, it could never do it by having to answer to someone unsympathetic to its possibilities, by having to answer to someone with only one thought or interest, namely profits. For my idea of how to make profits has differed greatly from those who generally control businesses such as ours. I have blind faith in the policy that quality, tempered with good judgment and showmanship, will win against all odds.”– Walt Disney
