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 253 and this week our feature topic is Five Disney Magic moments we’d love to experience. This week, we’re taking a look at that special list that we all have of Disney Magic experiences we’ve got on our list to try out! Here’s what we talked about:

  • Mike: In the “This couldn’t happen soon enough category” for Sophie, a closing date for “It’s Tough to be a Bug” at Animal Kingdom has been announced. For any people that want to take one last trip down memory lane, you have until March 16th to enjoy the attraction! After that it is closing and getting ready for “Zootopia: Better Zoogether”, which is scheduled to open this winter!
    
  • Sophie: Hope. It’s a powerful thing. We have reported in the past that Jellyrolls is closing at the Boardwalk this Spring. What we are now hearing, though, is that Jellyrolls may move to another location – perhaps an Uber ride away? More details when we have them, but at the least, we have hope!
    
  • Brenda: Say hello (or meow if you like) to Bakso! Bakso the Sumatran tiger cub has made his debut at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park, on the Maharajah Jungle Trek.
