Hey everyone, I’m Mike, she’s Sophie, he’s Grogu, and BRENDA is BACK! We’re On the Road with Mickey! This is episode 269 and this week our feature topic is Brenda’s Mediterranean Cruise Recap! This week we take a look at Brenda’s adventures in Europe! Here’s what we talked about:

• Cheddar from the Big Cheese:
  • Brenda: Sophie, do you like Churros? Well, perhaps when you are at Epcot, you might want to check out the Churro Milkshake at Sunshine Seasons! This is 5 snacks in 1! You’ve got the milkshake, and on top you’ve got a sprinkle doughnut cookie, a mini churro, a mini pretzel, and a Mickey Bar cake pop! Check out the image!
  • Sophie: The end of an era: June 7th marked the final day of operation for MuppetVision 3D. 
  • Mike: The Frontierland Station for the Walt Disney World Railroad at the Magic Kingdom will be closing on July 7th to coincide with the Frontierland expansion for Cars and Villains. As a result, the Walt Disney World railroad will be operating only between Main Street USA and Fantasyland. This is also the day that the attractions on the Rivers of America will be closing.
