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 293, and our feature topic this week is Christmas Memories! Today’s episode is taking a look at our Christmas Memories we’ve had over the years! Here’s what we talked about:

• Cheddar from the Big Cheese:
  • Brenda: If you are going to be at Epcot on Christmas Eve, you have to stop by the American Adventure Pavilion. For the first time since 2019, the Voices of Liberty will be bringing back the Echo Set on Christmas Eve. This means that the core performers will be on the rotunda floor, while joined by  other vocalists singing from the second floor balcony. This will provide a stunning sound. Here are the showtimes on December 24th:
    • 11:15 AM
    • 12:00 PM
    • 12:45 PM
    • 1:30 PM
    • 2:15 PM
    • 3:00 PM
    • 3:45 PM
    • Here is a link to where you can see this in action, from 2018: SPECIAL – Epcot Voices of Liberty as Dickens Carolers with Echo Finale
  • Mike: Coming back to Disney Plus in January, all of the Indiana Jones movies! This is because DINOSAUR will be closing in February 2026 and will be remade into a new Indiana Jones ride at Animal Kingdom. The ride system will be the same as at the other parks, but the storyline is going to be brand new and based on a Mayan temple to fit the Tropical Americas land theming.That ride is slated to open in 2027.
  • Sophie: We wanted to take time out to wish Dick Van Dyke a very happy 100th Birthday! Daddy took Mommy and I to see the Dick Van Dyke tribute in the theater, and it was really good. Happy Birthday to this iconic Disney Legend!
