Hey everyone, I’m Mike, and she’s Sophie, and We’re on the Road with Mickey! This is episode #34 for August 24, 2020, and for today, we are taking a walk and Touring Epcot’s World Showcase. Grab a drink, relax, and join us at Epcot as we continue our tour from last week and pick up at the American Adventure pavilion! Here’s our rundown of what we talked about:

• Cheddar from the Big Cheese
  
  • You can now pre-order a Baby Yoda Magic Band for your upcoming trip! You must have an existing Walt Disney World reservation in order to select and purchase it.
    
  • New Haunted Mansion Funko arrives at Walt Disney World! Victor Geist, #793
    
  • 
    
  • Disneyland News: You can now start making reservations for Grand Californian Hotel and Paradise Pier Hotel for travel starting September 16th! Note: It only lets us price out rooms, it does not allow us to add park tickets, so much like Disney World, expect that the resorts will open before the parks. Disneyland Hotel does not show availability yet, but does effective October 1st.
    
  • Lastly, Disney has an Oogie Boogie sipper cup for sale at the Emporium and also at the World of Disney at Disney Springs!
