Hey everyone, I’m Mike, she’s Sophie, and that’s Brenda, and we’re On the Road with Mickey! This is Season 2, Episode 28 for July 12, 2021, and our feature topic today is Our Favorite Disney Pre-Shows. For today’s pod, we’re taking a look at our favorite pre-shows — the show before the show, if you will. Here’s our rundown of what we talked about:

• Cheddar from the Big Cheese
  
  • Sophie: The other day, the big crane that was being used over in the construction for the Tron Lightcycle Run was removed! Hopefully, that means that some of the track for the WDW Railroad is close to being reinstalled and the railroad reopened? Fingers crossed!
    
  • Brenda: Mickey’s PhilharMagic is getting an addition! A special scene from the Disney and Pixar movie Coco is being added to the show! It will start at Disney’s California Adventure and Disneyland Paris on July 17, and will be added to the Magic Kingdom Park during the 50th Anniversary Celebration!
    
  • Mike: A couple of weeks ago, we posted a poll in the Group. The question was “Which is your favorite Loungefly?” There were 11 selections to choose from, and the winner of the poll was Lady and the Tramp! To finish up the topic, Sophie was given the choice to pick her own Loungefly for a birthday present. Here’s the one she picked.
