Hey everyone, I’m Mike, she’s Sophie, that’s Brenda, and and he’s Grogu, and we’re On the Road with Mickey! This is episode 115 for March 28, 2022, and today our feature topic is Retired Attractions! This is part 1 of two, and we are looking at the Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios for our list today. Next week we’ll conclude with Epcot and Animal Kingdom. Grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and relax, and tell us in the comments below what you think! Here’s the rundown of what we talked about:

• Cheddar from the Big Cheese
  
  • Mike: Now hear this. Face Masks are now optional on the Disney Skyliner! They are still required for Disney buses and monorails.
    
  • Sophie: Disney+ is releasing a series of sing-along movies to the network; they started with the sing-along version of Encanto, and will be including such ones as Frozen, Frozen 2, and both the animated and live-action versions of Beauty and the Beast.
    
  • Brenda: It has been reported that the Disney Minnie Van service through Lyft is returning during the summer! Dates have not been announced yet, nor has pricing, but if you are looking for a service to get you around the parks or to the airport and back, this may be the service for you!

  • “There are fashions in reading, even in thinking. You don’t have to follow them unless you want to. On the other hand, watch out. Don’t stick too closely to your favorite subject. That would keep you from adventuring into other fields. It’s silly to build a wall around your interests.” – Walt Disney
