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 118 for April 18, 2022, and today our feature topic is The Dining Reservation I’m most looking forward to. We’re taking a look at reservations at Disney and are thinking about those reservations that you just have to have, and can’t wait to get one day. 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
  
  • Sophie: Giancarlo Esposito, also known as Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, teased us with a possible season 3 opening date sometime this summer! No official date is released, but can you imagine if it were to come out, say, July 1st? Wow!
    
  • Sophie: Also, I know that we don’t talk about Bruno…but today, we’re going to talk about Bruno! The hit song from Encanto has become the best performing Disney song to date, beating out Elton John’s version of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from The Lion King in 1994. Also, Bruno spent five weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart! That’s phenomenal! 
    
  • Brenda: Cast Member Previews for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind begin today, April 18th, 2022!
    
  • Mike: On the Road with Mickey would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Gilbert Gottfried. Known best in Disney circles as Iago in the movie Aladdin, he passed away at age 67 on April 12th. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, his children, and all those that knew him. All of us have been asked to please keep laughing as loud as possible in Gilbert’s honor.

  • “While the rights and privileges of youth today are far greater than ever before, in entertainment as in other sides of their home and public life, it is still the parents who, in the main, decide what their growing youngsters may see on the screen. So it is the parents and other adult guardians of children’s welfare we must satisfy.” – Walt Disney
