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 135 for August 22, 2022, and today our feature topic is Things to do on Check-out 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
  
  • Brenda: Winnie the Pooh and Tigger are back for meet and greets at the Magic Kingdom! We used to see Pooh over by Journey to Imagination but you could only see him at a distance, now they are meeting together at The Thotful Spot in Fantasyland. Well, that’s all I’ve got! TTFN! Ta-Ta for now!
    
  • Sophie: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is going to be re-released in IMAX starting on August 26th in anticipation of the release of the Disney+ series, Andor. In addition to Rogue One, you can also get an extended preview of what the series will look like.
    
  • Mike: As Brenda announced on her Facebook page recently, the Disney Skyliner will be down for maintenance from January 22-29, 2023. This will impact all resorts that have Skyliner service, and bus transportation to all parks will be available during the refurbishment.
