Hey everyone, I’m Mike, she’s Sophie, that’s Brenda, and he’s Grogu, and we’re On the Road with Mickey! This is episode 153 of On the Road with Mickey and our feature topic this week is our 2022 Year in Review! 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: The Epcot International Festival of the Arts is gearing up, running from January 13th – February 20th, 2023. Part of the excitement is that you can also watch some of the Disney on Broadway concert series performances during your stay. Who’s going to be there?
    
  • Brenda: On select seven-night sailings through mid-March, families cruising on the Disney Fantasy will enjoy Pixar Day at Sea! This day-long celebration will include meet-and-greet opportunities, dance and pool parties, family activities and an all-new nighttime spectacular!
    
  • Mike: This past Friday, January 6th, was a very special day. For starters, it was my Dad’s 83rd birthday, so Happy Birthday Dad! In addition, January 6, 2020 was the day that Sophie and I kicked off On the Road with Mickey! For those of you that have been faithful listeners since that first episode, thank you so much for following along with us. Here’s to another great year of podcasts!
