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 217 and this week we’re going over our Walt Disney World Recap! In this episode, we’re talking about all we saw and did at Disney last week. Here’s what we talked about:

• Cheddar from the Big Cheese:
  • Mike: We are fast approaching the 35th Anniversary of the opening of Disney MGM Studios, which opened on May 1, 1989. Of course, we now know of it as Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
  • Sophie: The 2024 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival dates have been announced! The festival will be running from August 29 – November 23, 2024!
  • Brenda: April 22, 2024. On this day, 60 years ago, 4 iconic Disney attractions opened for the 1964 New York World’s Fair. They are:
    • Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress
    • Disney’s “Highway in the Sky” and it’s omnimover system spawned such attractions as the Haunted Mansion, TTA, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
    • It’s a small world
    • The State of Illinois’ pavilion featured a jaw-dropping Audio-Animatronic technology of President Abraham Lincoln – the world’s first fully animated human figure. The success of the attraction led to Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln at Disneyland, which opened before the Fair’s end on July 18, 1965.
    • 42 days later, another Disney attraction came into the world – ME! HAHAHA
