The Most Under-Appreciated Land at Disney!

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 194 and this week our feature topic is The Most Under-Appreciated Land at Disney! This episode we’re taking a look at all of the Disney parks to find out what we believe is under-appreciated. Here’s what we talked about this week!

• Cheddar from the Big Cheese
  • Mike: Breaking News from Muppet Vision 3D: Disney has just finished replacing the seating for the theater where the show is performed! That’s big news because the old seats were in serious need of replacing!
  • Brenda: Coming to Epcot on December 5th – the first showing of the latest nighttime spectacular “Luminous The Symphony of Us”! Over at the Disney Parks Blog, they have a great post talking about some of the incredible music you’ll hear and see set to fireworks, fountains, and lights. There is also a sneak peek into some of the behind the scenes work that they did. Check it out here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa07tPq0Ir4
  • Sophie: This year, The American Adventure pavilion in Epcot will again have a Gingerbread Display. This one features the US Capital, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, as well as a gingerbread model of the American Adventure Pavilion and Regal Eagle Smokehouse. It will be on display from November 24 – December 30 this year.
