Ranking the New Attractions!
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 105 for January 17, 2022, and our feature topic is Ranking the New Attractions! We are taking a look at all of the new attractions that have opened at Walt Disney World in the past few years and ranking them from our least favorite to our favorite, our numero uno. Have a listen, and let us know in the comments what your favorite among the new attractions is! Here’s the rundown of what we talked about:
- Update from Last Week:
- Last week we had our ranking for all the Disney coasters, and I asked you what your favorite Disney Coaster is. The poll is still up in the Facebook Group, so go check it out if you wish and vote. The voting has been back and forth, it’s been fun to see, and right now, the lead is with Expedition Everest, with Seven Dwarfs Mine Train second, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster third.
- Also, we talked about Sophie’s first Splash Mountain experience; I wanted to share a photo from her last Splash Mountain experience! She’s rocking it!

- Cheddar from the Big Cheese
- Mike: Back on January 9th, as we reported in the group, the Voices of Liberty returned to the Rotunda inside the American Adventure Pavilion! This is exciting news! The next time you are in Epcot, make it a point to catch one of their shows. You will not be disappointed!
- Sophie: Huge news regarding the upcoming movie, Turning Red. Disney and Pixar announced that the movie will premiere exclusively on Disney+, NOT in theaters due to Covid concerns. It will now premiere exclusively in homes worldwide on Disney+ beginning Friday, March 11.
- Brenda: Just a reminder that the Epcot International Festival of the Arts opened up on the 14th, and runs until February 21st. Are you going to be in town during that period? We’d love for you to share photos with us! Just send them via any of our ways to connect with us, which are listed below. Thanks!
