Episode #14 – Getting your Disney Fix without being at the Parks

COVID-19, better known as Coronavirus has spread throughout the world. Information about children with this disease is limited but they are known to have mild symptoms. Many organizations are responding accordingly depending on their area.
It is best to stay home and away from others, especially when sick, and continue following healthy washing hands guidelines, covering mouth and nose, and not touching your face or high-touch surfaces.
Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces. For more information please visit the CDC’s COVID-19 website. Thank you.

Blubrry COVID-19 PSA

Hello everyone, she’s Sophie, and I’m Mike, and We’re on the Road with Mickey! Today is episode #14, and our feature topic is Getting Your Disney Fix without being at the Parks. This was a fun podcast for us because it allowed us to come up with a list of things that you might want to check out for keeping yourself occupied during the shutdown. These are unique times for sure, so anything we can do to help bring some normalcy back to you is what we’re about.

However, we also want to mention that today is my Grandmother’s 106th Birthday! She’s in Heaven now, but Sophie remembers her Nanna and we wanted to mention her day today. Happy Birthday Nanna!

First, though, we have a few items in our Cheddar from the Big Cheese segment.

  • First, a reminder that we’re going to have an On the Road with Mickey giveaway!
    • Darth Vader Scentsy Warmer with wax
    • $25 Disney Gift Card
    • Contest runs from May 1-31, with the winner announced June 1st.
  • In addition, we learned that the big movies that are coming out have new release dates because of the closing of movie theaters. Here’s what we’ve listed for you:
    • Soul – June 19, 2020
    • Mulan – July 24, 2020
    • Black Widow – November 6, 2020
    • Jungle Cruise – July 30, 2021
    • Avatar 2 – December 17, 2021

For our Feature topic, we made sure to include links to many of the online listings that we found. We hope you find these as useful as we do!

The Perfect Disney Meal

Hey everyone, I’m Mike, and she’s Sophie, and together, we are On the Road with Mickey! This is Episode #13 for March 30, 2020, and for today, we are going to talk about our perfect Disney meals. When we posed the question in our Facebook group, On the Road with Mickey Group, we had a lot of great comments. So here’s the question. If you could pick an appetizer, entree, dessert, and drink from any restaurant (each one could be from a different location), what would you choose? Come along for the ride and see what we came up with!

Here’s the rundown of what we talked about.

  • Cheddar from the Big Cheese
    • On the Road with Mickey giveaway!
      • Darth Vader Scentsy Warmer with wax
      • $25 Disney Gift Card
      • Contest runs from May 1-31, winner announced June 1st.
    • Saturday, March 21st Animal Kingdom welcomed a new baby — a Hartmann’s Zebra was born to first time mother Heidi, a baby girl.
    • Also, on February 25th, Animal Kingdom welcomed a new baby porcupine, also known as a porcupette. The baby girl was born to Peri, her mother, who was featured on the Disney+ documentary One Day at Disney
    • Over on the Disney fan site Chip & Co, they have a whole collection of posts up. It’s their Virtual Day at Disney series, and they have one for each of the Walt Disney World parks, and have now posted a virtual day at Disneyland. I expect they will also post a virtual day at California Adventure Park as well.
