Best Attractions for the Whole Family!
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 327, and our feature topic is the Best Attractions for the Whole Family! In this week’s episode, we are talking about our favorite resort lobbies in Walt Disney World! Here’s what we talked about:
- Cheddar from the Big Cheese:
- Brenda: As of September 21st, the single rider line option at Expedition Everest has gone away forever. Disney tested an updated pre-sorting system in the standby queue that divides guests into odd and even party groups before the loading platform. This grouping method fills empty train seats effectively, which supposedly lowers average standby wait times.
- Mike: Have you ever wanted to work at Walt Disney World? Well, if your name is Sophie, then pay attention! Walt Disney World is going to be adding 5,000 new Cast Members in the next five years, spanning all areas of the resort! This is because of the investment that Disney is making into Walt Disney World – they are going to be pouring in up to 17 billion dollars over the next 10 to 20 years, and that will require Cast Members to make it work. If you are interested in applying, go to Disneyjobs.com to apply!
- Sophie: Disney has just donated $100,000 to Gorilla Conservation Efforts in celebration of World Gorilla Day on September 24th. This coincides with the arrival of Bakari, the newest silverback gorilla at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The donation will go to support global gorilla conservation efforts.
