Celebrating 275 Episodes of On the Road with Mickey!

Hey everyone, I’m Mike, she’s Sophie, he’s Grogu, and she’s Brenda! We’re On the Road with Mickey, and this is episode 275! Our feature topic this week is Celebrating 275 Episodes of On the Road with Mickey! This week we’re taking a trip down memory lane where we talk about our five favorite episodes! Here’s what we talked about:

  • Cheddar from the Big Cheese:
    • Mike: The wait is over! Test Track opened with a soft opening on July 20 and 21st before opening officially on July 22nd after closing for refurbishment in June, 2024.
    • Brenda: Tickets for two of Walt Disney World’s happiest holiday happenings are now on sale.
      Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party dates will run on select nights from Friday, November 7 to Sunday, December 21.
      Prices range from $169 – $229 plus tax per adult, and $159 – $219 plus tax per child 3-9 (based on date).
      Reminder: Guests can begin their holiday cheer early! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party guests can enter the park as early as 4:00 p.m. Even though the party officially starts at 7:00 p.m., guests have the option to arrive three hours earlier to kickstart their time in Magic Kingdom.
      Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be held on select nights from Nov. 8th to Dec. 22nd. Note that November dates are set for select Saturdays and Mondays, while December dates fall on select Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Prices are $159 to $199 per person plus tax (based on date).
      This year, guests can make merriment a half-hour earlier, with Jollywood Nights entry available at 5:30 p.m. before the festivities kick off at 7:30 p.m. They’ll have up to five hours to jingle into the night, all the way until 12:30 a.m.

      Contact Mike at       Mike@pixievacations.com or Brenda at Brenda@pixievacations.com if you would like more information or to purchase tickets.
    • Sophie: For the first time since October, 2016, the Magic Kingdom has a nighttime parade! Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, opened to soft openings prior to its official opening on July 20th. This is the first nighttime parade, except for the Very Merry Christmas Party and Not-So-Scary Halloween Party parades, since the Main Street Electrical Parade closed at the Magic Kingdom!
