Cheddar from the Big Cheese
- Mike: We missed talking about this on our Facebook Group, but on the 11th Disney Parks Blog shared a #DisneyMagicMoments segment of a virtual viewing of “Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks”! If you missed it, here’s the link to the post, with the fireworks on YouTube embedded in the post. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/12/disneymagicmoments-virtual-viewing-of-minnies-wonderful-christmastime-fireworks-at-walt-disney-world-resort/
- Sophie: The season 2 finale of The Mandalorian was on December 18. It’s crazy how quickly this season went by! There is also a new television series set to come to Disney+ in fall of 2021. A spin off series from the Movie Up, called the Dug Days. It features Dug the Dog and his adventures in suburbia, and the promo was recently posted on youtube.
- Sophie: Lastly, all of the Walt Disney World Archways have been completed. Here’s an Instagram picture of the archway for Western Way. Phenomenal! https://www.instagram.com/p/CIvskKIgY-l/?utm_source=ig_embed

Charity Spotlight – Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue
- From now until the end of the year, we are going to focus on a special charity to talk about. The charity we have selected is the Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue (https://goldenrescuenc.org/) – This charity works to help abandoned Golden Retrievers find their forever home. We have used them twice now, once with our boy Regan and the second time with our boy River, and they are wonderful to work with. If you are interested in donating to their organization, the place to do so is at https://goldenrescuenc.org/support-nrgrr
Sponsorship
- On the Road with Mickey is sponsored by Pixie Vacations by Mike Ellis and Tech Solutions NC.
