Underrated Attractions You Shouldn’t Skip

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 270! Our feature topic this week is Underrated Attractions You Shouldn’t Skip! This week we’re taking a look at attractions at Walt Disney World that are probably underrated that you just shouldn’t miss out on! Here’s what we talked about:

  • Cheddar from the Big Cheese:
    • Mike: The Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith is set to close in early 2026, according to Disney. However, they have also announced that the change to feature Muppets in the attraction will be complete rather quickly, and it should reopen in the latter part of 2026.
    • Brenda: Over at Disneyland, the very first Coco attraction is being planned for Disney’s California Adventure Park. We can’t wait to see how this attraction will turn out!
    • Sophie: Congratulations to Disney Legend Kim Irvine! She announced that she is retiring from Walt Disney Imagineering after 55 years of Magic! As you all know, she is the daughter of Madame Leota (aka Leota Toombs). Happy Retirement! Thank you for all you’ve done for the Disney Parks!
