Mouse Ears and Wishes Podcast Mouse Ears and Wishes

We start the second of our two news-heavy episodes with offering our support to those who are and have been suffering under the racial tension occurring within the nation. We then give our usual updates on Disney + viewing, bouncing between a Documentary, a classic cartoon, and the "next, next, next gen" of High School Musical-style film. Our news for the week dives into the exclusive Passholder experience during Universal Studio Orlando's opening dates. Following this, Disney Parks divulges some more of the changes expected to come as they plan their re-opening, while making a major announcement regarding (among other things) temporary removal of the FastPass system.

Surprisingly, we have another news-filled week again! Mice Chat covers our tenth week in Quarantine, with some updates for our potential trip in July. In the news, we once again hear from our girl Carlye Wisel, who updates us on a major leadership change within Disney. We also take a deep dive into the finally re-opened Disney Springs, and get a POV on what was being offered that first day. A final piece of news informs us that Universal announced its plans to re-open as well, and gives some insight on what they intend to do regarding Health and Safety practices. Wrapping up the episode we take a nostalgic trip to pre-pandemic and what we would do during an ultimate visit to Magic Kingdom.
