Hi everyone!

Our newest Mousesteps Weekly – show #482 – includes a number of different topics. We visit Magic Kingdom for Halloween decorations; head to Trail’s End to check out the now quick-service location (and Jeff has a vintage segment where he happened to be at Trail’s End when Fess Parker visited Crockett’s Tavern in 1992) and we also have segments on the SeaWorld Craft Beer Festival and rode Villain-Con at Universal Orlando.

Read below for all the details after our show!

In Mousesteps Weekly #482, we talk about the following topics:

We start at the Magic Kingdom for Halloween decorations, including the scarecrows in Town Square and the pumpkins on Main Street U.S.A. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off Friday, August 11th! We plan to be at the first three party nights.

Next, we head to Trail’s End, where the restaurant has changed from table service/buffet to counter service and grab-and-go. But first we have a vintage segment where Fess Parker visited Crockett’s Tavern when Jeff was there with his family in 1992.

Our next stop is SeaWorld for the Craft Beer Festival. We were invited and we talk about some of the food items and beverages (a lanyard is a must to keep the cost down).

Our last visit is to Universal Orlando to ride Villain-Con, which we did twice and really enjoyed it! And we met Vector, Gru and Margo at the Illumination Theater facade. Minion Land officially opens August 11th, 2023!

Recorded 08/08/23 Featuring Commentary from Denise Preskitt and Jeff Lange.
