Festival of the Arts (F. ARTS), Disney News, and Running For Our Lives...

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2213795/open_sms] In this episode of Accio the Mouse, we’re back from EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, where we ate our weight in artistic snacks, tried (and failed) to paint like professionals, and debated whether or not Figment would make a good roommate. Spoiler: he’s way too chaotic. But the news doesn’t stop there! Disney and Universal updates are coming in hot. On a more bittersweet note, Jellyrolls at Disney’s BoardWalk is closing, meaning no more late-night dueling piano shenanigans (pour one out for the best sing-alongs ever). And if that wasn’t enough, MuppetVision 3D is closing in June, so get your last doses of Statler and Waldorf heckling while you can. And finally, we talk about our upcoming RunDisney event—where we’ll be running, sweating, and possibly questioning every decision that led us here. Will we survive? Will we trip over a character meet-and-greet? Will we justify a post-run cupcake with “carb loading”? Tune in to find out!
