Hey, folks. This Is the Opening Ceremony where the 15th and 16th racing teams will be revealed. Feel free to review after reading. It means a lot. Now I may have Mickey Mouse, Roger Rabbit and Tiana share main protagonist roles of this story but I'll think On it some more. As always, everything in Disney belongs to them not me. Let's get It.

=====Opening Ceremony=====

In the Magic Kingdom area, the crowd was gearing up for the opening ceremony of the DK Grand Prix as Mike the microphone gazed at the scenery with the beautiful luminous castle of Cinderella. The place was Packed and cameras were at every designated angle for perfect viewing for those at home. Many Disney characters from their worlds gathered around waiting for the ceremony to start as the roads were clear for the Parade of Karts. Most of the Disney Princesses and the Princes were standing in their seating except for the two obvious ones for they were in the race. In fact, the group from Tarzan, Jungle Book, Frozen, Tangled, Alice In Wonderland and others were in attendance. It was time as the singer Jiminy Cricket stepped onto a podium with Mike ready to announce.
"Ladies and gentlemen, remove your hats and stand for the Disney Anthem performed by Jiminy Cricket from Pinocchio!", the talking mic announced as everyone stood up but someone in the mix had to discipline one of the Toon Patrol to follow the rules.

"Hey, you! Get your butts up and remove your doggone hats!", Grumpy of the Seven Dwarves yelled as Smarty and Psycho huffed and laughed like idiots until Baymax came to control the situation. Once that's done, Jiminy begins to sing with the chorus behind him.
=====OST: When You Wish Upon A Star=======

Once the song was finished, fireworks was launched in the sky while Dumbo flew in the sky leading Dusty Crophopper and his friends from Planes overhead as the crowd cheered loudly. Kermit and C-3PO who are at their booth resumed their commentating after the Disney Anthem finished.
"And we're back at the booth after an astounding performance by Jiminy Cricket and the children's choir! The opening ceremony is under way as we now have the Northern Light show with the Transformation song from Brother Bear followed by the Parade of Karts as you are tuning in.", Kermit said as C-3PO added In.
"Oh yes. When You Wish Upon A Star is an inspiring all-tine song about making your dreams come true and throughout the course of the competition that 16 karts will exhibit what this beautiful anthem symbolizes.", the robot said happily as he continued.
"I could almost tear up but I'm made of metal and circuitry.", C-3PO added.
"But you do have feelings though, 3PO. But I agree that every racer has a dream yearning to come true. Hopefully no nightmares though. Sheesh.", Kermit said as Mike the microphone announced Splashing Pumpkins composed of Huey, Dewey and Louie and also there was a familiar guy of Japanese descent in front with his wardrobe composed of the colors of a certain racecar from a Sega franchise.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for Huey, Dewey and Louie of the Splashing Pumpkins and the legendary vocalist and composer of many video game classics such as Ridge Racer and Daytona USA, Mr. Takenobu Mitsuyoshi!", the microphone said as the crowd cheered as the vocalist began to sing.

====Daytona USA Medley======

"DAYTTONAAAAAAAA!", the man sings as Huey on drums began to play. The crowd clapped to the rhythm as the next lyric kicked off.
"ROLLING STAAAAAAAART!", after that did Dewey and Louie on guitar and keyboard respectively began to ramp up to the song "King Of Speed" as the crowd cheered their butts off while clapping to the song. While the song played, Lightning McQueen came out on the road and did some interesting stunts. The guitar piece by Dewey mellowed some as the vocalist began to sing the next part with the Splashing Pumpkins ramping up again.
"AAAAH-AH-OH-AAAAAH! AA-AAH-AH-OOH-AAAAH! X2", the tune rocked harder with Dewey rocking his heart out Into that guitar while Louie assisted with the keyboard in great sync with Huey's drums while Lightning did donuts. After the King Of Speed did it go to the second song being "Sky High" where the vocalist began to sing.
"I Wanna fly sky high! Let's go together! We are going this way! At maximum speed on the wind! We're flying!", as he paused, the duck triplets played the instrumental of Sky High some before the vocalist continued.
"I wanna fly sky high! Let's go together! We all ready to face the fight! We speed together! Forever! Over the bridge and through the traffic! Flying high, feeling good!", both the vocalist and ducks paused for a moment as the former encouraged the crowd to join in.
"Hit It!"
"Blue, blue sky! Blue, blue sky see! Blue, blue sky! Blue, blue sky I see!", everyone sang as the last song being "Let's GO Away" begins to come on.
"DAYTONAAA! DAYTONAA, let's go away!"
"Let's go away! DAYTONAAAA!", everyone sings that lyric a second time as Lightning did mor stunts posing. The vocalist then sings the rest of the song until the instruments stopped with the crowd cheering.
"Thank you, Disneyworld! You've been an awesome audience!", the vocalist said as he and the ducks took On the energy of the crowd.

"And that was a stellar performance from all on the stage with Lightning adding excitement to the show!", c-3PO said.
"I agree there, 3PO! While we wait for the light show to begin, let's talk about more of the tournament itself. Before we went to commercial, we talked about the points system update in between cups.", Kermit said.

"That's right. Aside from the points reset by 1000 at the end of each cup, the racer's standings in the points beforehand determines their position on the grid once the next cup begins. It adds competitive energy to the Grand Prix.", C-3PO informed.
"With those rules enforced, that means it's anyone's game keeping everyone on their toes at all times. Now as the cup ends, we will have a cup ceremony at Disneyworld Stadium then the Interview with the cup's winner by Fozzie Bear.", Kermit noted. Soon, the Northern Lights show began with the transforming song from Brother Bear with the acrobats on stage. After the show was over, Kermit and C-3PO were ready for the Parade Of Karts.
"And now everyone, it's time to for the parade Of Karts!", Mike said as the parade was About to begin with the carriages pulled by Maximus, Frou-Frou, Khan, Sampson, Achilles, Phillippe, Sahara, and Rapunzel's mare. The carriage had various princesses and princes in them except for Cinderella, Pocahontas and Tiana. Flying Overhead was Peter Pan who is recording the footage without spooking the horses. After the horses were out of the way, Mack who Is one of Lightning's friends carried the float that has room for the winning kart of the championship and of course the winners themselves.
"Look how amazing the championship float is so beautiful with flowers adorned on the sides and has the huge Mickey Mouse head logo. And of course the gold trophy similar to the Stanley Cup but with Mickey's head with a crown on top and the same with Minnie's head. That's where the champions will celebrate on at the closing ceremony after the Kingdom Cup.", Kermit said as C-3PO added In.
"That's true. I'm sure that the best drivers would work harder than ever to make it to the floating victory lane.", the robot said as Mike announced the first kart.
"And starting our Parade of Karts is from the Amazon jungle with a smelly rabbit and one pampered Pooch with no parachute in their Fruit Car, Brandy Harrington of the Florida Harringtons and Mr. Whiskers!", the microphone announced as the fruit themed kart drove in with Brandy driving the vehicle while Whiskers mooned in front of the fans causing Penny Proud and Trudy to shield Bebe and Cece's eyes.
"That whiskers is one class act but he needs to stop doing that. There are kids present.", Kermit said facepalming.
"True. But Brandy has it worse to put up with his shenanigans. The kart there driving is quite odd indeed. The coconut tires and the combination of tropical fruits as the body and engine is bizarre.", the bot said.
"But it's unique to say the least. As for their reasons, we know Brandy's mostly is to show how popular and beautiful she is. Not to mention get some shiny rocks for the Amazon Jungle. Quite an ego trip in a nutshell.", Kermit noted as both spot Brandy yelling at Whiskers to stop mooning and being a complete idiot. Even Mike Wazowski and Sulley were yelling for Whiskers to stop while the latter shielded the toddler Boo's eyes. It finally stopped when Brandy bonked the crude rabbit on the head. The next kart was Woody and Buzz Lightyear piloting RC.
"And next up is Woody and Buzz Lightyear piloting RC!", Mike announced.

"My word! RC looks aerodynamically ready for the race as Woody and Buzz prepare themselves.", C-3Po noted.
"They're willing to reach for the sky and go to infinity and beyond to take home the gold against 15 other racers. RC may be light but has good acceleration to make up for it.", Kermit said. Woody and Buzz switched positions from driver to attacker as they posed and waved for the crowd as the parade rolls on. After they greeted the fans did Buzz went back to driving RC. The third car had Benny modified into a racing taxi with physics similar to that from the Crazy Taxi series.
"And from Toontown accompanied by the Lovely Jessica Rabbit, it's Roger Rabbit and Baby Herman in Benny The Cab!", Mike announced as Jessica and Roger affectionately posed while Benny drove himself in the procession with Baby Herman smoking another stogey. Many males wolfwhistled at Jessica while some women bonked them and gave nasty looks. Animal from the Electric Mayhem grinned at the redhead.
"OOOH! Pretty lady!", Animal gushed with Dr. Teeth and the band members kept him from crossing the barriers.
"Oh, Animal. What am I going to do with you?", Kermit deadpanned.
"Jessica's quite the Looker but we should focus on Roger and Herman. Benny's somehow converted to a racing vehicle for the tournament..", the robot noted.
"Three iconic characters are aiming to represent Toontown well in the Grand Prix. With Other karts in their way, Roger's quite an underdog. But it's good to see his first foray into kart racing. Many cartoon and video game icons take up this career from Mickey, Mario, Bugs Bunny and Sonic.", Kermit explained. Roger waved to the crowd as did Jessica but Roger decided to ghost ride Benny by standing on the hood.
"Why should I worry? Why should I—YEOW!", Roger yelped as Herman yanked him to his seat.
"Hey, you nimrod! This isn't Oliver and Company!", Herman said unaware that his stogey flew out of his hands as Wall-E quickly trashes it.
"P-P-P-P-P-lease! I was havin' fun! Don't be a sourpuss!", Roger said to Herman as Benny spoke.
"Oy! Don't try ghost riding on me, okay? We need ya for this race!", Benny said as Jessica gave Roger the motivation.
"If you be careful and do your best on the track, I'll "patty cake" with you and then some. Sounds good?", Jessica said kissing Roger on the cheek making his ears stand erect with hearts in his eyes.
"Sure thing, love cups! Your loving racer will do his best!", Roger said enthusiastically.

"Looks like Roger got the motivation again. But we'll see what he's made of once the Mouse Cup begins at Mickey Speedway.", Kermit said as the fourth car being Teran and Gurgi in the black kart dubbed the Cauldron Cruiser.
"And next up is Teran and Gurgi in the Cauldron Cruiser!", Mike announced as Gurgi held onto the bars while jumping for Joy while Teran focused on not hitting Roger and company.
"Munchings and crunchings! Munchings and crunchings for the taking! When do we get some? Gurgi wanna know!", the badger man begged only for Teran to calm him down.
"Relax, Gurgi. We'll get some after the ceremony or rather have Elonwi get you some. Now stay calm before you roll Out of the kart.", Teran said as Gurgi eyed Jessica in front of them.
"Wow! Gurgi notice pretty lady from earlier! Gurgi wanna meet her!", the badger man said with a grin on his face but falters after Teran stops him there.
"Gurgi, she's married. Plus, she's not your type.", Teran smirked to his buddy who Pouted.
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"It means you behave yourself or else no munchings and crunchings for you tonight.", Gurgi's eyes bugged out at Teran's firm threat keeping him from his favorite fruit in the world.
"Gurgi behave! Gurgi behave for munchings and crunchings!", the badger guy begged as Teran chuckled to himself.

"That's Gurgi's reason in a nutshell being munchings and crunchings. But Teran just wishes for adventure across the world. That's a neat machine they have there looking like a cauldron on wheels.", Kermit noted. The fifth car being Timon and Pumbaa rolled on to the scene.
"And from the Pridelands, they are the bug loving duo, Timon and Pumbaa in their Wildebeest Car!", Mike announced as Timon and Pumbaa waved to the crowd. The warthog opened his mouth wide with a smile as pictures were taken.
"Keep them comin'! I'm very photogenic you know.", Pumbaa yelled out in joy.
"I can taste victory already! All the grubs we can eat, Pumba! Except for that snobby stickbug that dog and rabbit hangs out with. Yeeesh!", Timon said rolling his eyes about Margo earlier.
"I thought we were racing just to have fun. It's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game.", the warthog said only for Timon to get bored.
"Are you serious? If we win this shindig, we get all the grubs we can dream of! Oh there's Simba! Hey, Simba!", Timon yelled Out to Simba along with Pumbaa. The lion , Nala, Kiara, the Lion Guard and Kovu waved back as they were near Baloo, Bagheera, Robin Hood , Little john and Maid Marian.
"Timon and Pumbaa's Wildebeest Car debuts in the grand prix for the first time after being converted from their Virtual Safari ride. It's a heavy build with average speed but can knock lighter karts around with ease.", C-3PO said.
"Also, these best pals have one goal in mind similar to Gurgi's and that's get more of their favorite foods. Although we're glad that Margo wasn't mistakenly eaten by Pumbaa otherwise we'll get sued.", Kermit noted as he shuddered at Pumbaa's near mistake. Timon and Pumbaa continued on taking pictures as the next kart followed being Yzma and Kronk in the dune buggy dubbed the Kronk Krusher.
"And from the Incan Empire, Yzma and Kronk in their hefty Kronk Krusher! And following them is Kuzco and Pacha in their Llama Mobile!", the microphone Mike announced the four Emperor's New Groove characters as Yzma and Kronk were conversing.
"Wait a minute! Kuzco is behind us! Not to mention that peasant friend of his! We gotta act natural for now, Kronk! Kronk? Kronk, you dummy! Are you listening to me?!", Yzma annoyed with Kronk's antics saw him waving to the crowd and then greeted Kuzco and Pacha.
"Hey there, Kuzco and Pacha! Can't believe we're in the race together!", Kronk said with a smile.
"Can't believe it either but we're in it to win it, baby!", Kuzco said with confidence as Pacha who is driving their kart nodded.
"It's great to come here and witness new people. Oh there's Chicha and the kids.", Pacha said waving to his family members as Kuzco posed in front of the girls in the stands.
"Oh yeah! Boom baby! That's what I'm talkin about!", Kuzco posed as photos were taken of him. Kronk nodded and enjoyed pictures until Yzma yanked him back in his seat.
"Yeow! Yzma, what was that for? I was just talking to Kuzco and Pachaa.", Kronk whined but Yzma wasn't having It.
"Kronk, you idiot! We're not here to mingle and have fun! We're here to humiliate Kuzco and knock him down where he stands once and for all!", Yzma growled as Kronk rubbed his head.
"But, Yzma. Shouldn't you let go of grudges? You're developing eagle's claws on your face.", Kronk said as Yzma deadpanned.
"If I hadn't sworn on my father's deathbed that I wouldn't kill you, I would kill you!", Yzma said as Kronk grinned.
"Did you just quote Hopper? He did the same to Molt.", the lovable oaf said as Yzma gritted her teeth.
"enough! Just focus on winning and beating that brat in his own game!", Yzma said as Kronk added his two cents.
"What about the others? Including the awesome duo Timon and the warthog pal of his?", Kronk asked.
"If they stand in our way, they'll suffer the same fate as Kuzco! Got it?!", Yzma warned as Kronk nodded as he continued waving to the crowd while Fozzie in the stands shuddered at Yzma.

"Sheesh. How does Kronk put up with her? Reminds me of myself and Piggy sometimes. But Kuzco better be careful as according to Yzma's reason is to defeat the emperor once and for all.", Kermit said in worry of the monarch.
"Worry not, Kermit. I'm sure 14 other karts would keep Yzma from doing such a thing to Kuzco. Besides, he has Pacha to help him Out.", the robot assured the frog as the next car being Tiana and Naveen in the Bayou Buggy and not far behind is Pocahontas and Nakoma inn the F1 inspired Willow Dragster.
"And from the Big Easy New Orleans, rolling in their Bayou Buggy is Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen! And not far behind, from Virginia is Pocahontas and Nakoma in their Willow Dragster!", the announcer spoke as the two karts followed behind the Emperor's New Groove racers. Lottie squealed so Loud that Pluto, Lady and the Tramp were covering their ears.
"Ah, the fans love us, no?", Naveen said as he smirked at the fans with Tiana who is driving the buggy with a frog's feet symbol on the hood snapped him Out of his distraction.
"That's good and all but we're here to race in order to promote our restaurant. We got our work cut out for us.", Tiana noted as they are racing in 24 courses not to mention battle events.

"Oh relax, mi amor. This buggy will guide us to victory so delicious that we can taste it ourselves.", Naveen grinned as he looked behind at the Powhatan girls.
"Hey, Tiana. We got company.", the prince smirked. Tiana rolled her eyes at her husband.
"Naveen, I'm behind the wheel right now. I'm not going to tailgate anybody looking away from the road.", Tiana said as she waved at Lottie who Is still squealing. Behind the Bayou Buggy, Nakoma who was behind the wheel of the Willow Dragster looking dark green on the body and wings comedically rolled her eyes at Pocahontas waving to the crowd as airhorns blared and was ignoring the same wolf whistles that Jessica Rabbit received earlier.
"How come I'm stuck behind the wheel while you're standing posing like a model? That's not fair.", Nakoma whined as Pocahontas smirked at her best friend.
"Don't tell me you forgot already. You flipped a coin before the opening ceremony to see who's driving in the parade. And you lost with tails.", Pocahontas said as Nakoma deadpanned.
"Seriously? All right then, you won't have time to stand there looking Pretty. Might have to get your hands dirty like everybody else is doing.", Nakoma noted.
"Don't worry, 'Koma. I'm aware of that. Besides, we have the best dragster ever built. I took us and Ute to build the kart.", Pocahontas said proudly. Nakoma chuckled at the moments of the girls and Utematamakin building the car.

"Oh yeah. I nearly broke my finger trying to screw in that nut into the wheels. And also, Percy and Meeko took one of our tools that we had to stop working and get them back.", Nakoma said annoyed with the pug and raccoon stealing their tools.
"At least, they were kicked out afterwards. Also, I love tan better on the kart.", Pocahontas said only for Nakoma to raise her eyebrows.
"What? Why would you put tan paint on the dragster? Dark green is more suitable for the Willow Dragster. You see trees let alone Grandmother Willow be tan? I don't think so. Anyway, this kart should be worth it. Once we win the grand prix, I'm definitely taking a trip to New Orleans. Just us girls visiting the Big Easy stopping by Tiana's restaurant getting some grub.", Nakoma said with a chuckle as Pocahontas nodded.
"Yes. But we can still go there regardless whether we win or not.", she said straightening her hair. The girls continued on as the next kart featured the 101 Dalmatians and The Rescuers villainesses being Cruella De Vil and Madame Medusa respectively in a Boneshaker inspired kart being the Hellraiser.
"And from London and Louisiana respectively, they are Cruella De Vil and Madame Medusa In their Hellraiser!", Mike said as most of the crowd booed and jeered. The 102 Dalmatians and the Ratcliffes booed the loudest and even Orville, Wilbur, Rufus the Cat and the other Rescuers characters glared at Madame Medusa.
"We're gonna win this competition, you fools! You'll see! I oughta make dog-skinned coats out of all the mutts here! Especially that dog of Mickey's!", Cruella yelled pointing at Pluto who growled at the fur maniac.
"Pay no attention to them, Cruella. They'll soon learn that we always get what we want and we'll do it by any means necessary.", Madame Medusa told Cruella as the ladies cackled.
"Geez! Doesn't Cruella ever give up on furs?", Kermit said baffled at the 101 Dalmatians villain's obsession.
"Apparently not. Her and that jewel obsessive woman will stop at nothing to get and take what they want. Thankfully, we can listen to all the racer's convos through their kart radios and cameras.", C-3Po said as Kermit nodded.
"Yeah. That explains how we can pay attention to all the racers on screen.", Kermit said as the next kart being the Rescue Wagon showed up behind the Hellraiser.

"And riding in their Rescue Wagon, Bernard and Bianca!", the two agent mice waved to the crowd as Bernard was behind the wheel of the kart.
"This is marvelous, Bernard. We're in the limelight with the other racers. But I can't help but worry about Madame Medusa. She's teamed up with the dalmatians' nemesis Cruella to get what they've dreamed of.", Bianca said worriedly.
"I know. Madame Medusa survived the bayou after we'd rescued Penny from her clutches. Medusa must be searching for that Devil's Eye and she'd teamed up with Cruella DeV Vil in order to hunt down the jewel and plenty other gems. But not to worry for we'll make sure they do not endanger the other racers.", Bernard said to his wife who felt a little assured of the situation.
"I suppose. But at least we get to see our other friends competing in this Grand Prix. Is everything tuned and ready for the first race tomorrow?", Bianca asked as Bernard looked at his onboard controls. The diagnostics read that the kart was in great shape and tuned right.
"The kart is readily tuned. I gotta say that Mickey has a speedway named and shaped after him. Kind of unique.", Bernard noted with Bianca giggling.
"It looks pretty cute from the diagram of the track. If only we had a track of our own.", she said as Bernard rubbed his chin while the other hand was on the wheel.
"Yeah. But maybe the officials can do something about it for the next grand prix.", Bernard said as the next kart being the Road Hogger showed up causing the crowd to boo. Mike unenthusiastically announced the kart as Pete and Mortimer taunted the crowd. Even Mortimer threw a pie at Hiro Hamada causing Fred to try and jump the barriers to fight Mortimer only for Baymax and Hiro to restrain him.

"Bahaa-haaa! We're big and bad but once this is all over, we're taking over Disney world with Mickey groveling at my feet!", Pete bellowed in joy as Mortimer who is flirting posing at the ladies with no success forwhatsoever.
"Ha-cha-cha! These babes can't resist me for Long. Not to mention Minnie herself. Once we win the Grand Prix and humiliate Squeaky, we'll definitely make things happen.", Mortimer chuckled causing Pete to roll his eyes.
"Look here, Morty! Just do as I say and we'll both get what we want! You don't want Mickey and his pals to 1-up over us. Do you?", Pete said glaring at the lanky mouse who smirked.
"Relax, Petey. I get the picture. All we gotta do is cheat right?", he said only for Pete to growl.
"No, you idiot! There's cameras everywhere! Sure we can ram and use items but none outside the races! Do you understand? Our goal to the top would be ruined!", Pete hissed with Mortimer sheepishly grinning.
"Oh yeah. I forgot that the big wigs are cracking down on us. It's not like Wacky Races where that moustachioed guy and his snickering hound can cheat and still race.", Mortimer groaned,.
"Quit your grousin', Morty! We got bigger things to worry about! Just be glad we are chosen for this grand prix!", Pete said.
"Fine by me. It's not like I'm that so-called fourth wall breaking mercenary who believes that an author of Fanfiction wrote this story with us in it as puppets and Love it.", Mortimer said with Pete chuckling.
"You keep telling yourself that and it goes for that nutjob mercenary as well.", Pete chuckled as they were driving along the procession. However, cheers were booming as the names of Pete and Mortimer's rivals showed up in their karts dubbed the Cheese Angler and Quackmobile.
"Oh great! Speak of the devil earlier! It's that little pipsqueak Mickey and my future babe Minnie. And of course, the two fashion disasters beside them.", Mortimer said noticing Mickey and Minnie plus Donald and Goofy in their respective karts.

The crowd cheered as the two karts of the 14 confirmed list appeared. They all embraced the energetic atmosphere as many fans held their signs supporting the mascot of Disney.
"And here comes the King and Queen of Disney, ladies and gentlemen! Riding in their Cheese Angler which is a roadster built for the Double Dash style of racing! They're adding a new notch to their racing careers here at Disneyworld!", Kermit said excitedly as C-3PO commented on Donald and Goofy.
"Also, Donald Duck and Goofy are also doing the same but this is totally different than say local races at Hot Dog Hills. This is a world stage composing of various Disney characters vying for supremacy on the track. Hopefully, Donald will control his temper and work with Goofy.", the robot said as Kermit assures him.
"Hopefully, Mickey and the others got through to him so he and Goofy can have a good race. They're gonna need it. as for Mickey and Minnie, their roadster has been tuned and built in their Own garage at Hot Dog Hills. I'm just glad Goofy didn't use his patented Goofy Gas. It got everyone jumping literally.", the frog said recounting what happened after Mickey told him a true story about it. Mickey and Minnie glanced at each other as they waved at the fans.
"Gosh. We're at the biggest stage of racing inspired by Mario Kart. Two heads are better than one.", Mickey chuckled with Minnie agreeing.
"Yep and tomorrow is the first race held at Hot Dog Hills being your speedway. Isn't that exciting?"

"It sure is, Min. We have a home-track advantage. It's going to be a Piece of cake.", Mickey said to Minnie confidently.
"Now, now, Mickey. Remember that there are other skilled racers in the Grand Prix and also, the DKGP Committee placed anti-gravity areas that we're not used to. So be very careful.", Minnie warned.
"Oh. Got too carried away. Hopefully, Donald and Goofy will do the same. But I hope Pete and Mortimer doesn't do anything nasty to ruin the races.", the King Of Disney said frowning about two of his rivals possibly pulling a similar stunt Dick Dastardly and Muttley would do. In Donald's kart, the duck was soaking in all the glory as the fans gave him all the attention.
"Oh boy! Keep those pictures coming! Keep them coming!", Donald smirked Posing on the attacker's seat of the kart as Goofy did his best to drive in the procession.
"Why am I driving this kart? You should be doing that and let me pose some! I'm flexible, ya know. Ha-yuck!", Goofy said as Donald huffed rolling his eyes.
"And let you have all the fun? Not a chance. Remember that the gold trophy is mine—er, ours! Ha-ha-ha.", Donald caught himself from behaving egotistical as Goofy grinned.
"That's the way, Donald! Victory is ours whether we win or lose. Ha-yuck!", Goofy chuckled causing Donald to sigh.
"Ah, phooey! You and Roger have something in common. Being goofballs!"

"and proud Of it. Ha-yuck!", Goofy grinned sharing a common trait with Roger Rabbit. Now all the 14 racers were announced as Kermit and C-3PO were wondering about the last mystery karts.
"We've showed all the karts available but the last two karts to fill the 16-kart grid is coming up. 3PO, who do you think will make the cut?", Kermit asked his co-host.
"Not sure but if I had to predict, it would be Lilo and Stitch as the favorites and of course Tarzan and Jane. They'll be the wild cards of the grand prix. Stitch is a destructive fellow. He can help by using that energy in a competitive manner. As for Tarzan and Jane, they can represent their world well in off-road vehicles fit for some of the courses like the Pridelands and the Hakuna Matata Falls.", the robot predicted.
"That's an honest prediction. Both are fit for the GP. They'll be exciting additions to the pack. But if I have a prediction Of my own, it would be Tigger and Pooh and the last one to make the cut is Nick Wild and Judy Hops. I'm sure we'll fill out the eras of Classic, Renaissance, Post-Renaissance and Revival of the Disney universe. It's pretty unique in a nutshell. Animal cops and definitely the best legends around. Seriously, we'll definitely know their reasons for entering if they are revealed.", Kermit said as Mike begins to announce the first of two karts.
"And the first kart rolling in is from Zootopia City in the Zoo Interceptor, Judy Hops and Nick Wild!", the mic said as the police cruiser inspired kart rolled on with Judy driving while Nick smirked and contemplated on representing his and Judy's universe.
"Judy Hops and Nick Wild are correct in my predictions as their racer is inspired by their professions in Zootopia. Their motivation of overcoming Prejudice wherever they go. Now their backstory is unique and inspiring. According to their entry, they've entered the Grand Prix in hopes of inspiring those in Zootopia and beyond to overcome challenges and not let anything stop them.", Kermit noted as C-3PO nodded.
"Yes. They've been through a lot before they began their careers as cops. Nobody shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but the story it conveys. And Judy and Nick's are something to learn from. I'm sure they're going to be a dark horse in the race and battle events.", C-3PO noted. Judy asked her friend Nick of what he's thinking about.
"Hey, Nick."
"Hmm?"

"Are you okay?", Judy asked in concern with Nick nodding.
"It's fine. Just thinking about how far we've come. We've been cops for some time now after Bellweather got incarcerated. Now we're in the Grand Prix with every animal in Zootopia watching us. It's like we're inspiring others who were in our shoes to have hope and determination.", Nick said honestly. Judy nodded in understanding.
"I see what you mean, Nick. Zootopia may not be a true utopia but we can make it a better place by inspiring others who have been judged and prejudiced by others. We've achieved our dreams of being cops and now we can inspire others and that's definitely a win in our book.", Judy said as Nick smiled.
"Yeah. That's true in a nutshell. The fact we're at the most happiest place on Earth makes It more awesome.", Nick chuckled as Judy agreed. The last kart was about to show up with a shocker.
"And from the arcades in the Slaughter Mobile, Wreck-it-Ralph and Vanalope Von Schweets!", Mike announced the final kart as the crowd screamed for joy as the Disney Princesses in their carriages and Karts applauded for their friends competing in the competition.
"I can't believe It! Ralph and Vanalope is here to race in the GP and especially in one of the vehicles from Slaughter Race!", Kermit said excitedly.
"Indeed and the fact they've reunited for such an occasion. Vanalope is no stranger to racing for she starred in Sugar Rush and Slaughter Race. Though the DK Grand Prix is set across various Locations of the Disney universe will have both racers adapt to the track not familiar to them. However, Vanalope's driving instincts and Ralph's aggression will come in handy for the both Of them pitted against 15 other teams. It's going to be exciting tomorrow at Mickey Speedway.", the robot stated. Vanalope and Ralph waved to the fans and then smiled to each other.
"It's great to compete alongside other Disney greats. And the fact that we're working together again after so long away from the arcades.", Vanalope said as Ralph who is driving nodded.
"It sure is, kid. And the fact we spotted the princesses including two competing alongside us will be a blast.", Ralph said enthusiastically.
"I agree. It's been a while since we've got in touch with them but this isn't a class reunion. It's a competition of supremacy. Thankfully, Mario trained us before the Double Dash Grand Prix with the help of Luigi. Otherwise, we'd be sunk for sure.", Vanalope said as Ralph assured her.
"No worries. You have the driving instincts while I dish Out the aggression. Racing is in your DNA for sure, Kid. Just do what you do best and it'll come around.", the large wrecker said causing Vanalope to feel a little better. The duo followed the other karts to the stage in front of Cinderella's castle for the Opening of the event.
"Now that all the 16 karts are announced, they'll make the journey to Cinderella's castle where Princess Cinderella and Prince Charming will declare the Grand Prix open. Once that's done, the Grand Prix will officially begin.", Kermit said.
"I'm so excited. I haven't felt this excited about racing since the Pod Racing days. The suspense and thrills are killing me.", the bot said.
"I agree with that as it is almost time for the declaration.", Kermit noted as the cameras showed each of the Princesses and Princes in their carriages leading the Parade of Karts from Belle and Beast, Mulan and Shang with Cri-Kee and Mushu, Snow White and Florian, Rapunzel and Eugene, Jasmine and Aladdin, Merida and Queen Eleanor, Ariel and Eric, Moana and Maui, Anna, Elsa, Olaf and Kristoff and finally Aurora and Phillip. After all the carriages stopped at the castle, the royals stepped out of their carriages waiting for the Parade of Karts to arrive. Moments later, Mack moved the float over to make way for the racers.
"Here come the racers in the order they've appeared in. Now we wait for the Prince and Princess Cinderella to arrive.", Kermit said to the viewers. It didn't take long for Mike to remind the fans of what's next to come.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please remain courteous as the arrival of Prince Charming and Princess Cinderella arrives with the King and the Grand Duke.", the microphone reminded as the royals of the castle marched up to the podium as the fanfare played. The crowd cheered when every royal stood at the podium ready. The Grand Duke announced the arrival.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby address the arrival of His Highness and Her Highness Prince Charming and Princess Cinderella respectively accompanied by His Majesty, King Franklin and Lady Anastasia Tremaine.", the Duke announced as the crowd respected and saluted the royals. Cinderella smiled and waved to the audience before she spoke up with grace and poise.
"Thank you, everyone for attending such an occasion like no other. The first ever Disney Kart Grand Prix brought us together from different worlds to not only compete but connect with each other.", Cinderella said with Charming adding in.
"I agree for like the Olympics, the World Cup and others do they bring us together putting aside our differences. I say that the competition will for better or worse grant us a new perspective on things and appreciate the magic that makes it special with memories.", Charming added. The royals did their speech for not too long as Cinderella got the ok from the King to open the competition.
"On behalf of King Franklin, I declare the inaugural Disney Kart Grand Prix open.", Cinderella declared as the competition ribbon was cut symbolizing that the competition is underway.
"And now we are officially opening the first-ever DK Grand Prix thanks to Cinderella. Now tomorrow will be the first competition at Hot Dog Hills in the Mouse Cup.", C-3PO noted.
"The first of 6 cups being the Mouse Cup will have Mickey Speedway and Minnie Mall at Hot Dog Hills followed by Wonderland Gorge and close off the first cup at Disneyworld Stadium. It's a cup to get everyone's feet wet before things shape up. I thank everyone for tuning in to the Opening Ceremony as we'll see you all tomorrow from Hot Dog Hills at Mickey Speedway. Goodnight, everyone from Kermit the Frog and C-3PO. This was DK Grand Prix Opening Ceremony on ESPN and ABC.", the frog closed off the broadcast showing the fireworks lightening the night over the castle as the overhead view spots the 16 racing teams standing and mingling before the camera fades.
