Synopsis[]
Mickey and Minnie go on a cruise to relax, but because they're in the VIP Experience they have to endure all the activities.
Plot[]
The episode starts with Donald and Daisy taking Mickey and Minnie on a cruise, but they get stuck in a traffic jam. Daisy reminds Donald that they should have left earlier, but Donald says they're going to be fine. He honks the horn multiple times as Goofy sings "88 Bottles of Pop" and Pluto barks, much to Mickey and Minnie's annoyance. Once they arrive, Donald and Daisy drop off Mickey and Minnie and leave. As they board the cruise ship, Mickey and Minnie needed this vacation, which is because Mickey has booked themselves for the VIP Experience, where they let the staff do everything for them while they just relax, and Minnie tells Mickey he's the greatest.
As the mice enter the ship and explore the luxurious lobby, they meet their cruise director, Erica. She tells Mickey and Minnie to relax and let the cruise staff do everything for them. The staff takes Mickey and Minnie's suitcases, put leis on them, give them coconut drinks, and put sunglasses on them: green oval-shaped ones for Minnie and red regular ones for Mickey. The staff takes them on the ship and put them on lounge chairs outside to relax on the ship. Erica says the ship should be leaving any minute. Just then, as the ship's horn goes off, Erica lets Mickey and Minnie enjoy their vacation, and Minnie is greatful for the VIP Experience.
However, after hearing that Mickey and Minnie have the VIP Experience, Erica gets overly excited and tells Mickey and Minnie that the VIP Experience is the ship's all-inclusive package, with all the fun activities the ship has to offer. Erica presses a button and sirens go off, sending Mickey and Minnie flying into all sorts of activities, which the two mice are confused and scared of, being forced to do many activities, including surfing, multiple water slides, bungee jumping, volleyball, indoor skydiving, rock climbing, eating lots of food, ziplining, and dancing with dancers, until they get beaten up. Mickey tells Minnie the cruise ship staff are "killing them with fun". Mickey and Minnie have had enough of the VIP Experience and need to leave the ship. However, Erica finds them and asks them if they're ready for paintball. Mickey and Minnie scream and run into an underground pipe.
Mickey and Minnie think they are safe and have escaped from Erica, but Erica eventually finds them and pulls a lever, sending Mickey and Minnie flying into the sky on a parachute. Erica also tells them to enjoy the fireworks. Seeing fireworks and a fireball coming towards them, Mickey and Minnie get scared and unbuckle their seatbelts. Suddenly, the parachute explodes and sends Mickey and Minnie flying onto an island. Minnie notices they missed the ship and it's very far away. Mickey and Minnie are finally alone with peace and quiet on the island, as they relax and enjoy their coconut drinks on the island, which Minnie says the island is their VIP Experience, and the episode ends.

Trivia[]

- The whole episode is a parody of all-inclusive vacations at any of the Disney Theme Parks, portraying them as so "fun"-filled they give you no time to relax.
- Mickey can be heard screaming "Mommy" when he and Minnie are forced to partake in bungee jumping, marking one of the rare times Mickey's parents are brought up.
- Mickey and Minnie's screaming sounds are looped in some scenes of the activities as part of their VIP Experience.
- The cruise ship parodies Royal Caribbean due to the FlowRider, the bowl slide on Harmony of the Seas, and the SkyFly being parodied, and Disney Cruise Line does not include these.
- However, the cruise ship has the colors of the various DCL ships.
