Plot
Several Disney characters are lined up to enter Moe's Tavern, where Maleficent is checking the guest list to enter, and Homer is complaining he's not on the list, however, when Goofy appears, he forces him to be his +1.
At the Tavern, Darth Vader is drinking a beer, Doctor Strange is playing pool, Elsa is creating some ice in a bucket that a Fantasia's broom is filling with beer, while Buzz Lightyear and The Mandalorian are having an arm wrestling contest, that Buzz loses, and Moe thinks that Donald Duck is choking, so Barney tries to do a Heimlich Maneuver on him.
At the table, Homer and Goofy are discussing, while Happy is complaining how the party stinks before complaining to Grumpy, and they get divided by Lisa who comes to the Tavern to collect Homer, who gets his beer struck by BB-8. Lisa then cheers the place up with a song about Disney+.
After the song, Mickey Mouse's shadow appears over the door to the Tavern, overjoying everyone as the boss is arriving, but Bart appears instead, dressed as Mickey, telling them to get back to work, and dragging Goofy away, while Barney drags Homer the other way.
