This week’s episode is chock-full of Disney fun! In Mice Chat, we cover four things we experienced in on-screen Disney magic, and give a small update to our travel plans. From there, we jump on in to the news, where a familiar face makes its reappearance, and we read through the proposed government timeline of the country-wide phased reopening. In our discussion we turn to something near and dear to our hearts; MUSIC! Specifically the music that you hear when inside or riding upon one of the many wonderful attractions at the Disney Parks.

Our episode this week starts as you’d expect: Mice Chat gives some more updates on what we’ve done at home Disney-wise including our reactions to the next episode of Encore! and a deep dive into our thoughts on the newest Pixar movie: Onward. Following our chat, news focuses on some of the updates “across the pond”, where Wuhan and Shanghai Disney are feeling out how things might look on the other side of Coronavirus, and what that might mean for us, stateside. Following these updates, we flip some more coins as we put all the Pixar movies in a bracket-style competition, to find out what we might consider to be our ultimate Pixar animated movie(s).

In this week’s Mice Chat, we give a brief update to our ever-shifting travel plans and give some more updates on our recently viewed Disney Plus shows, including the finale of the High School Musical trilogy! We also share a small bit of news on how Shanghai Disney is ‘testing the waters’ in soft-opening some non-park areas. “Tune in” to our discussion this week as Jenn and I review some of our favorite “AtMousePhere” musical themes that can be heard throughout the Disney parks. (In this instance, AtMousePhere music is any music that you wouldn’t strictly hear while riding a ride, but includes ambient music and queue music.)
