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).

Lots of big news is covered this week, from a surprising film adaptation of a popular Broadway show, as well as some enticing news in the Marvel arena, both on TV and in the parks – which inspires some energized discussion of certain Marvel character’s futures! This week’s discussion brings us a few steps forward in time to the Colonial Era, as we explore the many attractions and food options Liberty Square has to offer – including a spooky favorite ride of Jenn’s, and one of our all-time-favorite never-before-mentioned (joking!) dining options.

It’s the dawn of a new decade, and we can only imagine how much Disney awaits us in the years to come! We ring in the new year with an episode covering a lot of “Unknowns”! In the updates for our upcoming trips – we will experience both a new hotel, and new dining reservations. We then give our “hot” take on Frozen II – does it live up to the hype? Our news this week covers an interesting new dining experience coming to Epcot this winter, followed by a surprising new Run Disney announcement. The episode is concluded by discussing a event we have not gone to, (but wish we could); the International Festival of the Arts in Epcot.

To those we missed over the break, Happy New Year! And to everyone who has returned, thank you for listening — we’re glad you followed us into 2020, and are excited to see what the future has in store! May you be blessed with health, happiness, and as much Disney as you can get!

We are back with our final episode of 2019, where we instead flip the focus on upcoming 2020. For housekeeping, we have a small update to our April trip, and give a spoiler-free review of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Our news items for 2020 include a potential FastPass Upcharge system to be rolled out alongside Disney’s trip planning application, some of the movies and shows coming to screens this year, and information regarding the Avenger’s Campus which is set to open this summer in Disney California Adventure. Our final 2019 show comes to a close with a discussion that focuses on some of our New Year’s “resolutions” (strictly Disney-related)!

Finally: we would be remiss if we didn’t take a moment to reflect on our year, and how far we’ve come in so short a time, and say THANK YOU to all the friends and family who have supported us on this endeavor! Your encouragement is always appreciated. Here’s to a great year, and another on the horizon. Happy New Year, everyone!

Welcome, listeners, to episode 11! We’d like to wish you all a very happy Holiday Season! This week’s episode is a little shorter, but still packed with greatness! For news, we start by touching on what went well on-screen this year, and what was flopped. Then, we eagerly delve into the upcoming lineup for the “Garden Rocks” Concert series at the 2020 Flower & Garden Festival. After the news, with the holiday season in full effect, and the end of the year fast approaching, we wanted to take some time to recap some of our “favorites” from 2019.

Speaking of 2019 favorites; we’d like to give a big shout-out to all our followers, family, and friends! Thank you for supporting us in our passion, as we continue to share our Disney journey! 2019 has been a wonderful year, and we can’t wait to see what 2020 will bring!
