Episode 29: Top Tier Table Service

Mice Chat covers a couple things this week as we had some more Disney Plus viewing, (does Teen Beach Movie live up to the Disney Musical hype?), followed by enjoying an unexpected gift from the cast of a favorite park show! After giving a brief update on potential vacations, we dive into the news – both in Florida and in Disney Shanghai. We wrap up the episode with another bracket – can these two disneyphiles agree on which is the best Table Service Restaurant?

Episode 22: The Great Disney Animated Movie Showdown

During our Mice Chat, we finally cover the closing of the Disney theme parks, and discuss what that could mean for our potential trip planning. We also update you on some of the shows and movies we ticked off our Disney watching list. While we continue to take a break from our tour of each of the parks, this weeks discussion topic is another bracketed competition; this time on the topic of our favorite Walt Disney Animation Studios film!

Episode 6: Thanksgiving Dishes and New Years Wishes

Wow! Episode 6 and counting – good to see all your friendly faces again! Housekeeping for this week brings a Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge topic out of the archives once again, followed by a quick update on what we watched first on Disney Plus! We then spend the proper amount of time introducing and discussing our favorite blogger, and agreeing with her opinions on everything. For the news, Disney announces some interesting and semi-affordable special event dining options to usher in the New Year. Finally, we consider the best places to enjoy a ‘Thanksgiving meal’ at Disney.

As is tradition at this point, a million thank yous to all who listen to our podcast! We are so happy to welcome you into our Disney family, while we share thoughts and laughter over the best topic ever!

Episode 4: Swooning Over Star Wars

Hello, and welcome once again to our show! To make up for running over in last week’s episode, this week’s show is a little shorter! Our first bit of news is cause for celebration as a “bad call” mentioned last week gets reversed! Following this, we crack on with some “’tis the season”-al news, as well as briefly mention our F&WF experience in Disneyland. Rounding out the episode, we discuss our experience ‘not too long ago, in the state far far South’ — and how we were over the moon about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Finally, we really want to just say thank you, again, to everyone. It’s wonderful to know that there are so many of you out there who are interested in what we have to say! We hope you enjoy the show!

Episode 3: Food for Thought

Wonderful to see you all, again, thanks for lending us your ears! This week’s episode is a little longer: we just had SO much to talk about! We start with a little “housekeeping”; clearing up some things from last week’s episode, and looking to our trip on the horizon! Next, we voice our disapproval of the FuelRod debacle. Afterwards, our discussion turns to future updates to Star Tours in Hollywood Studios, and the return of a dining event to Animal Kingdom. The second half of the episode follows our take on some of the 2019 Food and Wine Festival booths, and wraps up with a story and request to all: Cast Members are people too — honor them with a Cast Compliment!

Thank you all, again, for your continued support! It means the world! Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy!

Episode 2: This Is Halloween

Welcome back to our podcast! Episode 2 covers a lot of ground: First when discussing our weekend, we suddenly take on the roles of “movie critics”, we continue the theme as we discuss the success (or not) of the Maleficent sequel in theaters, we discuss our excitement for the upcoming food at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and our equal excitement and fear of the upcoming Rise: Of: The: Resistance ride, we hear the silver bells a-ringing in the distance for the Candlelight processional, and wrap it all up with our review of this year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Thanks, again for listening! We hope you enjoy!

Episode 1: Welcome to the Mouse Ears and Wishes Podcast

We finally did it – we made our first podcast episode! Inside, we discuss a little bit of our Disney background from childhood to adulthood. We also touch on some recent Disney news, which both takes us Sky high (see what we did there?) and also finds us planning future couch potato sessions . Finally we wrap things up with Jenn answering some Disney tag questions, and Stefan having a hard time choosing his favorites.

Thank you for visiting! We hope you enjoy!
