Episode 25: Our Pixar Picks – Agree to Disagree

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).

Episode 15: Here There Be Pirates

Many things are covered in this week’s Mice Chat, including our brief review of Little Women, a correction regarding last week’s episode, and the opening of the Festival of the Arts in Disney World, and the Rise of the Resistance Ride in Disneyland. We keep the news short this week, touching on the new food to be found at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, and the surprise update to the France pavillion in Epcot. Continuing our new discussion series, this week we take a deep dive into the jungles of Adventureland, and what attractions, food, and fun await you there!

Episode 12: A New Disney Decade

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!
