We're discussing the Disney characters that provide wisdom and guidance to our favorite heroes. Maybe they're grandmothers, fairies, or even animals, some of the best lessons in Disney films come from these under appreciated characters. We figured since the last two episodes were very content heavy and slightly more serious, we'd give ya a shorter, light hearted episode this week.

Welcome back to the second half of our conversation about racial/cultural depictions in Disney Films and Properties.

This week, we decided that we wanted to address a topic that we may have previously shied away from, but we invited two of our friends (and former Cast Members) to join us for a discussion about the racial diversity in Disney, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The conversation was heavy and long- so long in fact that we decided to break it up into two episodes- we recorded for almost 5 hours. This is part one of the discussion featuring Miguel (@guelo.flores) and Brandy (@mrstangerinespeedo). Che...

This week we're bringing back our watch alongs, it's been a while. But we felt it was time to get into Hunchback! Steph's favorite Disney Animated Film. Also considering the current climate, a film about injustice and prejudice feels a bit poignant. When we recorded, Disneyland hadn't announced their reopening plan, but they have since- we'll talk about it next week! Enjoy!

This week we discussed the Disney Channel Concert Series that aired from 1997-2001; it helped boost the careers of many pop stars (ahem, *NSYNC) and eventually evolved into the Disney Radio cash cow that brought us things like High School Musical The Concert; Jonas Brothers live in 3D etc, etc. Fair warning this isn't as *DISNEY* heavy an episode as normal; but it's relevant! We also discussed the new proposal to reopen Walt Disney World and how we feel about all of that. Check out our socials, ...

This week we took a deep, deep dive into the history, best, and worst of Disney Channel Original Movies. Breanna joined us because Stephanie admittedly does not have enough personal experience with DCOMs to offer opinions on them, but Joyce and Breanna certainly get into it. From Under Wraps in 1997, to Zombies 2 from this past February, we broke down our favorites, least favorites and the franchises that broke records and changed the face of the Disney Channel! you can find Breanna on socials a...

Did you know there are over 20 "mountain" themed attractions at Disney Parks worldwide? We broke down the most well known "mountain range" that features at most of the "disneyland"/"Magic Kingdom" parks, Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, and Splash Mountain. We also mentioned the history and information about The Matterhorn and Expedition Everest. Lots of history and lots of information in this one, but we hope you find it as interesting as we did! We would love to hear your thoughts, please tun...

Joyce and Steph went over these guidelines and discussed what that would mean for Cast Members, guests, and the Disney Magic as a whole.

This week, because we've been thinking SO MUCH about Meet The Robinsons, we decided to safely and remotely do a watch along. We invited our friend, Breanna to join us because this is one of her favorite films as well. We enjoyed debating time travel and how under appreciated this film and its soundtrack are.

We recorded this episode over a month ago, but here it is. We finally have our watch along with Pocahontas. Joyce and Steph agree that it is low on their list of the renaissance films. But even after viewing we can't figure out what is lacking ... why it's not closer to the top. Maybe you can tell us? The scenery is beautiful. Meeko is THE BEST. Also, Thomas's father can get it!!! Next week, we'll have new content for you! Promise! Stay safe! Check out our socials, we follow back! https://twitte...

Some villains are born that way, others have evilness THRUST UPON THEM! (Wicked reference, anyone?) But today after lamenting life in quarantine for a bit, we decided to talk about the villains who got the short end of the stick. They may not be entirely evil, but instead were driven to dastardly doings by circumstance. Stinky Pete never got played with, Bowler Hat Guy lost the baseball game, etc. Let us know what you think about these baddies. Stay safe! Check out our socials, we follow back! h...

This week we're bringing you our Watch Along of The Lion King, so Be Prepared for some fun facts and opinions while we watch Hamlet... set in Africa... but with Lions... it's good stuff.

Hey gang! This week we decided to brainstorm and share some ideas of things you can do while you're stuck at home!!! (the name of the episode is a play on where Rapunzel is from in Tangled... and the state of the world right now, yikes!) Disney games, apps, coloring pages shopping etc, we covered it all... and had a few tangents - but, well, just listen. We hope that you're staying safe and healthy. Please take care!

This week we did our third watch along, this time it's ALADDIN! How many hours of Robin Williams improvising ended up on the cutting room? What did Gilbert Gotfried do to make him crack up? Why did it take the Sultan so long to change the law? and WHY are Jafar's hands SO big? All of this and more on the episode. Also we discussed the Jungle Cruise accident and why Hillary Duff doesn't think adult Lizzie belongs on Disney+! Check out our socials, we follow back! https://twitter.com/RadioMickeyx ...

Did you know that there are several Disney characters who have different actors to speak their lines and sing their songs? Dubbing was always a thing in Hollywood and then in the 90s Disney decided to dub characters for their songs. We discussed that on this week's episode.

Sorry for the "explicit" rating but since this week involves conversation about the alleged sexual/adult "surprises" in Disney films, we erred on the side of caution. Don't want to get yelled at for the amount of times we said "penis" (among other things... no actual cursing though....) Listener discretion is advised. Half of this episode is devoted to knobby knees, inappropriate whispers, and potential flashing, as well as some intentional adult themed jokes that go over kiddies' heads. The oth...

This week we took a look at (hopefully) all of the retired/discontinued attractions at the Walt Disney World Resort. Notably, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, The Great Movie Ride, The Wonders of Life Pavilion, Camp Minnie-Mickey and so much more! As Walt Disney said, Disneyland (and World) will never be completed. We will keep building, which means they'll keep upgrading and changing and evolving many aspects of the parks. Sometimes that means they get rid of some of our favorites. Thanks to the i...

Hello! Unfortunately, Joyce came down with a fever this week, so we had to improvise. I remembered that I had recorded a conversation with my seven year old niece, Grace, on Christmas Day and thought, this seems like a good time to use it for an episode. Grace and I discussed her favorite Disney characters and her upcoming trip (which has since passed). Just two kids talking about how much they love Disney... well one actual kid and her aunt who hosts a Disney podcast... Please enjoy. Please rem...

Last week we mentioned it, and we were curious to try it, so this week we did something a little different. We watched The Little Mermaid and had an open dialogue while it played. We asked some questions, we offered some "fun facts" about the film, and also just had pretty honest reactions to what we were seeing (like, girl you ARE still a child!). You will hear *some* clips of the film under our discussion, but no, it is not the ENTIRE movie on this episode, as you can see it's less than an hou...

This week we decided it was time to just get it out of our system and devote an entire episode to one of our favorite Disney films turned Broadway phenomenon, NEWSIES! We discussed the transition from film to stage, how under utilized the iconic actors in the film were, the song/lyric changes, what works, what doesn't... We also spent some time discussing the Original Broadway Cast and how wonderful they all are. There cannot be enough good things said about NEWSIES. Disney struck gold when they...

This week we discussed all of our favorite Disney songs, including songs from the Theme Parks, Disney Channel movies, tv shows, Broadway, live action and the animated features. Obviously Alan Menken and Howard Ashman wrote some of the best Disney music of all time, but so did the Sherman Brothers, and so many more. If you agree with our picks, please let us know, and if you have a favorite or two that we forgot or didn't mention, please let us know that too. Happy 2020. Thanks for hanging with u...
