Over the decades Disney parks have been featured on film. Whether it is a full featured film like Saving Mr. Banks or an ABC sitcom like Full House, Disney has found a way to bring the excitement of the parks through this form of media.

This idea does a lot for the parks. It brings awareness to the public about all the exciting things that can be experienced at one of the theme parks. It is obviously a great tool for marketing the parks. You cannot help but want to go to a park after watching your favorite sitcom family experience the trip of a lifetime.

The television shows in particular do this really well. When you watch the Johnsons from Blackish go to Walt Disney World where the kids take full advantage of their VIP status makes you want to do the same. Even someone who is never happy like Roseanne can find that happiness when visiting Walt Disney World.

In this episode Rachel and Jeremiah talk about the best and worst of these. They go over some of their favorite moments on film that feature both Disney World and DIsneyland. What worked for them and what was a failure? Come join them in this fun conversation about Disney parks on film.

Blake and JJ are bringing something quite new to the table in this week's episode: a tier list. They've created a tier list of a majority of the most popular shows on Disney+, which include the Emmy-award winning Mandalorian to the most recent MCU show, Ms. Marvel. After talking about some of what they've done Disney lately, they jump into a quick explanation of a tier list, and get to work ranking the Disney+ shows on the tier list. Tier lists are really easy to use, and we'd highly recommend you trying it yourself on the link provided below, and sharing it on Facebook! We love to see other people's rankings and opinions, and how they differ from each other. So go ahead and grab that tier list, and fill it out while you listen!

The taste and sounds of New Orleans fill our bellies and ears this week! The Princess and the Frog is one of our favorite Disney animated movies. Is there a better way to talk about the music, characters, and story that we love than with a hot bowl of gumbo, a mouth watering beignet, or a thirst quenching mint julep? No? We didn't think so either. This episode was an absolute joy to "research" and we hope that it inspires you to watch the movie and enjoy some New Orleans cuisine!

Here are the recipes we used:

• Friends on the Other Side Gumbo (Disney Villains: Devilishly Delicious Cookbook)
• Tiana's Beignets (Feast of Fiction YouTube)
• Disneyland's Mint Julep Recipe (Disney Food Blog)

Over time there have been many leading male characters in Disney animation. Sometimes they play the role of the dashing Prince that saves the day, and other times they serve the role of taking from the rich and giving to the poor.

As time has blossomed the male role has changed. In beauty and the beast the beast himself needed Bell to save him. Robin Hood spent most of his time in the story trying to make the world better, and Peter Pan helped keep everyone young. But what makes a good leading male character?

In this week's episode of Mouse House Weekly Jeremiah and Rachel go back to the brackets to determine who they think is the best male character in Disney animation. Follow along as they go through the task of deciding who they like the best. Be sure to download the bracket and follow along in the fun.

Nighttime festivities are back in full swing and Disneyland feels completely magical again! Darrell and Colby visited Disneyland and California Adventure earlier this month and experienced The Main Street Electrical Parade, Fantasmic!, Disneyland Forever, and World of Color. Each of these shows are truly spectacular and reminded us of what was missing from our last few Disneyland visits.

While we visited the parks, we also tried a few new experiences like Web Slingers, Frontierland Shootin' Exposition, Hyperspace Mountain, and the Blue Bayou restaurant. Despite the large crowds, we had a wonderful experience, and used Genie + to strategically plan out a great trip!
