MouseKast

Those who have visited the Magic Kingdom lately may have noticed several spaces that are practically unused -- prime real estate that could be put to better use. On this episode of MouseKast, we'll talk about those spaces and share our thoughts about how those spaces could be better used.

It's a special Halloween edition of Game Night on MouseKast! Test your trivia knowledge of The Nightmare Before Christmas, Disney Halloween shorts, The Haunted Mansion, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and more!

Welcome to MouseKast! On this episode we're starting a new recurring topic - Matt's Musings. Matt throws out different ideas and "what ifs" for discussion. On this episode, we muse about using Disney music at weddings, make some changes to the Magic Kingdom, prognosticate about Villains Land, share our favorite Disney Parks memories and more!

We're back with our monthly Open Mic Night! On this episode of MouseKast, the live viewers join Chuck, Matt, Hawk and Meaghan to talk about several topics including recent Disney announcements about the new Zootopia show opening at Disney's Animal Kingdom, changes to Rock N Roller Coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios and changes to Frozen Ever After at Epcot. The conversation then turns to recent price increases and concludes with some discussion about accessiblity in the parks. The viewers take charge on the conversation on MouseKast!

In the wake of recent events at Universal's Epic Universe — including the tragic incident on the Stardust Racers ride — MouseKast dives deep into the evolving landscape of theme park culture. As parks grapple with rising guest expectations and the pressures of delivering immersive experiences, we explore:

1. The etiquette of being a respectful guest
2. The responsibilities of park staff and management
3. The balance between thrill and safety
4. The impact of entitlement culture on theme park operations
5. How kindness and empathy can bridge the gap between patrons and employees

Join us for a thoughtful conversation on how theme parks can move forward — with compassion, accountability, and a shared commitment to joy.

Welcome to another game night on MouseKast! For this month's game night, we're challenging you to identify where you've heard each of our sound clips! It could be from an attraction, show, restaurant, experience -- anywhere at Walt Disney World. Get your ears on - it's an audio game night on MouseKast!

On last week's show (episode 90), we talked about the potential for updates Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party with the upcoming creation of Villains Land at the Magic Kingdom. On this week's episode of MouseKast, we wanted to extend this discussion to all the other Disney parks -- as well as Islands of Adventure and Epic Universe -- and how these parks and resorts could "plus up" their Halloween/Fall decor, dining and more... We're enhancing the spirit of the spooky season on MouseKast!

Boo to you! Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) debuted at The Magic Kingdom for the 1995 Halloween season. Over the years, there have been some changes and updates, but it's been quite a while since this event has seen any significant updates. On this episode of MouseKast, Matt, Meaghan, Hawk and Chuck borrow Madame Leota's crystal ball and peer into the future to see what impact the upcoming addition of Villains Land at the Magic Kingdom might have on MNSSHP and what changes Disney could implement now even before Villains Land opens.

We're back with another open mic night as the live viewers determine the topics. On this episode, Chuck, Meaghan, Matt and Hawk talk about the recent opening of two lounges at Walt Disney World, the impacts of Epic Universe on annual passes at Universal Studios Orlando and a general discussion about when to consider an annual pass for Universal or Disney. We then jump into the past to talk about past perks, attractions and more!

Over Labor Day weekend 2025, Disney made a few announcements at Destination D23... including some changes at the Carousel of Progress, TRON Lightcycle Run, and Cinderella Castle. On this episode of MouseKast, we'll review these announcements and share our thoughts on a recent Disney Parks Blog post about they say are the best times to visit Walt Disney World.
