Mouse Ears Podcast

What started as a group of Disney and theme park fans who barely knew each other has grown into something truly special — a family. Over the past 100 episodes of the Mouse Ears Podcast, we’ve laughed together, learned together, and shared our love for Disney, Universal Studios, cruise lines, travel, and all things in between... but mostly Disney. In this milestone retrospective, we’re taking a look back at the moments that made us. From our favorite episodes, behind-the-scenes stories, magical vacations, and the connections that turned this into more than just a podcast. Whether you’ve been here from day one or joined us along the way, we’re incredibly grateful you’ve been part of this adventure. This episode is for you, our Mouse Ears Universe — a time to reflect, to celebrate, and to say thank you… from our podcast family to yours. So put on your mouse ears and join us as we look back on 100 episodes of Disney magic, theme park fandom, and a little bit of pixie dust.
