Mousetalgia! - Your Disneyland Podcast

This week, Team Mousetalgia takes you from Anaheim to Los Angeles and even a galaxy far, far away. First, Jeff reports on the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art's Founding Members Opening Party, and takes you on a tour of California's newest museum and its unusual mission to let art speak for itself. Frida! Banksy! Renoir! Rockwell! And - yes, Star Wars. We review the bumpy event, and offer tips, hints, and a sneak preview of the museum's collection. Next, the team shares our favorite moments from the variety of panels we attended at this year's D23 Ultimate Fan Event, and we share fun insights and moments from celebrities like Susan Egan, Ke Huy Quan, and Amy Adams. Plus - Earle at the Walt Disney Family Museum, pressed pennies, pickle corn dogs, and Rogen's Figment.

This week on the Mousetalgia Pal Around, we discuss The D23 Ultimate Disney Fan Event held at the Anaheim Convention Center Aug. 14-16, 2026. On this episode dealing specifically with the convention center's show floor, we discuss the various pavilions, the sponsored businesses, the variety of activations on the floor and our personal highlights. Relive all the splattery 4-D, condimental and theatrical goodness with us! Plus - the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art's opening nears; eating on widened railings in the Disney Parks; the demise of Play Disney Parks; and, of course, more news from Bath & Body Works. 

On this week's potpourri show, Jeff discusses the latest woes of the Disney resorts, including no water for Disneyland and Wilderness Lodge - and no AC at Wilderness Lodge in the middle of the summer... ugh. On a brighter note, Julia and Tina return to the show to discuss recent Walt Disney Family Museum talks, including a look behind the scenes at creating foley sound effects for films and the development of the Cars brand for Pixar. Plus - being held prisoner in a Disney resort bathroom... and more.

This week, Mousetalgia welcomes Dave back to the show as the host of the Mousetalgia Pal Around, a new (but VERY familiar) addition to the Mousetalgia show. Dave, Julia and Tina will host this regularly recurring episode of Mousetalgia as we launch a revised, regular schedule to give you a reliable source of news, reviews and Disney conversation. This week, we discuss our hopes, fears, dreams and expectations for D23, Disney's major convention which is less than 2 weeks away! We talk about preparation, our experiences registering, and announce a meet up for those in the know (that's you!) Plus - reviews of Beauty and the Beast on tour, Hillary Duff on tour, and Disney+'s "Descendants: Wicked Wonderland."

Happy birthday Disneyland! This week, Jeff welcomes special guest Kristen Carr to the show, and we talk about her latest happening, an advance screening of Moana with a special guest from the movie! Carr talks about her history hosting special screenings, behind the scenes stories, and then we review the film - the latest in Disney's string of live-action versions of classic animated features. Is a decade a long enough span between the animated film and its remake? Then, with Comic-Con and D23 nipping at our heels, we discuss the upcoming convention season, and offer our tips, tricks, and expectations. Plus - Disneyland is now 71, and we offer some of our most striking memories of times spent in the park. Find Kristen at https://www.instagram.com/thehappiestclubonearth Contact us: [email protected]
