MiceCast #326 - Catching Up with the Meandering Mouse, Jeff from the Meandering Mouse joins MiceCast to revisit the early days of Disney podcasting. For the Halloween season we also include a ghost story from the Golden Horseshoe. The old 2006 clip still hits different, and the hosts don't hold back on how the parks have changed since then. 108 Minutes. Both audio and video versions have been posted.

MiceCast #325 - Matterhorn Madness, From the original post that started the chatter, to the ridiculous comments about the mountain sinking, the track never being replaced, and the submarine lagoon somehow holding the whole thing up with water weight, your hosts walk through the real-world reasons none of this adds up. An $800 million price tag for a rebuild (roughly the cost of an entire land like Galaxy’s Edge) and a former WDI engineering executive calling it zero economic or logical sense put the whole thing to rest. 56 Minutes. Both audio and video versions have been posted. Got to youtube.com/@micecast and subscribe.
MiceCast #324 - A Deeper Devotion at Disneyland, Disneyland guests treat the original attractions like sacred cows. Magic Kingdom guests? Not so much.
The hosts dig into why Imagineering and corporate protect the Anaheim originals while Florida gets the rethemes, losses, and “improvements.” 60 Minutes. Both audio and video versions have been posted. Got to youtube.com/@micecast and subscribe.
MiceCast #323 - Walt’s Wrecking Ball, Disneyland isn’t a museum. Walt said it would never be complete. So did he actually demolish attractions that were still drawing guests? A 1956 Disneyland Incorporated guidebook is the map. Phantom Boats didn’t work. Tomorrowland’s early exhibits left for the new Tomorrowland, and the buildings mostly stayed. Fantasyland held. Pack mules were an operations problem, not a hit Walt killed. Jungle Cruise stayed. When Small World came home from the World’s Fair, he built past the berm instead of clearing a favorite. Greg walks the 1956 guidebook land by land. The verdict: he only cut the crap. 51 Minutes. Both audio and video versions have been posted. Got to youtube.com/@micecast and subscribe.
I am wondering if anyone can guess what year this picture is from and when was the last time this area was decorated for a holiday.
MiceCast #322 - Scooter Scourge, A rented scooter is not a FastPass and it is not a DAS pass. Your host's take on the Instagram scooter gangs, the back door, and the Knott’s paper clock Disney should steal. Able-bodied guests are filming themselves circling the park on ECVs. Invisible disabilities are real. So is the “usual suspects” act: weave, honk, demand the exit, and treat $60 like a line skip. Your hosts lived the wheelchair version of this years ago. Their verdict is not “ban the scooter.” It is bounce the performers and enforce the rules Disney already printed. 37 Minutes. Both audio and video versions have been posted.

MiceCast #321 - The Successful TikTokker and the Old Podcasters, The People Mover track is gone. Walt’s apartment lamp was not a sacred light from 1966. Sometimes Castles’ Ry sits with Greg, Mike, and Shaft to kill folklore, walk the trestle, and comment about Iger. Ry (@SometimesCastles) wrote I Love Disneyland and lives in the TikTok/Instagram news cycle. The old podcasters worked the graveyard shift, held the key to Walt’s apartment, and walked Tomorrowland end to end. This is what happens when those two rooms talk. Recorded inside Disneyland for the best ambiance. 77 Minutes. Both audio and video versions have been posted. Go to youtube.com/@micecast and subscribe.

MiceCast #320 - D'Amaro's Decisions: a Six Month Check Up, Josh D'Amaro is six months into the CEO chair. He cut marketing, he cut creatives, he brought back "ladies and gentlemen," and the stock is sitting flat. Your hosts give the parks guy running the whole company a checkup. They do not pretend film is carrying anything. 38 Minutes. Both audio and video versions have been posted. Got to youtube.com/@micecast and subscribe.
