What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I started listening to the show when it first started. Top notch knowledge that I trust. I even enjoy listening to the old shows as well to hear how much Disney has changed. If you’re a Disney or universal fan highly recommend. I do miss some of the other hosts. Steve cracks me up.

horsewhisp2 · Mar 2025

I’ve been a MouseChat listener for over 7 years and have enjoyed this podcast. Over time, I have noticed an increase in negativity and slightly incorrect information-especially when it comes to Genie+. I’m a huge Disney fan and can’t make it down there all that much, so I’ve loved listening to podcasts to “fill the void.” While I appreciate all opinions and want to hear pros/cons, there are some episodes that are very negative, which can be off-putting. I love the banter between the hosts. Sharpie is an absolute wealth of knowledge and I really enjoy his perspectives. It’s definitely worth listening to, but some episodes may be better than others and you may want to do a bit more research prior to your trip.

HMCL123 · Jul 2023

Appreciate that these frequent Disney goers give honest and helpful insights, and make it fun. After listening to the podcast I turned to fellow Jersey girl Lauren to plan our first trip to Disney, which was flawless and smooth. Now that we’re looking to go to WDW again I’m listening to Mouse Chat regularly—the podcast gets us excited for our trip. Love Steve’s throwback stories from when he was a cast member and Sharpie, your puns always make me laugh. Keep up the great work!

gigi is awsom yay · Feb 2022

The CAST makes this podcast so great! I have listened every week for years. They consistently make me laugh and I get my Disney fix. Plus, I once got to work with Lauren to plan a Disney trip. These folks are experts. Love Sharpie puns, Lisa’s “practically perfect in every way” way of talking about Disney vacations and Steve surprises with his honest assessment of All things Disney.

Rebecca A in MS · Aug 2021

Idk why I still listen. They don’t even listen to each other and repeat themselves constantly even within 30 seconds. At least once an episode someone gets called on to talk about a topic and say “I don’t know”…but isn’t that the whole job to know and inform us? Maybe it used to be good but they have lost enthusiasm, have no structure, and it’s not informative or fun. There’s so many other Disney podcasts that are more fun to listen to and have more information for fans or trip planning.
