Welcome, Guests, to the Season 5 premiere of The Mouse and Me!

Over the past several years, Scott has spoken with so many incredible current and former Cast Members from all walks of Disney life - entertainment managers, vocalists, actors, dancers, directors, producers, comedians, technicians, an Imagineer, and people who were part of the Disney College Program and Disney Cruise Line performers.

He's also interviewed Disney on Broadway stars, a Tony Award-winner for Best Choreography for Newsies, and musical geniuses who arrange, conduct, and play for the Disney musicals on tour, on Broadway, and around the world.

Every single Guest that's been on the show has shared incredible stories about their journey and careers with the Walt Disney company and this season will be no different and it starts with Laurlyn Smith.

At Walt Disney World, Laurlyn performed mouse height characters - about 35 of them - specializing in Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. She worked daily atmosphere operations, character dining locations, the Welcome Show at Magic Kingdom, and special events like dance parties, pop-ups, weddings, groups, private meet and greets, and concerts.

If you’re someone who likes going behind the scenes and knowing how things work, then you’re absolutely going to love this episode. If you’re someone who doesn’t like having the magic of Disney ruined, then you’re absolutely not going to love this episode. ;) Laurlyn really pulls back the curtain and shares how all of the magic happens and what it was like working as an animated character for Disney.

Laurlyn is a super lovely person and we're excited for you to hear her stories!
