This week inside the Big Mouse House, it’s a mix of heartfelt Disney discussion and complete family chaos… exactly the way we like it.

Jaimie and Sam kick off the episode by diving into recent comments from legendary Disney Imagineer Tony Baxter about the future of Disney attractions and whether modern rides are beginning to lose the storytelling magic that made classic Disney attractions so special. From immersive experiences to thrill-focused attractions, we explore what makes a Disney ride truly memorable — and whether Disney is changing what “magic” means for future generations.

Then the energy shifts completely as Jackson officially enters the Big Mouse House for a hilarious second half filled with games, debates, and some truly questionable ride rankings.

We break down Jackson’s Top 10 Disney rides (which may go down as one of the most chaotic lists in podcast history), before battling it out in a Pixar-themed edition of our “Name It” games, where the competition gets surprisingly intense.

Heart, humor, nostalgia, debates, and plenty of Disney fun — this episode has a little bit of everything that makes the Big Mouse House what it is.

Whether you’re a lifelong Disney fan or just love hanging out with our family each week, we’re glad you’re here.
