About
Welcome, and thanks for stopping by Mouse Extra. I’m Dave and I am the principle writer and editor of this site. We are dedicated to feeding the Disney World addicition daily, ours and yours.
I have been a Disney World fanatic since my early childhood, and over the past 30 years I have been to nearly every attraction, stayed at nearly every resort in Disney World, ate at nearly every restaurant, and drank at nearly every bar. The growth of the Mouse is sometimes hard to keep up with, so there are always exceptions, but please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about planning your trip.
We’re going to fill this site with news and rumors, but also with reviews and opinions of attractions, events, restaurants and resorts, so hopefully you will find our archives useful for helping you make the decisions needed to maximize your trip. But most importantly, we hope you enjoy reading Mouse Extra.
