The Disney favorites from the Mouse Extra staff
As this site continues to grow in readership, I thought you might be interested in learning something about the three of us who contribute to Mouse Extra. At first, I was contemplating adding a more in-depth biography of each of us to the “About Us” section, but a better idea came to mind. Instead of the typical bio, I thought I would give the two contributing writers a short survey to fill out about their favorite aspects of the Mouse. Of course, I couldn’t resist the temptation myself. I hope the answers here serve as a conversation starter for you, and maybe learn a bit more about us.
I’ll start with the contributing writers, Mike and Brooke. Besides simply needing help to keep up with all the information we want to have here, these two bring their own unique views of what they like and don’t like. Also, they are both parents of small children, and not having any children myself, I thought it of the utmost importance to get the perspectives of them and their kids for all to read.

The one thing that stood out in my mind was that both Brooke and I picked Robin Hood as our favorite classic film. I thought I was the only one who that so highly of that film.
Mike, any chance we can post an mp3 file of your daughter singing a Whole New World? I mean, people just won’t understand unless they hear it!!

Based on this little survey, I can safely say I could definitley hang out with Dave, would avoid Brooke like the plague (Dinosaur? Too scary) and wouldn’t run into Mike because he spends too much time in the Animal Kingdom area.
