MouseMingle Never Creates Fake Profiles to Mislead Members

Posted on April 14, 2024October 16, 2025 by DTavresDEV

MouseMingle.com, the Dating Site for Disney Fans stands apart from other sites with real transparency. In the ever-changing landscape of online dating, finding a site that prioritizes people’s passion for what they love, can feel like navigating through the crowd to the Main Entrance, just after the fireworks end. However, amidst the multi-million dollar dating sites like Tinder and Hinge, one place stands firm in its commitment to real people – MouseMingle. Unlike sites who resort to the deceptive tactics of creating imaginary people on their own platform to seduce people into paying outrageous fees to see “new people in your area,” as the premier dating site for Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, and Marvel enthusiasts, MouseMingle.com actively works to rid the site of scammers when they create fake profiles.

Although recent revelations regarding other dating platforms have raised concerns about the the percentage of fake profiles, anyone who has spent time on dating sites already knew there were too many fake profiles. A lawsuit filed recently has just shed light on the issue.

MouseMingle has taken a steadfast stance against the creation of fake profiles. Founded on the principles of honesty and integrity, MouseMingle.com does our best to ensure that every profile on the site is genuine, fostering an environment where users can interact with faith and trust (no pixie-dust required – but it can’t hurt.)

These standards were in place when MouseMingle first launched, and are rooted in a deep appreciation for Disney’s magic and storytelling. From classic fairy tales to beloved characters, Disney classic has captivated the hearts of millions of people around the world. It’s this shared passion that brings real members together on MouseMingle, forming connections based on their love of that Disney magic, and shared values.

Fake profiles have no place on MouseMingle and we’re committed to maintaining the integrity of the site – with the help of members who flag bad users for fraud, language, and spam. The latest lawsuit is a reminder of the risks associated with all online dating, and the importance of choosing a platform that prioritizes transparency. MouseMingle never has, and never will create fake profiles as a way of getting people to upgrade their profiles.

For those who share a love for all things Disney, MouseMingle.com offers a beacon of light and magic in the world of online dating. Many members have met, fallen in love, and have even gotten married and started families – and that makes us happier than going to a Disney Park!

Disney Dating – Finding Love among the Magic

Posted on July 10, 2023 by DTavresDEV

Disney Parks have long been a place where families and couples go to create memories and make their dreams come true. With over 130 million visitors each year, it’s no surprise that the Disney magic can spark some romances.

Disney dating has become so popular that MouseMingle has become the largest Disney dating website in the world, and has brought many Disney fans together to find their happily ever after. Whether it’s through a mutual love of Disney movies, attractions, or just a shared appreciation for the magic, these relationships have a strong foundation that can withstand the test of time.

In addition to matching with other Disney fans on the site, “MouseMingle Meetup” events have brought Disney fans together in person. The hope is that people can break the ice while seeing each other’s sparkling personalities in real life. MouseMingle is the place for Disney fans to connect and build relationships based on their shared love of Disney. With this community of like-minded individuals, it’s easier to find someone who truly understands your passion for Disney and all its magic.

It’s important to remember that finding love in the Disney-world requires the same level of caution and realism as the other boring dating sites. Prioritize your safety and well-being, but approach the experience with an open mind and a willingness to get to know someone before jumping into a relationship or sharing too much personal information.

Disney dating is a growing phenomenon that offers a unique and magical way for Disney fans to connect and find love. Whether it’s MouseMingle meetups, sending winks and messages on the site, or just a shared appreciation for the magic, Disney dating provides an opportunity to build meaningful relationships beyond just the superficial. So why not give it a try and find your Mickey or Minnie?

Beware – Stripe Discriminates Against A Small Business

Posted on April 10, 2023 by DTavresDEV

When looking at online dating sites, few are more wholesome than MouseMingle, the dating site for Disney fans. Oddly, credit card processors like Stripe and PayPal choose to see MouseMingle.com as being no different than Ashley Madison or any other sexually oriented hookup sites.

MouseMingle was happily serving Disney fans for over 5 years when PayPal suddenly terminated our credit card processing account, giving no notice, warning, or reason as to why. After nearly 2 years, the site finally got a software integration working with Stripe.com, another credit card processor designed for online businesses. For 2 months everything worked well, until Stripe notified MouseMingle that the dating site for Disney fans was among the categories of prohibited businesses. However, upon deep study of Stripe‘s website – specifically their prohibited businesses section – MouseMingle clearly does not fit into any of the categories of prohibited businesses in the United States. Stripe‘s public, written policies are clear which businesses they do not allow, including “sexually oriented dating services”, “Extended warranties and subscriptions over one year”, “Sex toys”, and “Unregistered charities” – none of which of MouseMingle fits into – unless the term ‘sexually oriented’ means ‘human.’

In the world of credit card processing, a common term is “high risk business.” Any intelligent person, even outside of the industry, could come up with a list of high risk businesses that could adversely affect a credit card processor. Those businesses might include selling scam lottery tickets, porn sites, weapon sales, auction websites, weight loss scams, or online gambling. But even an idiot can see the difference between Disney dating and porn.

MouseMingle is a small, niche dating site created by a former Disneyland Tour Guide and locomotive engineer. He created the site because none of the big corporate dating sites had a focus for people who love the happy and fun niche. “It’s heartbreaking that MouseMingle might die simply because these credit card companies won’t pick up the phone to help solve the problem.” says MouseMingle founder, Dave Tavres. Many couples have met on the site, gotten married, had children together, and have been happily dating because they found someone who loves what they love – Disney.

After repeated requests to Stripe, they refuse to give any reason or information as to why they have chosen to hurt the small business. Every request has returned a canned response of exactly the same text:

“Unfortunately, following an additional review of your account, we’re still unable to support your business as it falls under one of our restricted businesses categories.”
https://stripe.com/restricted-businesses

…yet they will never say which category they are putting MouseMingle in – or literally give any other reason or response. And so, MouseMingle was nearly forced to shut down because a service company refuses to have a conversation with their customer.

$5.55 a month forever

Posted on January 23, 2023 by DTavresDEV

The truth is, we DON’T want you to be on MouseMingle forever – we want you to find your Mickey or Minnie… but, for a limited time, when you upgrade your MouseMingle membership, you’ll get it for $5.55 per month *forever.

MouseMingle started in December 2015 and worked well for many years, but in 2021 PayPal almost succeeded in killing the site, so we made the site free until we could resolve the payment issue. Now that we’ve got that solved, it’s time to re-focus on keeping MouseMingle safe from scammers, and to grow the site. Click here to read more about that.

(*that is, until you cancel your membership. If you upgrade again after that, it will be at the regular price.)

Keeping MouseMingle Safe

Posted on January 18, 2023 by DTavresDEV

To all who are fans or who have used MouseMingle – thank you! And more importantly, thank you for your patience. After PayPal tried to kill MouseMingle in 2021 we made the site free for everyone, and we’ve had a rough go of making payments on the site work as they should. After several failed attempts at getting the code to work with a trusted payment processor, we finally found the right solution and paid memberships are working again.

Why are paid memberships so important?

There are two good reasons for paid memberships on MouseMingle.com: The first reason, which is probably the most important, is that paywalls (memberships) stop the vast majority of scammers who prey on good people who are looking for their Mickey or Minnie. Scammers will almost never pay for a membership just to try to scam other people – so requiring a payment makes the site safer. The second should be obvious – it costs money to host, manage, and further develop the website, and to generally run the business.

We’re REALLY excited to have gotten this solution in place, and we’re rededicating ourselves to making MouseMingle better in the coming year.

One area we’re going to focus on is the mobile experience. Early on, we spent many months trying to get a mobile app working. It was frustrating that Apple kept refusing our simple iOS app, and we finally decided to quit wasting time and money. Over the next many months, we’re going to work on making the mobile web experience what it should be, so that it works on all mobile platforms. That said, it will still take some time, as there’s been no revenue coming in to pay for that work. So again, we’re asking for your patience. MouseMingle will get better – we want to make it easier for Disney fans to make new friends, or to find the love of their life.

MouseMingle exists because we all want to share our love and our passions with someone who loves Disney as much as we do. The big dating sites have a lot of people – but those sites don’t focus on what’s so dear to our hearts – Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, and Marvel.

If you’ve been away, we look forward to welcoming you back to MouseMingle.com. If you’ve been with us through this tough time, we’re thankful and hope you’ll help spread the word so that everyone can find their Mickey or Minnie.

Founder, MouseMingle

MouseMingle is Free for A Limited Time!

Posted on April 15, 2021 by DTavresDEV

MouseMingle has always been about people, relationships, and magic – but now after 5 years, PayPal suddenly says that MouseMingle “violates” their “acceptable use policy“, and they’ll no longer process payments for us. This is a devastating loss of revenue.

I started MouseMingle in 2015 because I wanted to find my “Minnie” – just as so many people have found their Mickey or Minnie since MouseMingle started. Walt Disney once said, “You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.” Sadly, because of PayPal, we were forced to make a difficult choice. Either shut down MouseMingle.com and be another victim of Big Tech vs. Small Business or, try something different. We decided to try something different – we’re making MouseMingle FREE for all members until we can figure out how to accept payments again.

So, what does this mean for you?

All of the features on MouseMingle are FREE for a limited time.

Meet someone who loves what you love – Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, or Marvel.

Help your Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, and Marvel friends find magic in a new relationship.

Send and read as many messages and winks as you like!

To all who have supported MouseMingle over the years by upgrading your profile – THANK YOU! We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. Please, take this opportunity to tell everyone who loves Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, or Marvel that MouseMingle.com is free for a limited time, and they should setup a profile and start sending messages today!

See ya real soon!

Founder, MouseMingle
