This Saturday, May 17th, all tracks lead to Walt Disney’s boyhood hometown of Marceline, Missouri, where Disney magic meets locomotive love! D23 members who are part of the “All Aboard to Walt Disney’s Marceline” event (and everyone else) visiting Marceline on May 17th are invited by MouseMingle.com – the dating site for Disney fans – to pull into the “Whistle Stop” ‘brake room’ at 113 N. Main Street USA, right across from Marceline City Hall.

Whether you’re a Disney dating hopeful, a D23 member, a Walt Disney fan, or simply a railfan, you’re welcome to take a “brake” at the Whistle Stop. From noon to 6pm guests can relax at the tables and chairs set up in the historic building for this special pop-in event. Guests can enjoy some free snacks, drinks, fresh popcorn, plus a fun photo display and slideshow featuring Walt Disney and his lifelong love of trains.

MouseMingle.com founder Dave Tavres will be “on board” throughout the day to chat with guests. As a former Disneyland Railroad Engineer, history Tour Guide, and host of Walt Disney’s Apartment above the Firehouse on Main Street in Disneyland, Dave brings a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes magic and stories. Visitors can ask questions, share memories, and maybe even hear the inside track on Walt’s train-tastic passions.

“Walt Disney’s imagination was always full steam ahead,” says Tavres. “And Marceline is where so much of that journey started. We wanted to create a space where Disney fans could connect, rest their caboose, and celebrate the legacy Walt left on both the rails and our hearts.”

So, whether you’re traveling solo or coupled like train cars, make sure to whistle your way over to the Whistle Stop, where love, laughter, and locomotives all share the same track. Toot toot! We’ll save you a seat at the station.

Marceline, MO – April 15, 2025 – MouseMingle.com, the dating site for Disney fans, recently rolled out a significant update to the messaging experience for mobile users. The change makes reading and sending messages between members similar to text and instant messaging tools that people are familiar with on their mobile devices. This simple redesign is the most recent change to the service, with more changes planned throughout this year.

MouseMingle launched in December 2015 to an incredible outpouring of interest and passion for all things Disney. During that first week MouseMingle was mentioned on Conan O’Brien, The Tonight Show, The View, NPR, and Saturday Night Live. The service was wonderfully overwhelmed by single Disney fans joining the site to find their Mickey or Minnie. Over the next few years many people found someone who loved Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, and Marvel as much as they did – and many dates, weddings, and MouseMingle babies were born. “Unlike most other interests listed on dating sites, Disney is a lifestyle for some people. The legacy of Disney has been happiness and fun, and the people who love Disney want that same magic in their relationships.” said Dave Tavres, managing director and founder of the site.

One substantially notable difference between MouseMingle and the corporate-owned dating sites out there, is that MouseMingle.com never has and never will create fake profiles to lure and deceive people into subscribing. In fact, any profile that is reported as fake, or that doesn’t adhere to classic “Disney standards” is suspended and removed from the service. Dave said, “I was always frustrated by dating sites when someone seemed interesting, or they showed interest in me, just to figure out it was a profile created by the company to get me to subscribe or keep coming back.” In the online dating industry, it’s a common practice to fabricate profiles and have them flirt as a way to bolster traffic and revenue. MouseMingle will never do that.

After five years of processing subscriptions for MouseMingle, the payment processor we used suddenly and without notice or reason, suspended payments for the dating site, almost killing the entire service. This year we’re looking forward to making the experience better for MouseMinglers. An overall look-and-feel update, as well as adding some new features and tweaks to existing functionality to keep plussing the service for Disney fans who are looking for a Park Pal, friendship, dating, or marriage.

MouseMingle exists to help people who love Disney find someone who loves being happy and having fun!

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!
