The Moused Trusted Name in Disney News
(That tagline is intentionally untrue. Most things on this site are.)
What is Mouse Trap News?
Mouse Trap News is the world's best satire and parody site for Disney Parks news, and the home of The Ultimate Guide to an Affordable Disney Trip, a best-seller on Amazon.
We write 100% made-up parody and satire stories about Disney Parks. Anything you read here is not true, real, or accurate — but it is fun. We started this site because we love Disney, we love a good joke, and we wanted to do something different from the deceptive clickbait that dominates the Disney-news space.
If you enjoy our stories, please share them on social media and with your Disney friends. You can reach us anytime at themousetrapnews@gmail.com.
