Credit: DisneyWhen thinking of relationships and romance, fairy tales, true love’s kiss, and happily ever after often come to mind. Disney is known for its stories of true love and romance, from animated Cinderella and Prince Charming to Princess Leia and Han Solo. While the modern world of dating often relies on dating apps like Tindr, Hinge, and similar sites, there’s a website made specifically by Disney lovers for Disney lovers called MouseMingle.
Yes, you read that right. Disney fans have their own dating app to help them find their true love. Advertised as “the dating site for Disney fans,” MouseMingle is similar to traditional internet dating sites with its focus on photos and profiles to help draw people together. Let’s get into it.
What is MouseMingle?
MouseMingle is an online dating site and app for the ultimate Disney fan looking to find a fellow Disney lover. Users can bond over their love of the Disney Parks, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, their favorite Disney movie or favorite character, and more.
The site itself is simple enough in design but unfortunately requires users to pay a monthly membership in order to use it. Registration is fairly simple, only requiring a username and gender specification to sign up. Once an account is created, users can then expand their profile by answering a variety of questions and uploading photos. In order to message or interact with other people, users must pay a monthly subscription fee.
Questions asked of new users include things like determining the type of Annual Pass they have, how often they go to the Disney Parks, favorite attractions or areas in the Parks, favorite Disney songs, and more.
When and why was it created?
MouseMingle was created in 2015 by Disney fan David Tavres in order to help single Disney fans connect with each other and share their passion and love for the company and Parks. Users also include Disney Cast Members, so it’s truly a place for everyone to connect. While people are able to message and get to know each other on the site, many often choose to meet up at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, or another Disney Park for a first date or even proposal spot.
With so many Disney fans getting backlash and the term “Disney adult” gaining a negative connotation, MouseMingle is helping people form connections, relationships, and even friendships with people who love Disney as much as they do without any negativity or fear of mockery.
The site also doesn’t come with the “hook up” culture connotation of apps like Tindr or Hinge, and prides itself on being a site for long-lasting, meaningful relationships to form. While finding true love is the primary focus of the site, it’s also utilized to help Disney fans find friends and Park-going buddies.
The platform hosts thousands of subscribers and has received recognition on the Conan O’Brien Show, The View, and Saturday Night Live. Tavres has also received personal recognition from The Walt Disney Company, but was also asked to remind user that it is unaffiliated with the Company itself.
MouseMingle claims it has been pretty successful with matching Disney lovers to each other, and with such a niche dating site, it’s not hard to believe. It’s been responsible for several weddings so far, and has helped hundreds of others form a variety of friendships and relationships with their love of Disney at the forefront.
