The nostalgia is strong with the festive news today… Disney Mouseketeers have reunited to release a Christmas album! Former cast members from all seven seasons of Disney’s “All-New Mickey Mouse Club”, which aired on the Disney Channel from 1989–1994, have joined forces once again to bring some cheer and support a few good causes with the joyful LP, Why? Because It’s Christmas.
The MMC’89 Mouseketeers, including Dale Godboldo, Nikki DeLoach, Tony Lucca, Nita Young, Jennifer McGill, Rhona Bennett, Mylin, and TJ Fantini, partnered with MusiCares® (assisting those who work in the music industry during difficult times) and The Brave of Heart Fund (offering financial support to families of healthcare workers) to create the LP, which was recorded amid the pandemic and will benefit those severely affected.
Several Mouseketeers will also volunteer in support of the Cast Member Pantry‘s efforts in Florida and California, an organization that helps fellow Disney Cast Members in time of need.
