It’s all about the Magic!
Established in 2011, the goal of the club is to bring together Villagers who LOVE Disney and want to share their enthusiasm for the MAGIC of Disney with others. We meet to share tips & ideas, as well as have guest speakers from Disney to share even more Disney knowledge, but also...just to have FUN!

The first meeting of the Mickey’s Fanatics Bowlers took place on June 3rd 2025 at Fiesta Lanes.
Before we bowled for a fun 2 hours, Debbie explained the format and the rules for the upcoming summer league. It will be a 9 pin no tap league, meaning get 9 pins down on the first ball it counts as a strike !
The first over 200 game was bowled by Yvonne Weber, 203 !
It was a fun afternoon and all of us look forward to Bowling Tuesday’s for the rest of the summer !
