Written by Greg Gately

House of Mouse Expo 2026 Returns to Disney Springs Area with a Dream Guest Lineup. The House of Mouse Expo is coming back July 31 through August 2, 2026, at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort near Disney Springs, and this year’s guest lineup is one of the strongest the event has ever put together. From the current voice of Minnie Mouse to Muppets royalty to Star Wars performers, there is something for nearly every kind of Disney and pop culture fan at this year’s event.

We were part of the House of Mouse Expo community back in 2024, and we will be on hand again this year. If you’re planning to attend, keep an eye out for us.

The Disney Fan Convention Near Walt Disney World Just Got a Dream Guest List

The House of Mouse Expo was created by the team behind The Main Street Mouse, Scott & Michele Atwood, and has grown steadily into one of the most fan-focused Disney events of the year. The Wyndham Lake Buena Vista sits right within the Walt Disney World Resort area and directly across from Disney Springs, which means the magic extends well beyond the convention floor. Tickets are available now at HouseOfMouseExpo.com, and celebrity guest experiences can sell out, so early purchasing is strongly encouraged.

Here is every guest announced for House of Mouse Expo 2026.

Kaitlyn Robrock, the Current Voice of Minnie Mouse

Kaitlyn Robrock the Current Voice of Minnie Mouse

Kaitlyn Robrock became the official voice of Minnie Mouse in 2019 after the passing of longtime voice actress Russi Taylor, and she has carried that legacy forward across projects including The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse, Minnie’s Bow-Toons, and Mickey and Minnie Wish Upon a Christmas. Before stepping into one of the most iconic roles in animation, Robrock built a diverse voice acting career with credits in Aggretsuko, ThunderCats Roar, and additional voices in Frozen II. She also has a deep personal connection to Disney, having worked at the Disneyland Resort and contributed voice work heard in Disney parks around the world.

Steve Whitmire, the Voice and Performer of Kermit the Frog

Steve Whitmire is a legend in the world of puppetry. Following the passing of Jim Henson, Whitmire took on the responsibility of performing Kermit the Frog and helped carry forward one of the most beloved characters in entertainment history. His decades of work through The Jim Henson Company also includes fan-favorite characters Rizzo the Rat and Bean Bunny. Getting the chance to meet someone who literally kept Kermit alive for a generation of fans is something rare, and House of Mouse Expo is making that possible this summer.

This event will be a genuine treat for fans who grew up with Bear.

Emily Swallow, The Armorer from The Mandalorian

Swallow’s screen work also includes a memorable run as Amara, also known as The Darkness, on Supernatural, along with appearances in The Mentalist, NCIS, Castle, The Good Wife, and How to Get Away with Murder. Star Wars fans attending House of Mouse Expo will not want to miss her panels.

Chris Bartlett is another Mandalorian connection at this year’s event. Bartlett is known for portraying the fan-favorite droid Q9-0, also known as Zero, the bounty hunter droid featured in the show’s first season. His background in puppetry, physical acting, and creature performance has made him a valuable part of productions that rely on practical effects and character work inside the Star Wars universe. His behind-the-scenes stories from set are a big part of why fans love meeting him at conventions.

He is known for his genuine enthusiasm for fans at conventions and brings real energy to panels and meet-and-greets.

Her dynamic personality and musical talent have made her one of the most popular convention guests in the animation community.

O’Hurley also voiced King Neptune in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and has hosted multiple seasons of Family Feud. He is a multi-talented performer with a career worth celebrating.

Jenna von Oy is beloved by fans of the 1990s for her breakout role as Six LeMeure on the NBC sitcom Blossom and later as Stevie Van Lowe on The Parkers. Disney fans have a very specific reason to be excited: von Oy voiced Stacey in A Goofy Movie, the 1995 animated film that has grown into a genuine cult classic over the decades. Beyond acting, von Oy is an accomplished author and producer, currently working on Pull Up a Chair, a chef-driven series highlighting MICHELIN-recognized chefs across the American South, and The Cassandra Project, a film trilogy making its way through the festival circuit.

His voice work also includes Mega Man in Secret Level, Gumball Watterson in The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball on Hulu, and Janner Wingfeather in The Wingfeather Saga. Thiele brings a lot of range for someone still early in his career, and fans of both the Disney Channel and Marvel animation will want to catch him at this event.

The Lawrence Brothers: Joey, Matthew, and Andrew

Joey, Matthew, and Andrew Lawrence will all three be at House of Mouse Expo 2026, which is a genuinely rare opportunity for fans who grew up watching them. Joey Lawrence is best known for Blossom and starred alongside Andrew in the Disney Channel Original Movies Horse Sense and Jumping Ship. Matthew Lawrence brought his character Jack Hunter to life in Boy Meets World and appeared in Mrs. Doubtfire. Andrew Lawrence, in addition to the Disney Channel films, voiced T.J. Detweiler in Disney’s animated series Recess, a staple of One Saturday Morning programming that holds up beautifully. Having all three brothers together at a Disney fan event is a special thing.

Our Take

House of Mouse Expo keeps raising the bar, and this year’s lineup reflects how much the event has grown. What stands out about this guest list is the range: you have the living legacy of the Muppets through Steve Whitmire and Noel MacNeal, the current heartbeat of Disney animation through Kaitlyn Robrock, serious Star Wars depth with Emily Swallow, Chris Bartlett, and Daniel Logan, and a wave of 90s Disney Channel and animation nostalgia through the Lawrence Brothers, Jenna von Oy, and John O’Hurley. Fantasy Land News was proud to be part of this event in 2024, and we are looking forward to being back this summer. Come find us.
