Mickey Mouse Disco is an album released by Disneyland Records in 1979, produced by Jymn Magon. A late entry in the genre of disco, Mickey Mouse Disco includes 1970s-style disco-fied versions of Disney classics, and Disney-fied versions of disco classics.
It was re-released on CD in 1995, and is also available for download from iTunes. At the 2019 D23 expo, it was re-released on vinyl record for its 40th anniversary.
The album received two sequels, with the 1982 aerobic dance-themed album Mousercise and the 1983 80s-style pop-music album Mickey Mouse Splashdance, both also co-produced by Magon.

Trivia[]
- In the Mickey Mouse Works short "Mickey's April Fools", Mickey imitates his dance move from the album cover, along with some of his other past roles, to prove to a lawyer (actually a disguised Mortimer Mouse) that he is the real Mickey Mouse. Mortimer also did his version of the dance in an attempt to show the "real" lawyer (actually a disguised Minnie Mouse) that he's Mickey.
- This album's version of "It's a Small World" was sampled by Fatboy Slim in his song "Praise You."[1]
- At one point in the queue for the Disneyland version of Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, this album and that of Mousercise are on display while select songs from both albums play.
