Go Behind the Magic with Bret Iwan!
October 23, 2025
You know Bret Iwan as the official voice of Mickey Mouse, but before we set sail, we wanted to get to know the man behind the mouse.
We caught up with Bret to talk about his incredible career and what he’s most excited about for Comic-Con: The Cruise.
You’ve been the official voice of Mickey Mouse for years—what would he say about meeting his fans on Comic-Con: The Cruise?
Mickey always loves meeting his fans, and is a big fan of adventure, so this event would be right up his alley! I imagine he’d say “Hot Dog! This adventure is gonna be great, and I can’t wait to spend time with all my pals!”
If you could voice any other animated character, who would it be and why?
I have so much respect for all my fellow voice actors, I don’t think I can think of any character that already exists…but if there was ever an opportunity to voice a character in the Star Wars universe, I would geek out beyond belief!
You’re a cruise veteran, what would you say are the most important things for first timers to pack?
Sunscreen, flip flops, and a day bag! It’s hard not to spend a ton of time up on deck, out in the sun, and when getting off the ship in Nassau, a day bag is a must for your travel docs and any fun souvenirs you find along the way.
What are you most looking forward to on Comic-Con: The Cruise?
So much of voice over is behind the scenes, so anytime I get the chance to interact with fans, and share in our love of Mickey, Disney, or Fan Culture in general…well, there’s nothing like that!
Which popular arts franchises are you looking forward to celebrating with fans when we sail?
It’s hard to pick just one! I’m a fan of everything from animation to epic block busters! Harry Potter to Star Wars, Marvel to Superman…if it celebrates creativity and imagination, I’m in!
