  We answer a question of Krueger by obtaining disjoint stationary sequences on
successive cardinals. The main idea is an alternative presentation of a mixed
support iteration, using it even more explicitly as a variant of Mitchell
forcing. We also use a Mahlo cardinal to obtain a model in which $\aleph_2
\notin I[\aleph_2]$ and there is no disjoint stationary sequence on $\aleph_2$,
answering a question of Gilton.
