Ultimate Character Checklist: 8 Best Places to Meet Mickey Mouse at Disney World

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E… Mickey Mouse! Go ahead, sing along! Mickey Mouse may have made his first appearance to the world back in 1928, but even in 2024, he is still one of the most popular animated characters and the top Disneyland and Disney World mascot in the world! So, it’s no wonder that when Disney guests make their way to Disney World, they want nothing more than to seek out Mickey, get an autograph, and take a photo with the loveable mouse. Now that hugs and autographs are back, more people than ever want to meet the Big Cheese himself.

We’ve gathered a list of what we feel are the eight best places to meet the famous Mickey Mouse. Between Meet and Greets and Character Dining experiences, it’s easy to plan for at least one (if not more) of these opportunities to meet Mickey! As you’ll see below, Mickey has a pretty cool and diverse wardrobe that he likes to show off. Which outfit is your favorite? We hope this helps you to plan accordingly so you’ll get a photo of your dreams with Mickey.

While you strive to give you the most up-to-date information, please check the My Disney Experience app, as Mickey is a popular mouse, and his schedule (and his pals’ schedules) may change!
