Hi Kris! Thanks for visiting planDisney.
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse are beloved Characters you can find at Disneyland Resort, greeting Guests at the Happiest Place on Earth! My children always want to make plans to see their favorite mouse when visiting, and while we love staying at one of the
Disneyland Resort Hotels, a visit from Mickey or Minnie in our room isn't an amenity. Characters don't visit Guest Rooms. They're much too busy!
However, there are other ways to plan to see your favorite Characters, and I'm happy to walk you through your options. First, you can book a
Character Dining Experience. We have two booked for our upcoming Holidays at the Disneyland Resort visit: It is our preferred way to meet our favorites. There are several dining options in the hotels and Disneyland Park that feature a delicious meal and Character interactions. This is a relaxing way to get a hug or a high five from the Characters at your table while you rest your feet during a long day.
To see Mickey Mouse, I suggest trying for a reservation at Storytellers Cafe, where Mickey and his friends interact with Guests at breakfast and brunch. This popular spot is located in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Minnie Mouse can be found in Disneyland Park on Main Street, U.S.A. greeting Guests at breakfast at the iconic Plaza Inn. Be aware that Character Dining Experiences are popular and
reservations can be made typically up to 60 days out, which means availability could be limited and isn't guaranteed. Keep checking if you don't see availability for your park stay. It can change even at the last minute as Guests' plans shift.
If you don't grab a Character Dining Experience reservation, you can still see lots of magical Characters in the parks both at Meet & Greet locations and roaming. Use your
Disneyland mobile app to locate Characters by switching from "Attractions" to "Characters" on the map. This will bring up a series of Mickey Mouse icons. Tap an icon to see who you can expect in that area that day and at what times. These details are subject to change.
I hope this helps!
