Hi Linda! Welcome to planDisney! Oh, and congratulations to your cousin and your entire family on the arrival of the new Mouseketeer! We're absolutely thrilled for all of you, and I can only imagine how magical it would be to celebrate this news at
The Most Magical Place on Earth.
While it's not possible to arrange for something like this officially, as Mickey and Minie have a very busy schedule spreading their magic and also want to make sure they can greet all Guests coming to Magic Kingdom, there are a few ways that you can go about this, especially if you are travelling with your cousin and their significant other.
As you may know, you can meet Mickey at the
Town Square Theater in Magic Kingdom Park and Mickey and Minnie separately at
Red Carpet Dreams in Disney's Hollywood Studios. My best suggestion would be to bring a Mickey or Minnie plush toy in a bag and join the queue at your desired location. When it's your turn to meet our favorite Mouse, kindly explain your idea to the Cast Member organizing the meet and greet, and they will do their best to make it a special moment for you. Plus, a Disney PhotoPass photographer will be there to capture the moment, and you and your family can take your photos and videos, too!
You could also consider other gender reveal ideas like pink and blue balloons, "It's a Boy!" or "It's a Girl!" embroidered Mickey Ears, or even pink or blue cotton candy. And hey, the cotton candy option even doubles as a yummy snack after the emotional surprise!
One last idea that might make things easier for you is to book a Character Dining experience with Mickey and Minnie. When you arrive, talk to the Cast Members about your idea. While there are no guarantees, based on my experience, they will do their best to arrange a special moment for you and your family by talking with Mickey and Minnie beforehand.
Another fantastic idea is to book a
Capture Your Moment photo session after the gender reveal as a gift for the parents-to-be. You can choose any theme park, including Magic Kingdom, and have a personalized 20-minute photo session that captures the fun and excitement of this special day with professional photographers and cameras that will make this moment last forever.
I hope you find these suggestions helpful, Linda, and that you can make this magical idea a reality with our pals Mickey and Minnie. I'm sure they would be thrilled to participate in such a special moment! If you have any further questions,
please don't hesitate to ask – it's always a pleasure to help out a friend like you!
Cheers
Nilson
