Hi Alec,
Thanks for visiting planDisney! First of all—congratulations on your upcoming proposal! Asking the love of your life to marry you is a moment you’ll remember forever, and I can’t imagine a more enchanting place to begin your happily ever after than at the Happiest Place on Earth.
I’m thrilled to let you know that yes—you can propose while taking a photo with none other than Mickey Mouse himself! To find our favorite leading mouse, open the Disneyland app and tap the map icon. Then scroll across the top menu and select “Characters.” I also recommend switching to list view (near the bottom right of the screen) to easily spot all the character appearances that day.
Mickey often greets guests in Town Square on
Main Street, U.S.A., or inside his
Toontown home. If you're dreaming of a more private setting, Mickey’s house is a great option. The meet-and-greet there is typically more intimate—just your party and a Cast Member—making it a perfect place to drop down on one knee. If you're hoping for a big, showstopping moment, the Main Street location might be ideal, with guests nearby who will cheer you on as you pop the question!
Extra tip: Ask a Cast Member or
Disney PhotoPass photographer to help capture the magic. Many are more than happy to assist with proposal moments—and some may even sprinkle in a little extra pixie dust to make the memory unforgettable.
Once you've heard that magical "yes!", head over to City Hall on Main Street to pick up your “Happily Ever After” buttons—a sweet way to celebrate your engagement all around the parks! And don’t be surprised if Cast Members or fellow guests offer congratulations throughout the day. It’s one of those moments that makes the parks feel even more magical.
You may even want to start dreaming about your fairy-tale wedding at the Disneyland Resort.
Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings can turn your engagement into the beginning of a storybook celebration!
Alec, I hope this helps make your proposal planning just a little more magical. If you have any more questions or need help with anything, feel free to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We're always here to sprinkle a little extra pixie dust on your love story.
Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, and magic!
