January 1993 – present
LOCATION
Mickey’s Toontown – Guests looking to visit Minnie can find her home in the center of Mickey’s Toontown. After heading under the bridge and onto the main plaza, turn left and follow the main road. You’ll find Minnie’s House on your right, just before Mickey’s House.
BACKGROUND
Like her friends, Minnie opened her doors to the public when Toontown opened its gates in 1993. Minnie’s House is by far the most feminine building in town, with heart-shaped windows, pink pillars, and a mailbox adorned with a bow. Mickey and Minnie share a walkway between their homes, and the fountain at the end is Minnie’s favorite spot to meet her guests.
EXPERIENCE
Details:
- Single Rider Line – no

The tour of Minnie’s home includes her foyer, kitchen, bedroom, living room, and her scenic backyard. Each room has interactive features, Disney memorabilia, and displays of Minnie’s belongings. At the end of the tour, guests often have the option to meet Minnie and pose for a photo.
MY RATING: ★★★☆☆
Minnie’s House is much smaller than Mickey’s, so it doesn’t have as much to see or do. The home itself is really cute, but space is tight and visitors don’t have much room to explore. The reason to visit is to meet Minnie, and her meet and greet spot is very cute. If you have time and the line isn’t too long, Minnie’s House is definitely worth a visit. But if the park is packed, you might want to skip Minnie’s house and give her a wave as she passes by during the parade.
VISITING TIPS
Crowd levels in Minnie’s house depend entirely on park crowds. Traffic moves very slowly through the home, so if you see lots of people waiting in line, it’ll be a long time before you get to meet Minnie. My advice would be to check the line a few times as you explore Toontown, and if the line never lets up, decide whether or not you’re willing to wait. Personally, I’d rather wait in line for Mickey’s House than Minnie’s, since there’s more to see.
Note: Minnie isn’t home during parades, since she’s off greeting guests with Mickey. While you can still explore her house during these times, you won’t be able to meet your lovely hostess.
TRIVIA
During the holidays, Minnie typically puts up a silver and pink tree in her front yard.
Minnie has her own interactive wishing well in the backyard, with a plaque that reads: “Welcome to my wishing well, A secret wish you now must tell, My reply will echo clear, To all my friends so near and dear!”
