Meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse at Red Carpet Dreams

Mickey and Minnie Mouse meet daily at Red Carpet Dreams at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This dazzling character meet-and-greet sits off Commissary Lane across the walkway from the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant. Minnie Mouse meets guests in her stylish red carpet look, and Mickey Mouse appears as Sorcerer Mickey. Below, we’ll preview photos of this location, what to expect, and their character autographs. Note that Minnie debuted a new look for her 96th birthday, so you might notice a subtle change in her dress when you meet her.

Unfortunately, Mickey and Minnie do not meet as a pair at Red Carpet Dreams. They each meet in separate dressing rooms. The only traditional place to meet the pair as a couple is at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, where they meet at Adventurer’s Outpost.

Wait times are posted near the entrance of Red Carpet Dreams. Once you enter the line, you’ll join the outdoor queue. On this visit, a 45-minute wait time was posted. Since the outdoor portion of the queue is covered, you’re not standing in direct sunlight. However, the partially enclosed area feels stuffy if the weather is hot.

When I entered the line, it was 2:49 p.m., and I walked in for my turn to meet Minnie Mouse at precisely 3:34 p.m., so the posted wait time was pretty accurate.

However, let me share a word of caution. Predicted wait times are not always accurate when meeting characters. Wait times depend on how many guests are ahead of you. They can also vary, given how much time each guest spends with the character.

For instance, you might encounter a family who doesn’t take much time. These people will walk in, say hi, get a photo, maybe an autograph, and move on to something else. On the contrary, a large group might visit with the characters for an extended time. They could break into multiple groups to take photos or spend extra time visiting with the character. Ultimately, everyone gets their turn and can do what they want. So, while it’s necessary to be respectful of others, it’s important to realize ahead of time that some guests will take longer.

Once you reach the interior portion of the queue, you won’t have much longer to wait. Typically, there will only be a couple more guests ahead of you. While you wait, you might notice some of the digital signs. They are similar to the ones in the queue of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. They indicate both character’s films. For instance, Minnie Mouse stars in Hollywood Dreams, and Mickey Mouse appears as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice in The Book of Dreams.

You’ll meet Minnie Mouse first. She is waiting in her dressing room at the end of the hall.

Once you finish meeting Minnie, you’ll walk into another hallway and wait to meet Mickey Mouse. This should not take long. Mickey Mouse meets at Red Carpet Dreams in his sorcerer outfit.

Red Carpet Dreams is usually open daily between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. However, depending on the park’s hours, those times could shift. So check the My Disney Experience app for exact times on the day of your visit. Here’s how.

How to Locate Characters in the My Disney Experience App

Open the MDE app and select the pin drop at the bottom of the home screen.
Select the “Characters” category at the top middle of the screen. (The default is “Wait Times”.)
After selecting characters, use the park filter to select the park on the top left side of the screen.
Then, on the top right side of the screen, select “Show List.”
Scroll through the list of characters with their times and locations.

*As the day passes, you might notice that characters disappear from the app. When their last scheduled time passes, the meet-and-greet automatically disappears. A new schedule won’t be loaded until the following day. It is essential to check the app for meet-and-greets on the day of your visit.

Final Thoughts

For the best time to meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse at Red Carpet Dreams, wait until later in the afternoon. Wait times for character meet-and-greets tend to drop after 4:00 p.m. We have a list of character meet-and-greets at Hollywood Studios with more information, or you might enjoy a few other meet-and-greets:
