Character Spotlight: Minnie Mouse at Walt Disney World

Minnie Mouse is an iconic character. Who doesn’t love her soft giggle? You can’t hear her utter those two endearing words, “Oh, Mickey,” without smiling. Regarding seeing Minnie Mouse at Walt Disney World, you’ll have plenty of options. She appears throughout the parks and resorts with Mickey Mouse and meets independently at multiple locations. In addition to character meetings, Minnie performs in several entertainment offerings and is available at select character dining experiences.

Below, we’ll discuss where you might find her in the parks. Then, we’ll preview a photo gallery with past and present locations. As I mentioned in Mickey’s Character Spotlight, I wish I had more images and a better timeline. But we’ll start with the information I have and go from there.

Related Films: Minnie Mouse’s public debut was in Steamboat Willie in 1928. She’s appeared in countless cartoon series over her career.

Birthday: November 18, 1928
