providing the opportunity to get to know the corporate symbol on a more personal level.
Mickey's House is well conceived and contains a lot of Disney memorabilia. You will no-
tice that children touch everything as they proceed through the house, hoping to find some
artifact that is not welded or riveted into the set (an especially tenacious child during one
of our visits was actually able to rip a couple of books from a bookcase).
Meeting Mickey and touring his house are best done during the first two hours the
park is open or, alternatively, in the evening during
Fantasmic!
If meeting Mickey is at
the top of your child's list, you might consider taking the Disneyland Railroad from Main
Street to the Toontown/Fantasyland Station as soon as you enter the park. Some children
are so obsessed with seeing Mickey that they cannot enjoy anything else until they get
Mickey in the rearview mirror.

DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS
Minnie's House consists of a self-guided tour through
the various rooms and backyard of Mickey Mouse's main squeeze. Similar to Mickey's
House, only predictably more feminine, Minnie's House likewise showcases some fun
Disney memorabilia. Among the highlights of the short tour are the fanciful appliances in
Minnie's kitchen. Like Mickey, Minnie is usually present to receive guests.
TOURING TIPS
The main difference between Mickey's House and Minnie's House is that
Minnie's House cannot accommodate as many guests. See Minnie early and before
Mickey to avoid waiting outdoors in a long queue. (Neither Mickey nor Minnie is avail-
able during parades.)
Miss Daisy,
Donald's Boat
What it is
Creative play area with a boat theme.
Scope and scale
Diversion.
When to go
Be-
fore 10:30 a.m. or after 4:30 p.m.
DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS
Another children's play area, this time with a tugboat
theme. Children can climb nets, ring bells, survey Toontown from the captain's bridge,
and scoot down slides. The idea is that Donald Duck (who, as everyone knows, lives in
Duckburg) is visiting Toontown.
