Where’s Mickey? New Meet & Greet Changes at Disneyland Paris
Heads-up, Disney friends: from 8 September 2025, Meet Mickey at Fantasyland—aka Mickey’s House—is closing for a major pause through early 2026.
But don’t worry, the Mouse isn’t going incognito—just relocating. Here’s your rib-tickled guide on when and where to catch him:

What We Know (and More)
-
Meet Mickey in his house (via Virtual Queue) closes 8 September, with no “reopens” listed until early 2026.
-
Instead, you’ll find Mickey usually near Phantom Manor in his spooky new Phantom Manor outfit—until Halloween rolls in. Then Jack Skellington takes over that spot, and Mickey may switch up to his Day of the Dead attire in Frontierland.
-
You can still reliably meet Mickey through character dining at Royal Banquet and sometimes at Plaza Gardens (though that also closes early 2026).
-
Catch him in other classic spots:
– Mickey and the Magician show (once it returns post–12 December)
– Stars on Parade
– Waving from the Main Street Railroad balcony during park openers and closures
Where to Find Mickey (Post-8 September)
Location | What to Expect |
---|---|
Phantom Manor gazebo | Mickey in his Haunted Tour Guide outfit (until 1 Oct) |
Frontierland (from 1 Oct) | Possible Day of the Dead look, spooky vibes happenin’ |
Royal Banquet (Hotel) | Comfy, character dining experience with Mickey |
Plaza Gardens Breakfast | Another dining option (closes early 2026) |
Shows & Parades | Still delivering Mickey magic, no Virtual Queue needed |
Why This Matters
-
Mickey’s House was a beloved showstopper—it’s rare to see changes like this in such a key experience!
-
The Virtual Queue system shift is complicating things—your queue time slot now determines Mickey’s location, and backup options are more important than ever.
-
All this happens as the resort ramps up for huge expansions (Frozen, Adventure Way, and more), so character operations are in flux.

Quick Q&A
Can Mickey still be seen without the queue?
Yes—character dining, shows, and parades are your best bets.
Will I find Mickey in his usual costume?
Not likely. Expect seasonal outfits based on time of year and location.
Do Virtual Queue slots still work?
Yes—but they now leave you hunting for Mickey in a few rotating spots.
Final Word
It’s a shake-up, not a vanishing act. Mickey’s House might be off the virtual map for now, but he’s popping up elsewhere with new looks and still delivering Disney magic. Plan ahead, track the app, and don’t be shy—he’s still very much around, costume changes and all.
