While it may not have as many options as other parks, there are still a handful of spots you can meet with Mickey and Minnie at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Tusker House Restaurant
The only character dining in the park is at Tusker House Restaurant, which you’ll find in the Africa section. The buffet-style meal is available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with African-inspired flavors. Here you can also meet with Donald, Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy, all in safari gear! It’s a unique way to meet the characters, with some truly delicious food.
Meet Favorite Disney Pals at Adventurers Outpost
If you aren’t going to Tusker House, you have another chance to meet with Mickey and Minnie in their safari gear at the Meet Favorite Disney Pals at Adventurers Outpost. Located in the Discovery Island section of the park, the duo is surrounded by mementos from their world travels at this particular meet and greet.

As you may have guessed, Magic Kingdom is the park where you’ll have the most opportunities to meet the Mouse couple. Mickey and Minnie are featured in attractions, parades, meet and greets, and more at the original Disney World park.
Mickey’s PhilharMagic
Located in Fantasyland, this 3D musical experience sees Donald Duck taking a whirlwind journey through classic Disney songs and scenes. While Donald is the main character in the show, Mickey plays a key role and is featured as part of the film.
Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade
The Festival of Fantasy parade takes place once or twice a day in Magic Kingdom (depending what time of year you visit). The daily parade celebrates Disney stories, so it’s only fitting that Mickey and Minnie appear as part of the finale. Catch them towards the end of the route, waving from a colorful hot air balloon.
Let the Magic Begin
This short, energetic welcome show takes place at Cinderella Castle each morning, featuring Mickey and friends helping kick off the day’s magic. Check your My Disney Experience app for daily showtimes.
Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire
Another show performed on the Cinderella Castle stage, this one featuring Mickey, Minnie, and friends, together with characters from Frozen, The Princess and the Frog, and Tangled, for a song-and-dance spectacular. Check your My Disney Experience app for daily showtimes.
Meet Mickey at Town Square Theater
One of the most classic character meet and greets at Disney World, you can meet Mickey as a master magician in his theater just inside the park entrance. When you get into Magic Kingdom, veer right and head towards Town Hall for this fun meet and greet (just note that it’s just Mickey, no Minnie).
Meet Dashing Disney Pals as Circus Stars at Pete’s Silly Sideshow – featuring Minnie Magnifique and Daisy Fortuna
While Mickey hosts a meet and greet in the front of the park, you can find Minnie over at Storybook Circus. Located inPete’s Silly Sideshow, you can meet with Minnie Magnifique (a graceful circus star) alongside Daisy Fortuna. Minnie has a particularly fun thematic costume, making this a particularly unique meet and greet with her!
