Wait for Mickey or main street?

We will be at DL/CA for 4 days, should we wait to see Mickey at his house or can we find him on MAin Street or other places and not waste an hour? My almost 3 year old will want to see Mickey

In Mickey's House, Toontown, it's usually a 30 minute to an hour wait. On Town Square or his meeting spot near Ariel's Grotto in DCA 5 to 15 minutes.

You may want to see him inside his house. It's quiet and calm, and can be a nicer experience.

If you can get in to Toon Town Morning Madness, by all means do it if your 3yr old likes Mickey. You will be able to see the show as well as meet all the toon town characters without being in a rush. If not, be at toon town when it opens to see Mickey. Get ahead of the crowds. Also check at city hall for Mickey's schedule while you are at the park.....

Thanks. Maybe I will see how much Mickey we can get...then if limited or no Mickey, we can go on the last day.

I love going to see Mickey at his house in Toontown -- it just seems so much more magical. We will go right when Toontown opens (or at least the first half hour) and the wait is never bad. In fact, it takes longer to walk through his house exploring than it does waiting to see Mickey.

One TIP I like, is if you go see Mickey in Toontown, when you go out the back of the house and into the movie barn, talk to the CM at the end of the line. Ask if Mickey is available in a certain wardrobe. Band Leader, Tuxedo, Sorceror, and Steamboat Willy.

Mickey (in a sailor suit) has a little gazebo in DCA near Paradise Pier. We stood in a VERY short line on a recent Sunday.

Also, if Mickey is a big priority and you're planning a character breakfast anyway, the Surf's Up breakfast at Paradise Pier Hotel is the only character breakfast to have Mickey. Everyone gets to meet Mickey as they walk in and take pictures with him.
