Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse houses are located in Mickey’s Toontown. According to “legend,” “Toontown existed long before it opened to the public in 1993. When Walt Disney was looking for a location to build Disneyland in the early 1950s, it was Mickey who suggested Walt build it adjacent to his town; only Toontown had to be kept a secret back then. In 1993, the Mickey and his friends decided they wanted to open their secret hideaway to non-toon guests.”
