On the bright side, however, she is&nbsp;just as visible through Disney\u2019s theme parks. Whether you\u2019re at Disneyland Resort, Tokyo Disney Resort, or one of the four other resorts scattered in between, you can find a spot to meet Minnie for yourself \u2013 as well as purchase&nbsp;your fair share of Minnie-inspired merch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you do meet Minnie, she&nbsp;rarely appears directly alongside Mickey&nbsp;(unless you\u2019re at a character dining experience). Most of the time, the two mice are available for meet and greets in separate rooms \u2013 or separate locations entirely \u2013 such as at Red Carpet Dreams in Disney\u2019s Hollywood Studios.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1201\" height=\"600\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1201px) 100vw, 1201px\" src=\"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mickey-minnie-16x9-1-e1672778249444.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44664\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One guest recently encountered Minnie alongside a totally different iconic character. In a video shared by X (formerly known as Twitter) user&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/maru3__disney\/status\/1782594879241261493\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@maru3__disney<\/a>, Minnie Mouse was spotted not with Mickey but with Donald Duck in Tokyo Disneyland, where (shock and horror) the two appeared to kiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\">\uff1f\uff01\uff1f\uff01\uff1f\uff01\uff1f\uff01\uff1f\uff01 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/714PkS2Err\">pic.twitter.com\/714PkS2Err<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u307e\u308b\u3055\u3093 (@maru3__disney) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/maru3__disney\/status\/1782594879241261493?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 23, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two appeared pretty bashful, with Donald Duck shaking his head in embarrassment and Minnie Mouse falling back in shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other users seemed equally shocked. \u201cEven Disney characters cheat,\u201d wrote user&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bini8140\/status\/1782785156824064084\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Bini8140<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s the way things are now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/3NFADV4Rt77CNPz\/status\/1782624736117428593\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@3NFADV4Rt77CNPz<\/a>&nbsp;pointed out, \u201cIt would be terrible if Daisy and Mickey found out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In defense of Minnie and Donald, however,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fukka1218\/status\/1782725921021235397\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@fukka1218<\/a>&nbsp;wrote: \u201cMickey and Daisy were also walking along holding hands and enjoying the moment\u2026 Miki-Fure means unconditional love for everyone\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donald hasn\u2019t only just replaced Mickey as the object of Minnie\u2019s affection at Tokyo Disney Resort. As of earlier this month, Donald is also&nbsp;the (temporary) face of Tokyo Disneyland&nbsp;itself as the park continues its Disney Pal-Palooza event series by hosting Donald\u2019s Quacky Duck City until June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2016, the internet went equally crazy when pictures taken at Walt Disney World Resort&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-3694203\/Photos-appear-capture-Minnie-Mouse-CHEATING-Mickey-Goofy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">showed Minnie kissing Goofy<\/a>&nbsp;while Mickey Mouse stood watching ominously from the shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This may have been a playful moment between characters at a theme park, but Disney actually made Minnie Mouse cheating on Mickey a reality before (yes, really). Back in the 1930s,&nbsp;a comic strip&nbsp;apparently saw Mickey find out that Minnie had cheated before returning home and reaching for a gun. Dark, much?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a 1930s Mickey Mouse comic, Minnie cheated on Mickey with another mouse. Mickey then tried to kill himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, what\u2019s the use?\u201d Mickey\u2019s character is shown as saying in the comic. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t care for me anymore \u2013 what is there to live for? Without Minnie, I might as well end it all!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considering the fact&nbsp;they\u2019ve been an item for nearly a century, we\u2019re fairly sure Mickey and Minnie will survive this one \u2013 although, let\u2019s just say that we didn\u2019t have infidelity on Main Street, U.S.A. on our bingo card today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad news for Mickey Mouse, as Minnie Mouse appears to have found a new romantic partner.
