Mickey Mouse, the iconic figure synonymous with the magic of Disneyland, recently found himself in some hot water. Fans were shocked when a Reddit post emerged showcasing a peculiar discovery at Mickey’s house in Disneyland Park’s Toontown. User u/-_-Voltage-_- posted a photo revealing that Mickey had a towel from the “Toontown Hotel” among his laundry.
The playful jab at Mickey’s unexpected laundry item quickly went viral. Fans could not resist speculating—with many joking that perhaps the beloved mouse was indulging in some mild kleptomania. Comments ranged from playful accusations to nostalgic reflections on old habits of taking hotel souvenirs. “Looks like Mickey is a klepto,” quipped one user, while another nostalgically mentioned, “I feel like stealing hotel towels and robes was peak 80s-90s jokes.”
This lighthearted controversy comes on the heels of a rather eventful year for Mickey Mouse. The copyright for the classic “Steamboat Willie” and other early shorts expired, allowing public domain usage. This resulted in various artists creating unexpected, often R-rated, renditions of the character. Despite these modern challenges, it seems the playful spirit of Mickey Mouse still holds a soft corner in the hearts of Disney fans.
Mickey’s house, a centerpiece of the 1993-established Toontown, remains a beloved stop for many visitors, especially after Toontown’s reimagining in 2023. While the new Toontown boasts many updates, Mickey’s house retains its original charm, delighting new generations of Disney enthusiasts.
