With three huge Minnie Mouse fans in our family, we always try to meet Minnie Mouse at every possible opportunity on our Disneyland Paris trips! So if you’re wondering where to find Minnie Mouse at Disneyland Paris in 2026, here’s our updated guide to all the best places to meet her, spot her in parades and shows, and catch some of her newer appearances around Disney Adventure World.
Unlike Mickey Mouse and the Princesses, Minnie Mouse doesn’t have a permanent meet and greet location at Disneyland Paris. Instead, she appears across the parks, Disney Hotels, character dining and entertainment offerings throughout the year.
Where to Meet Minnie Mouse at Disneyland Paris in 2026
1 | Meet Minnie or her Friends Across Europe
One of the main places to meet Minnie Mouse in 2026 is the Meet Minnie or her Friends Across Europe meet and greet in Disneyland Park.
The meet takes place in Videopolis and features themed European backdrops inspired by landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben. However, the important thing to know is that Minnie is not guaranteed.
As the name suggests, the location rotates between Minnie Mouse and some of her friends. Minnie mostly switches out with Clarabelle but guests can also occasionally meet Daisy Duck or Clarice here instead.
If Minnie is top of your must-do list, just be aware that you could queue here and meet one of Minnie’s friends instead. On a recent visit we queued for over an hour and met Clarabelle on our first attempt and then met Minnie the next day. Clarabelle is a fabulous meet and greet and we were so excited to meet her but we did notice some other guests were disappointed not to meet Minnie.
2 | Royal Banquet in the Disneyland Hotel
One of the most reliable ways to meet Minnie Mouse in 2026 is at the Royal Banquet in the Disneyland Hotel.
Minnie joins Mickey Mouse and friends during both lunch and dinner at this premium buffet character dining experience. On our visits we’ve met Minnie alongside Mickey and Daisy and Donald or Pluto and Goofy – Donald and Daisy and Pluto and Goofy rotate between the lunch and dinner shift depending on when you visit but Mickey and Minnie are almost always in attendance.
The interactions here tend to feel much more relaxed than regular park meet and greets and the characters spend a lovely amount of time at each table.
Reservations for Royal Banquet remain extremely popular in 2026 and Disneyland Paris Hotel guests continue to get priority booking access in advance of spots being released on the app.
3 | Disney Hotels at Disneyland Paris
If you’re staying onsite at a Disney Hotel, there’s also a chance you may meet Minnie Mouse during the hotel character meet and greets.
Minnie regularly appears at:
- Disney Newport Bay Club
- Disney Hotel Santa Fe
She does not appear every day as each hotel hosts 3 or 4 characters but she does make frequent appearances.
Her outfits are themed to the hotel which makes these meets extra cute — nautical Minnie at Newport Bay and retro Route 66 Minnie at Santa Fe are both adorable.
Minnie Mouse does not appear at Disney Hotel Cheyenne (Woody and Jessie), Disneyland Hotel (princesses) or Art of Marvel (Marvel Super Heroes). She might make an occasional appearance at Sequoia Lodge but it’s mostly Donald, Max or Goofy.
4 | Pop-Up Meet and Greets in Frontierland
Not all Minnie Mouse appearances are listed in the Disneyland Paris app and some of our favourite Minnie meets have actually been surprise encounters.
Minnie occasionally appears around Frontierland, especially near Cowboy Cookout BBQ. While she doesn’t meet here consistently, we actually spotted her here recently which was such a lovely surprise for our girls.
Other places to see Minnie Mouse in Disneyland Paris
5 | Disney Marching Band on Adventure Way
One of Minnie’s newer appearances in 2026 is during the Disney Marching Band performances on Adventure Way in Disney Adventure World.
Minnie joins musicians and performers in a lively street-style performance full of music, dancing and colourful costumes. It’s not a traditional meet and greet, but it’s a really fun way to see Minnie up close while exploring Disney Adventure World.
Adventure Way has become one of the liveliest areas of Disneyland Paris with roaming entertainment, performances and character moments throughout the day.
6 | A Million Splashes of Colour
Minnie Mouse appears in the daytime spectacular, A Million Splashes of Colour.
The vibrant daytime celebration returned in February 2026 and is currently scheduled to run until September 2026. Minnie joins Mickey, Rapunzel, Joy, Mirabel and other Disney characters in A Million Splashes of Colour.
It’s one of the best ways to see lots of Disney characters during the daytime without queueing for individual meet and greets.
7 | Minnie’s Dream Factory
Minnie stars in Minnie’s Dream Factory in Disney Adventure World.
Minnie appears alongside Daisy, Donald and Chip ’n’ Dale in a bright, upbeat musical production aimed at younger guests.
Our kids absolutely love this show and it’s definitely one of the best options for younger Minnie fans in 2026.
At the time of writing, Disneyland Paris has not announced a permanent end date for the show.
8 | Parades
Minnie Mouse still appears regularly in the main Disneyland Paris parades and seasonal celebrations.
Depending on the season, you’ll usually spot her in:
- Disney Stars on Parade
- Mickey’s Halloween Celebration – Disneyland Paris’ Halloween Parade
- Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade – Disneyland Paris’ Christmas Parade
Minnie always seems to have some of the cutest costumes in the park too!
9 | Plaza Gardens Character Dining (Currently Closed)
Plaza Gardens was previously one of the most popular places to meet Minnie Mouse during evening character dining.
However, Plaza Gardens is currently closed long term for refurbishment in 2026, so this is not currently an option for meeting Minnie Mouse.
Before the closure, Minnie frequently appeared during dinner alongside Mickey and friends, while breakfast usually featured Winnie the Pooh characters instead.
Other Places You Might See Minnie Mouse at Disneyland Paris
Extra Magic Time Welcome
During Extra Magic Time, Mickey Mouse often welcomes guests from the Disneyland Park train station balcony overlooking Town Square.
Minnie occasionally joins him, although most mornings it tends to just be Mickey. If she does appear, they wave, dance and interact with guests below as everyone enters Main Street U.S.A. for the day.
Seasonal Events and Special Celebrations
Minnie Mouse also appears during lots of seasonal entertainment throughout the year at Disneyland Paris.
Outside of the above, we’ve spotted Minnie on various occasions including a Halloween meet and greet with Mickey Mouse in Frontierland and a special New Year’s Eve meet and greet in Disneyland Park.
