No visit to Mickey's Toontown Fair would be complete without stopping in at the big mouse's house. Mickey may not be home at the moment - he's out back judging items for the Fair - but his door is always open.
Just inside, there's mail on the table and a framed photo on the wall of Mickey overseeing construction of this very house. From the looks of things, the place turned out okay in spite of the efforts of Donald Duck and Goofy!
The first room we come to is Mickey's bedroom. His night shirt and slippers are laid out, waiting for him, and there are plenty of his favorite suit all pressed and hanging in the wardrobe. Take a look at the back wall, and you'll even spot Mickey's baby photo and a picture of him as a little mouse on Santa's knee.
The pet gate is up, keeping us from going too far in. If it was meant to hold Pluto, though, it doesn't look like it quite did the trick.
Just across the foyer is the family room, where it looks like the gang just stepped out for a bit. They've been in here enjoying a game on TV, a competition between Duckburg University and Goofy Tech. There are pennants, pompoms and popcorn... even mouse ears (as opposed to rabbit ears) to ensure good reception on the TV set.
Most interesting in this room are the photos hung on the back wall. Here, we finally find out about the gaping hole in the side of the Miss Daisy. It turns out a shark took a bite out of the hull.
Next up is the game room with plenty of fun activities and an even more fun collection of trophies. On the inside wall of this room is a pennant for Disney University, a real entity in that it's the place where Walt Disney World Cast Members go to learn everything from Disney Traditions to management or computer skills. Also on this wall is an often-overlooked gag. Notice the darts that have missed the board. One has landed squarely on Goofy's nose, while the other has found Donald's backside.
Finally, we come to Mickey's kitchen where (probably unbeknownst to him) Donald and Goofy have undertaken a massive remodeling project. Judging from the mess - not to mention the holes in the wall with exposed insulation - they still have a long way to go.
