Camp Minnie-Mickey isn't just a nostalgic reminder of the summer camps of our youth, it's also a place where the Disney characters love to go for hiking, fishing and all sorts of other outdoorsy fun. Just look around, and you're sure to spot some of them. Down by the stream, that's Daisy Duck leading the nephews along a nature trail. Huey, Dewey and Louie are no doubt working on another Junior Woodchuck badge.
Around the bend, Mickey and Pluto have cast a line into the pond hoping to catch some fish, while Goofy is more interested in catching some Zs! As for Donald, well... he got the boot. That's okay, pal. One time when I was a kid, I went fishing with my Grandpa and didn't catch anything but the motor of his boat!
When the characters aren't engaged in activities, they're happy to stop by one of the camp's Greeting Trails to say, "Hi!" and make some new friends.
Look closely, and you'll notice the kiosks at the end of each of the trails sport different designs. The original intent was that Mickey and the gang would appear under the Adirondack kiosk (where Minnie is pictured above). The woodland kiosk would be home to Pocahontas and Meeko. Characters from the "Winnie the Pooh" films would appear under the storybook kiosk, and the jungle-style kiosk (below) would be the place to meet characters from The Lion King or The Jungle Book.
Over the years, those other characters have found their own homes around the park, allowing Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Chip and Dale to spread out a bit. Of course, if one of them isn't around when you stop by, they're probably just out getting some well-deserved R&R.
