Question about inside Mickey's house.

Question about inside Minnie's house.

Every time we go through Minnies's house my kids love to stop in the kitchen and play with the microwave and look around. Once while we were in there the pot's & pans on the stove were banging or doing something but they couldn't get it to do it again. Do they need to push something or is on a timer?

Actually, I think you thinking of Minnie's house. There is a button or you post to make them work, and its easy to find. However, its most likely they were broken when you went.

You are right, it's Minnie's house but it was working when we went in.

While the effects are manually triggered, it's also possible that they have a "rest" delay programmed in so that it's can't be re-activated too quickly after it plays.

There are three effects that I know of in the kitchen: one stove starts the kettle whistling (and steaming, if it's working) and the pots and pans start playing. A second causes a birthday cake to magically bake in the oven. And over on the microwave, pushing the button causes popcorn to pop out of control inside.

I love visiting mickey and minnies house but it puzzles me the difference between them. Why can you touch/look at everything in detail in Minnies yet Mickeys is all walled off?

I know, Disneyland's Mickey house is so much better. I think they have it walled off because when it was Mickey's starland, that was the only house. They have refurbished it, but just changing furniture. I guess the rooms were'nt built to go in!

It must have a delay like you said because they turned every and pushed everything to get it to do something & nothing happened. Maybe next time it will work. :lol:

It's really cute.

Minnie's House is essentially an attraction. It's meant to be touched and played with because that's all there is there.
Mickey's House, on the other hand, was essentially built as an extended queue for the Judge's Tent. They needed to keep the traffic flow as close to linear as they could, for those (assume rare) times when the line out of the Tent really does back up all the way out to the House. Though at some point I guess they realized that the line would almost never get that long, so they changed the garage to be an exit out of the backyard without going into the tent. So the house can be either the beginning of a queue or a stand-alone attraction, according to whether you want to meet Mickey. They just didn't change the interior layout of the House.

Also, if Mickey's house ever was a queue, it would be a disaster if it was interactive. The other day, Minnie was doing meet and greets in her backyard, and her house acted as the queue and you couldn't do anything inside.
