Being a Disney fan, I was happy to visit the 16,000 sq ft Pop-Up Disney! A Mickey Celebration, which celebrates 90 years of our favorite mouse, Mickey Mouse. It’s located in the former ESPN Zone at Downtown Disney District in Anaheim. Those who know me know that I love attending pop-up museums such as the Museum of Ice Cream, Happy Place, Candytopia, Cheat Day Land, The Pizza Museum, The Foodie Space, etcโฆPop-Up Disney! is similar to these pop-ups. It’s an Instagram Paradise with lots of photo opportunities. This limited-time pop up ends on September 2, 2019, that you do not want to miss!
We arrived 15 minutes before our ticket time at 10:10 A.M. and were given a colored card which designated the group we were in. While waiting in the lobby, my son watched classic Mickey cartoon while my daughter listened to Pop-Up Disney playlist on Beats by Dre headphones. I took some photos against the large murals on the wall. When it was time, a Cast Member announced our color for our group to go into the exhibit where we were led upstairs into the first room.
There are seven unique rooms with different themes.
Mickey and Minnieโs Love
The first room you enter celebrates the love between Mickey and Minnie. It features larger symbols of Mickey and Minnieโs relationship, like bows, hearts, pictures of the couple, and more. There are 3 hidden Minnie in this room. Can you find them all?
