As we all know, the House of Mouse TV Show seemed to be what inspired us most with all the crossovers out there and also to commemorate and coincide with Walt Disney's birth. Now at Toontopia, and just like in the TV Show, where all of the citizens I've listed down so far can visit as guests and attendees the ones who are either Disney, Non-Disney, Live Action, or CGI. Basically, it'll be the citizens on this list on the Next Chapter.

Mickey is the club's owner, while Minnie Mouse manages the finances and show production. Other House of Mouse staff members include:
Greeter and Co-Owner - Donald Duck
Reservation Clerk - Daisy Duck
Head Waiter - Goofy
Mascot - Pluto
Mechanical Technician - Horace Horsecollar
Chef - Gus Goose
Gossip Columnist - Clarabelle Cow
Parking Valet - Max Goof
Waiters - The Penguin Waiters
Janitors - The Magic Brooms
A musical band consisting of Donald Duck's troublesome nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie always serve as the musical guests, with such alternating names as "The Quackstreet Boys", "The Splashing Pumpkins", and Kid Duck. Mickey's arch-rival Pete is the club's greedy landlord, who often attempts to shut the club down for his own personal gain by sabotaging the show through various means, since Mickey's contract states that the club stays open "as long as the show goes on".

The Night Club itself

The House of Mouse is a nightclub located in the middle of Mickey's Toontown, that's the section just above Fantasyland. The club was co-founded by Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. On opening night, the club was purchased by the evil landlord Pete, who plots to shut down the club. In the course of the series, the club was briefly owned by Scrooge McDuck for one night. The club was also renamed "House of Villains" twice throughout the show. Donald also had the club's name changed to the "House of Duck" briefly in the first episode. At one point, all the Disney villains met together and attempted to take over the club. However, they were foiled by the collected efforts of Mickey and Aladdin.

the Foyer

The front hall of the club is accessible via glass double doors from the street. Here, guests may converse among themselves or with the Magic Mirror that is located just within the entrance. There is also a small lounge for guests waiting to be seated. Donald can usually be found here greeting visitors personally; often with a handshake. Daisy works at the reception desk situated just outside the restaurant/theater area, helping guests to book reservations or assist with any requests they may have. Outside, Max Goof assists visitors in parking their cars at a nearby lot owned by the club.

the Restaurant/Theater

One of the busiest areas of the club, this wide, spacious area has at least forty tables that can seat over 120 people. Although it can be a bit crowded, every toon counts, but no more than 375 guests in total. Given the wide variety of clientèle at the club, which includes Willie the Giant, the Great Valley Dinosaurs, the Iron Giant, and Elliott the Dragon, the amount of seating at the club can vary wildly at times. Goofy and the penguin waiters take orders and deliver various dishes, ranging from conventional to outlandish, to the guests. At the far end of the area is a stage where performances of all sorts are conducted, including those of Huey, Dewey, and Louie. There is also a huge TV screen in the stage background to show cartoons and live video feeds. Mickey often hosts the evening's events on-stage. The TV screen measures as a widescreen TV and adjusts its screen size depending on the aspect ratio of the cartoon being shown.

the Backstage

This area behind the stage is restricted only to club staff and performers hired by the club. Located here are staff offices, dressing rooms, storage spaces and an employee rest area. This area has direct access to the club's kitchen. The back entrance to the club and the door to the prop room are also located here. Minnie is often seen here using a PDA to assist in keeping the show's schedule on track or directing guest star performers to the stage.

the Kitchen

All types of ingredients and cooking equipment can be found here to cater to the wide and often exotic palates of the club's clientèle. There is also a cold storage room to store fresh meat and other perishable foods. Gus Goose works here nightly to prepare various dishes for the guests, but he sometimes eats said dishes before they reach the tables.

the Control Room

From this room, located behind and above the restaurant/theater area, much of the technical equipment at the club is operated. The club's collection of cartoons is stored here as well. Through a window that overlooks the restaurant/theater area, Horace operates the lights, the loudspeakers and various record players (for example, DVD or VHS players) to show cartoons and live video feeds when instructed to do so.

(And Last but certainly not least) the Prop Basement

Perhaps the most interesting area of the club, the prop room consists of a cavernous basement much larger than the club itself. Props from all of Disney animation can be found here, including magical items such as Genie's Lamp, The Black Cauldron, and Noah's Flood. The prop room is so large that one could get lost for days unless one took Pluto along as a guide. However, Mickey and his friends usually have little trouble navigating the prop room.
