As the official Walt Disney mascot, Mickey has played a central role in the [[Walt Disney Parks and Resorts|Disney parks]] since the opening of [[Disneyland]] in 1955. As with other characters, Mickey is often portrayed by a non-speaking costumed actor. In this form, he has participated in ceremonies and countless parades, and poses for photographs with guests.

Mickey also features in several specific attractions at the Disney parks. [[Mickey's Toontown]] (Disneyland and [[Tokyo Disneyland]]) is a themed land which is a recreation of Mickey's neighborhood. Buildings are built in a cartoon style and guests can visit [[Mickey's House and Meet Mickey|Mickey]] or Minnie's houses, Donald Duck's boat, or [[Goofy]]'s garage. This is a common place to meet the characters.<ref>[http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneyland/mickeys-house/ Mickey's House and Meet Mickey] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130516023607/http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneyland/mickeys-house/ |date=May 16, 2013 }} at disney.com</ref>

[[Mickey's PhilharMagic]] ([[Magic Kingdom]], [[Tokyo Disneyland]], [[Hong Kong Disneyland]], [[Disney California Adventure]]) is a [[4D film]] which features Mickey in the familiar role of symphony conductor.

In addition to Mickey's overt presence in the parks, numerous images of him are also subtly included in sometimes unexpected places. This phenomenon is known as "[[Hidden Mickeys]]", involving hidden images in Disney films, theme parks, and merchandise.<ref name="Canadian Newspaper">{{cite news|url=https://www.thestar.com/SpecialSections/FloridaTravel/article/122444|title=Exposing hidden world of Mickey Mouse|last=Sponagle|first=Michele|date=November 25, 2006|publisher=[[Toronto Star]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080224180417/http://www.thestar.com/SpecialSections/FloridaTravel/article/122444|archive-date=February 24, 2008}}</ref>
