Young fans of Mickey Mouse will enjoy playing with him and his friends in Mickey's Surprise Clubhouse. This Disney toy, designed for children ages 2 and up and based on the popular "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" animated TV series, lets kids imagine a variety of adventures for their favorite characters.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Toy encourages discovery and imaginative play in toddlers The Bad: Toy's components sometimes separate during play In a Nutshell: Toddlers can play with Mickey Mouse and friends in his fun, imaginative clubhouse At a Glance Ages: 2 years and up Requires: 3 AA batteries, Phillips screwdriver to open battery compartment

The clubhouse is full of fun surprises. View larger.

Find Adventure and Surprise with Mickey Mouse and Friends
The Clubhouse has plenty of fun activities and surprises for children to discover with the included characters. The Clubhouse comes with three compatible figures: Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, who both have movable arms and heads; and Pluto. (Although Donald Duck and Goofy are pictured on the box, they are sold separately.)

This Clubhouse toy is inspired by the setting of the TV series, complete with a "magical" front gate which, when opened, reveals a "surprise" path that leads to the Mouse-ear-topped stage. The stage has a designated pedestal for each character. When you place a character on his or her pedestal, you'll hear a variety of fun phrases, which you're likely to recognize if you're familiar with the TV show. For example, Mickey Mouse may say, "Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse," which is the magical phrase used to make the clubhouse appear in the television show. Pull the stage's red lever to hear the popular TV series song "Hot Dog Song."

The "lawn" in front of the stage has two levers. Pull one and a table pops up already set with a fun picnic for the figures to enjoy. Pull the other lever, and Pluto's doghouse pops up. Characters can go for a ride in the hot-air balloon or the little red car.

Entertaining Introduction to Imaginary Play
With its variety of activities, the Clubhouse gives kids the opportunity to imagine many adventures for Mickey Mouse and his friends, making it a perfect toy for children who have reached the stage of imaginary play in their development. The toy definitely got our 2-year-old tester's imagination going: she enjoyed not only playing with the Clubhouse and discovering its "surprises," but she also enjoyed making the figures interact with each other. And she went wild for the Hot Dog Song -- though she needed a bit of help with pushing the lever to listen to it over and over (and over!) again.

The toy comes with several components that slide easily together. They don't lock into place, which unfortunately makes the toy come apart somewhat easily during play. But on the plus side, it also makes for much easier set up and clean up. The Clubhouse requires three AA batteries, which are included. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver to replace them.

What's in the Box
Mickey Mouse Surprise Clubhouse with stage, base, hot-air balloon and support arm, car, and garage; Mickey Mouse figure, Minnie Mouse figure, and Pluto figure; 3 AA batteries included.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does Not Perform As Described, October 28, 2008

This review is from: Fisher-Price Mickey's Surprise Clubhouse (Toy)

I want to review what it doesn't do that it should. "Place any of the figures on the Clubhouse pedestals to hear them say Role Call. They also say silly phrases depending on where they are placed." Mickey and Minnie only go on their own specific pedastals. Pluto or any other figures you buy can only go on the third one. I didn't buy any others, but the 3 included never said 'Roll Call.' "Turn the crazy crank on the back to watch them move up and down and sing the Hot Dog song." There is no crank, just a lever on the front. It does play a part of the Hot Dog song, but you have to keep moving the lever back and forth to make them move up and down; it's not automatic. "This crank also moves the hot air balloon back and forth." Again, no crank, but the hot air balloon doesn't move anyway. It just attaches and hangs there. "Flip open the Clubhouse top to reveal the lookout telescope, or place a character on top of the Clubhouse and pull a lever to eject them down the silly slide. Press the umbrella to launch the red car out of the garage..." None of this is included, though there is a car.

If it actually did what it said, it'd be awesome. It sounds like they just cheaped out on it in the end. Oh, and none of the pieces snap or hook into place either, meaning it separates very easily. The original clubhouse is way better and less expensive. It's not made by the same company either (which is odd, since Fisher-Price made this one).

4.0 out of 5 stars Need to correct the manufacturer's description, October 26, 2008

= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Fisher-Price Mickey's Surprise Clubhouse (Toy)

I researched this clubhouse and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse that came before this one. Comparing the two, this one has definitely made some improvements: more durable and comes with three figurines instead of just one, more things to do...the best part however, is the fact that it plays the "Hot Dog Song." That is what my 2 and a half year old loves the most about the toy.

My biggest complaint is that the manufacturer's description from amazon is WRONG! There is not a slide and the mousekadoer does not light up and flash. You do not press an umbrella for a car to shoot out. The manufacturer's description on the box does not say that either so Amazon needs to fix their description.

Another thing I wish is that it came with Toodles like the old clubhouse and that the Mousekadoer would light up like the old clubhouse. That would be the best of both worlds (no pun intended). Otherwise, it seems to be an improvement off of the old clubhouse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun toy for girls and boys, November 14, 2008

This review is from: Fisher-Price Mickey's Surprise Clubhouse (Toy)

First off, this toy comes with Mickey, Pluto, and Minnie. If you would like to purchase more of the figures at a very reasonable price ($5 each) go to the fisher price website and type in mickey mouse clubhouse in the search area. Don't buy them on here for $10-20 each when you can get them there cheaper. Another option is to get all of the figures and the clubhouse through toys-r-us website for $60. Anyhow, the only real problen is the house doesn't lock together so yes if your child is a hellion it will "pop" apart. Both of my kids, ages 2 and 5, LOVE this toy and are HUGE fans of the show. They both spend hours playing with this toy. So the bottom line is, if your kids got ears and say cheers buy this for them and you will not regret it. Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggidy dog!
