In honor of Women’s History Month, beginning on March 6, 2022, Minnie Mouse will wear a new pantsuit at Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris. This new outfit ditches the classic dress look many are used to seeing on Minnie Mouse. Please note that at the moment, this outfit will only be seen at Disneyland Paris Resort.

Although Mickey Mouse didn’t get any new designs, this decision seems to go hand-in-hand with other changes to the Disney Parks, as the Walt Disney Company has been pushing for more inclusivity and representation lately. From retheming the iconic Splash Mountain into a The Princess and the Frog attraction, a gender-neutral dress code at the Parks, or even removing culturally offensive names from Tom Sawyer Island, the company has made multiple efforts to be more welcoming toward everyone.

This change has been met with a lot and appreciation, as well as some criticism. Our story on the change received many comments from our readers, voicing their thoughts and opinions.
Inside the Magic reader, Mitch H. said:
Nope not buying it
Emma P. asked:
What’s wrong with girls wearing pantsuits?? I love them!
Erica D. simply said:
Ewwww
Melanie S. had this to say about the change:
What’s next? Pants suits for Cinderella, Snow White and Belle? This seems like a really bad marketing decision. If you see red and white polka dots with a splash of black, you think Minnie Mouse. Minnie has always had great dresses. Why can’t we celebrate that? Why are dresses suddenly a ‘bad’ thing? I loved Minnie’s khaki outdoor skirt attire that she often wore for meet n greets in Animal Kingdom. Are we to believe that feminists have been aggressively demanding this change? What is the rationale? I’m a 56 year old female mechanical engineer and I totally prefer Minnie in her cute dresses.
Sharon G. questioned why Disney would do this:
If we didn’t know before, Disney is changing to more woke
Nikki K. said:
my childhood is slowly being ruined
Josh S. posted a hilarious comment:
Now focus on Donald Duck who has been walking around without pants on for years
Jeanne M. said:
This is nothing new. Who remembers her “Totally Minnie” look from the 80s?
Veronica P. said that the new outfit looks like Minnie is going to bed:
Looks like Minnie In Pjs to me
Judy A. said:
Why her dresses are gorgeous leave her alone
Jason C. didn’t care:
I don’t really care, she’s always had several outfits. Looks like comfy pjs to me
