Development

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+ was announced at the Disney Jr. & Friends Playdate event at Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort on August 18, 2023.^[1][2] Most of the voice cast from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse will reprise their roles. On the 2023 Halloween party at Disney TVA, an image was taken where it was a new render of the Clubhouse, except the pants are bigger (presumably the Laughing Loft). It wasn't found out until February 8, 2024. On November 12, 2023, Bret Iwan (Mickey's voice actor) confirmed a bunch of things about the show: Voice acting is in session and teased "little cameos" in the form of Mystery Mousekepals (which also confirms Toodles' return). It will also be the same as the original but a little more adventurus.

At the Annecy Film Festival on June 11, 2024, Rob DaLuca shared more news privately about the series. He recalled the anxiety of translating Mickey Mouse and his colorful world into the CG space and the need to retain Mickey’s static ears to avoid him looking too much like his theme park persona. And, as one of Disney Jr’s second computer-animated preschool series when it premiered in 2006, the limitations of the medium. Individual blades of grass, leaves on trees, feathers, all of that would’ve been too time-consuming and costly to render, so the art department had to make everything stylized. Annecy Festival attendees were the first to see the reboot’s opening credits (up to the point where Mickey enters the Clubhouse) in a side-by-side comparison with the original intro, which shows just how far CG animation on TV has come in twenty years.

On June 19, 2024, an exhibit at the Children's Museum Indianaopolis themed after Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was revealed, which included the original logo but with the 2024 Disney Jr logo. It might've been related to the reboot. Mickey Mouse and his pals are throwing a surprise birthday party for their favorite pup Pluto and could use a helping hand! Preparations are underway at the Clubhouse, but there is so much to do, and that’s where you can help. Join Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and Goofy at the Clubhouse to put the finishing touches on the best birthday surprise ever! You'll enjoy an interactive adventure of learning and fun with Mickey and his pals while enhancing physical, cognitive and social-emotional skills through immersive hands-on and digital interactives. Iconic elements from the Disney Jr. series such as Toodles and the Mousekedoer will also be present to help along the way.

On June 26, 2024, an episode of Nostalgia Talk confirmed that Corey Burton is in it and he confirmed that he's a part of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 2.0 and he says he's being enjoying recording for it. On July 21, 2024, a copyright showed the show's final name and new details, including Minnie's area name (The Laughing Loft) and a new character named Little Helper. This was revealed by D001, otherwise known as Minions_Fanboy. More info was announced on September 17, 2024 that the series will debut with a live show, called Disney Jr. Live on Tour, previously announced on May 2024. The Disney Jr. Dance Party on Tour live show was eventually released in its 2024 version on September 2024, and what might be a prototype for the reboot's Mousekedor was shown. The Mystery Mousekepal was also revealed to look like the Mystery Mouseketool, but it might just be for the tour as they recycled footage from the original series. Toodles also is revealed to have his face in the reboot, possibly making it a continuation of the original series. The intro's footage is revealed, finally confirming that the Clubhouse's design shown in the 2023 Disney TVA Halloween party is the actual design, but the sand area is moved further away and has water, making it like a beach.

On October 12, 2024, three storyboards for the show got leaked. The first storyboard is a silent clip of Mickey and Pluto fishing, but Pluto sees a squirrel. The second storyboard is from the original series episode "Clarabelle's Clubhouse Carnival", likely hinting at episode remakes. The third storyboard are the main characters (joined by Little Helper) singing about the nighttime with fireflies, ending with Figaro stuck in a tree. However, the videos got privated on October 15, 2024.
