The mickey mouse club house was a symbol of childlike fun and play for many years. It inspired children around the globe to be happy.

The clubhouse was active from 1963 to 1974. After a good 11 years of activities and fun, the clubhouse went bankrupt due to a lack of funding, and shut down. This, of course, meant the main workers at the clubhouse; Mickey, Minnie , Donald, Pluto, Goofy and Daisy lost their jobs.

The media never heard from the gang again, until 1991, when Goofy, now going by the name of Gerald Smith, approached The Sunday Times for an interview. In this interview, Gerald talked about his life after the clubhouse, and what happened to the rest of the gang. He mentioned: “ I was the lucky one, after leaving the clubhouse, I used the last bit of money I had and hopped on a bus to Washington DC. There I met an old friend, Corey from Corey in the House. Corey gave me a job as a coffee guy on set of Corey In The House. So yeah, thats where I’ve been”. He added, “The last of heard of Mickey was that he was going by the name of Michael Santiago, and he was a trapeze act in a touring circus in New Jersey. The others, well, they kinda just went under the radar. No phone call, nothing”.

Today, the clubhouse sits alone, derelict and abandoned 20 acre plot of land, just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Once a symbol of happiness and joy. Now, a forgotten relic of the past.
