Scene 1: Another Day in ToonTown/Hangout at the Cafe/Walt Disney
(It starts off at ToonTown, a wonderful place where all cartoon characters lived. Mickey was the first to wake up as he opens the window.)

Mickey: (breathes in and out) Good mornin', ToonTown!!

(Mickey runs to get changed and is all ready to go out.)

Mickey: Bye, house! See ya later!

(Mickey runs out of the house as he begins to sing "Another Day in ToonTown")

Mickey: The sun is shining,

The birds are singing,

And the sky is blue as usual

Everything seems swell as well,

Just another great day in ToonTown,

I can't wait to see what we have in store this time,

Can't wait to see the rest,

Can't wait to the clock to chime,

For another great day, In ToonTown,

(As the song goes on, Mickey walks into a bus full of Toons, and as Ruby Johnson took a breath and turns around, only to see Donald Duck. She then turns around and gets out of the bus.)

Donald: As soon as I'm awake, I'm always quackin',

To be fair, I am a duck.

Mickey: Okay, bus driver, do your thing!

I wish ya good luck!

Bus Driver: Sure thing, he-he.

(The bus stops at the location. Mickey gets out of the bus as the bus leaves.)

Mickey: Gee, isn't this so swell?

Isn't it lovely,

Isn't it seems so wonderful,

What a brand new day of ToonTown,

Can't wait for the day to start,

And can't wait for me to...

Goofy: Hey-a, Mick!

Mickey: Mornin', Goofy!

Goofy: What'ya up to?

Mickey: Ah, nothing much... (giggles) just singing 'bout how great Toontown i- (bumps into Baloo) O-oops, sorry!

Baloo: Ah, no problem-o.

Mickey: Great to hear...

Goofy: Well, since you're here singing. Guess I should too. (clears throat) Boy am I a goofball,

A goofball through 'n through,

But just 'cause I'm a goofball,

Don't let that get to you,

Cause I still have a heart of gold,

Mickey: Gee, he-he, yes you do.

Goofy: That, and I'm a good friend.

There's that, there's that, too.

(Mickey and Goofy walk to the plaza of ToonTown.)

Mickey: (marching/walking, while humming)

(Then, they walked up to the girls, mostly the Heroettes)

Mickey: (chuckles) Hey there, guys!

Ruby: Oh, hey.

Judy: Hey there! So, do you have any plans for today?

Mickey: Nope. Nothing. Just relaxing.

Judy: Ah, okay.

Minnie: Umm everybody else is singing including me... so want to sing as well?

Ruby: Well, I don't-

Judy: Sure thing!

Ruby: Seriously?

Judy: Now,

We girls usually get into chaos, 

But with the (hugs Darlena and Ruby) three of us

We can get through them together,

Darlena: In this town called,

Well, ToonTown,

Ruby: We're strong, independent, but most importantly,

Minnie: We're toons!!!

Daisy: Exactly!

(The gang then joins in together as they sing the last verse)

The gang: What a brand new day of ToonTown,

Grand as it is great,

When it comes to Toontown,

What is it you can hate?

Oh, today's a perfect day,

Mickey: For another day of,

All: What a brand new day,

Minnie: In this amazing town called,

All: What a great new day,

In Toontown!

(the song ends, as all the toons scatter away)

Mickey: Ah. Good morning, ToonTown!

(The gang is relaxing at the cafe.)

Mickey: Great day, ain't it?

Minnie: It sure is, Mickey.

(The waiter arrives)

Waiter: What would you like?

Mickey: Fries, please.

Minnie: And I'd like a soda.

Waiter: Alright... what about the others? What would they like?

Goofy: Oh, I'd like bucket of chicken.

Donald: Me too.

Waiter: Sure thing.

Mickey: Thanks, sir.

Waiter: No problem.

(The waiter hands them their food)

Waiter: (walks away) Enjoy.

Mickey: Okay, guys, dig in.

(They all eat their food)

Goofy: Hey-a, Mick, you ever considered of... I don't know... Like a business, or a club... business?

Mickey: Huh, well, I've thought of it but didn't know where to start. I would look for some job opening but they ended up being strange or questionable.

(Flashback to Mickey looking for a job but they all ended up being a bit weird or a disaster.)

Goofy: Hm.

Mickey: I guess dreams can't always happen.

Minnie: Maybe, if you keep on trying and trying, maybe your dream will come true.

Mickey: Yeah, I think you're right.

(Then, another person came, and that person is Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse's creator and mentor.)

Walt Disney: Hey, gang. How are you this afternoon?

The Gang: Hey, Mr. Disney!

Mickey: We're okay. So, how’s your little daughter figure?

Walt Disney: Well, she's doing great. Just a little mishap or two. So, how's my favorite mouse doing?

Mickey: (chuckles) Doin’ well, sir.

Walt Disney: Great to know. (sits down with them) I've been planning on starting a... Well, y'know, a... a... a group. A club.

Mickey: A club, you say?

Walt Disney: Yep!

Mickey: I've been trying to get a job relating to that.

Walt Disney: Well good luck, youngsters, I'll be looking forward.

Goofy: We'll do the best we can to get it done sir.

Walt Disney: Very well. Now, everyone, why don't we just find ourselves a club and maybe we can build up the perfect place to all of the disneyverse...

(Everyone beam of their excitement)

Mickey: Of course sir, that'll do...

Walt Disney: Good to know.

Scene 2: Mickey discovers a dinner theater/Friend Meeting/Our Little Dream Club
(Scene shows Mickey Mouse driving around the town trying to find the perfect club so he can set it up. Each one he sees were either dinner and a show. As he look around town, he then noticed another club but it was different)

Mickey: Hmmm... I wonder what'd we have here?

(He got out of the car and looked at the club and noticed that the building hasn't been used for many years)

Mickey: Hm. Looks like you haven't been used for a long time.

(Mickey goes inside the building and discovers that everything's full of dust and a messing place)

Mickey: Aw geez... I really feel bad for you.... I better go tell the others about it.... And our master too....

(Mickey walks out of the building and drove back to his friends and explain to them about it)

Mickey: And so you see everyone... This building hasn't been use for like.... Forever!

Minnie: Oh dear, I feel bad for that place...

Daisy: Yeah, me too...

Ruby: Agree, like it hasn't been touched for years.

Donald: Yeah....

Goofy: What kind of person would leave that place and let it rot away?

Judy: No one knows, bud.

Darlena: Sounds disappointing, don't cha think?

Mickey: Yeah... Disappointing...

Ruby: So, why did you call this meeting for?

Mickey: To answer your question, Ruby, we are going to do something about it.

Donald: And how are we going to do that?

Mickey: Well, remember what Walt Disney said?

The rest: Yeah/Definitely/Yep!/About starting the club?

Mickey: Right! Now, We got to tell him about this old abandoned club.

The rest: Right!

(And so, Mickey and his friends went straight to find Disney and told him everything about the abandoned club.)

Walt Disney: Wow, this is perfect for the club!

Mickey: (huh? He doesn't seem so sad after all....)

Walt Disney: Although it could use some remodeling.

Mickey: Really?

Walt Disney: That's right my boy... Since you found the club that was not been used for years, maybe you should named it.

Mickey: Good idea, Mr. Disney!

Minnie: But what could you name it?

Mickey: Good point. But I've thinking of some like...

Club Mouse, ToonTown's Wondrous Club, or The Mouse Club

Play house, Club House, Or maybe Club for Toons

Cinema, Restaurant for characters or even Cartoon club,

Something unique like Mickey's fun house

Or maybe something with pizzazz like The Toony Club,

Just one good name

For the Our Little Dream Club!

Something must be good for this club,

Otherwise it'll be a mess,

Like Club of Mickey or Disney House,

But, we gotta think of a good name for

Our little dream club,

Like The Disney Club, or Disney Studio,

Or Disney La- Whatever the name could be,

For our little dream club!

When people come here when the doors open,

And crowds gain their interest by this,

Some would question "What's the name of this club",

They'll say to them... I don't know

Maybe, Sea Cartoon show, Cartoon Island diner, or Cartoon kit club

No, Holy Cartoon show

No, uh... A BBQ club

Or uh, A Toony Bar,

Or maybe,

Just anything,

Any name,

For our little dream club,

So many names,

So little time,

But there's so many good ideas,

So, I'll will write a list of all the names for

Our little dream club,

And it'll be perfect for

This little dream club of ours

Yes, for Our Little Dream Club!

(song end)

Walt Disney: I hope you'll find a solution.

Mickey: I will sir.

Walt Disney: Good luck then, my boy.

(Mickey leaves to start thinking of ideas for the theater club's new name. Walt Disney looked at the rest of the gang.)

Walt Disney: The rest of you, you head home while you think of a good design idea for the our club theater.

The rest: Sure thing/Yes, Mr. Disney/Anything, Mr. Disney.

Scene 3: Mickey's Idea/A Good ol' Plan/Meanwhile...
(At the waiting room, Mickey Mouse is thinking about the abandoned building he spotted)

Mickey: (thinking) Hmmmm.... I wonder what should we named this place....?

(Goofy and Donald showed up in the waiting room)

Donald: What'cha doing Mickey?

Mickey: Just trying to figure out the name of this place I found...

Goofy: Like what Mickey?

Mickey: Trying to figure out the name of that place I found. I never knew naming things could be this hard 'till now.

Donald: (looks at the notebook with names for the club) I can see why. (to Mickey) Uh, hey Mick.

Mickey: Yes Donald?

Donald: I've been thinking.... What would be like between a house and a mouse?

Mickey: 'Between a house and a mouse', you say?

Donald: Yeah, something like a place, like a home? the owner?

Mickey: What are you getting at Donald?

Donald: Well, you know how mouse and house both rhymes and make themselves a home, a restaurant, a club, and a movie.

Mickey: Yeah, I'm starting to get into it.

Donald: Think about it, Mick.

Mickey: (ponders and ponders until...) Donald, I think your on to something!

Donald: Really?

Mickey: Yep!

Donald: Well, what is it?

Goofy: Yeah, tell us!

Mickey: I think I found the perfect name for the place.... House of Mouse! What do you guys think?

Goofy: Hmmm.... I think that name for the place sounds.... Amazing!!

Donald: Yeah, me too.

Mickey: We gotta tell the others.

(So, Mickey and his two best friends to find the others and tell them about the name he picked for that abandoned building)

Ruby: Holy- WO-HOAH!

Judy: What a PUN! We should totally use it.

Ruby: Mm-hm.

Minnie: I think it's a great name for the club.

Mickey: Gee, thanks, Minnie.

Daisy: I guess we should start with Phase 2 of the Club plan, 'redesigning the club'.

Darlena: I could find each category for the club. What do you think?

Mickey: Well, Darlena, there's a good ol' trick in every book

There's always a good ol' idea for its brand new look,

There's sometimes a good ol' thought for anything,

Some could have its ups and downs too,

And it even could be a crazy little thing,

And if there's one thing,

One special thing,

we gotta need for our club,

Our,

Well...

We should make a good ol’ plan for designing,

We should make a good ol' plan for the guests,

We should make a good ol' plan for the grand opening,

We should make a good ol' plan for incoming co-workers,

We should make a good ol' plan for our roles in this club,

Alright, gang, let's make a plan!

We should rebuild the club,

And give it more pizzazz,

And fix its charm

And make it more calm,

We'll rebuild its self-esteem

We'll give it more boost,

And help it redeem,

We shall make a good ol' plan for this club

We must think of a good ol' plan for the dinner theater,

And we must think of something

Anything for this club!

Goofy: I like the sound of that! If we're going to make a plan,

We better get to thinking,

We gotta find some points for it,

We gotta grab a notebook and start writing,

A lot of plans and memos and possibly pros and cons,

We gotta invite some workers and our family and friends,

We better get a-

Ruby: Move on,

And start working on this club,

So it won't be wrong,

Daisy: We gotta give this place more fashion,

Minnie: We gotta give it more taste in music,

Judy: And we gotta give it more passion,

Donald: We should work on its design,

Ruby: We should fix its rooms,

Goofy: We should give it a redesign,

Darlena: That's what he said but,

We should give it more light,

Mickey: And more shine,

Donald: Though it might cause a plight,

The gang: We should make a good ol' plan,

For our club,

We gotta make a good ol' plan,

To make this more glam,

We better think of a plan,

A good ol' plan,

To repair the abandoned

We gotta think of a good ol' plan,

For this broken-down club,

We gotta,

Think,

Of a,

Good,

Ol',

Plan!

Mickey: Come on, guys, let's make a good ol' plan!

(The gang started to talk about the House of Mouse and how to rebuild it.)

Mickey: Okay, so, first, we'll hold job applications, then we clean up the dinner theater, then redecorate it, hold a grand opening, and we make this the happiest club in Toontown. Minnie, think of pattern designs for the House of Mouse.

Minnie: (writes it down) On it!

Mickey: Daisy, you make help wanted posters and the invitations, got it?

Daisy: Of course.

Mickey: Donald, Goofy, I have a job that's been particular suited to you two.

Goofy: Sure, anything for our friends.

Donald: You can count on us, too!

Mickey: Thanks, guys. Girls, I need one of you to get some cleaning materials for when we clean up while the two of you help us find workers.

Darlena: Sure thing, Mickey.

Judy: Happy to help!

Ruby: Wait, two?

Mickey: And I'll be delighted to help you guys. Hopefully, Mr. Disney will be please, I don't think.

Minnie: Oh he will, just wait.

Mickey: Thanks, Min.

(Later, in the evening, Walt Disney was making a phone call)

Walt Disney: Yes. Okay. You'll see what you can do? Okay then. Great. Great. Okay then. I think I could just see it, first thing in the morning. (Hangs up the phone)

Pete: Am I interrupting something?

Walt Disney: Well, no. I was just calling someone to have a close look on the building when we- [turns around to see Pete] Oh, Pete! Hey, uh what are you doing here?

Pete: I was just about to pick up my box when I heard something about a dinner theater

Walt Disney: Oh, of course, Mickey and his friends have found a dinner theater which they'll call it, House of Mouse.

Pete: House of Wha-?!

Walt Disney: House of Mouse, Mickey and his friends named that place and they'll planned to build it so everyone could go in there and enjoy it, how's that sound?

Pete: U-uh, i-it is pretty great. A-and it-

Walt Disney: Looks fantastic, yeah I know.

Pete: Yeah... Fantastic. (walks away before running and closing the door) He- He- did not just- (takes out a picture of the abandoned building that Mickey found) Oh gosh dang it! That mouse found out about that abandoned building that I was going to destroy! Well, since I owned it and I didn't tell Walt Disney yet, I'll make sure of that. (looks back at Walt) Maybe I should tell him later. Or not... (leaves)

Scene 4: For Hire/Inside the Abandoned Dinner Theater/Almost There
(At Toontown, Mickey has called everyone for hire to come work at House of Mouse)

Judy: Can't believe we're helping Mick to find co-workers. This will be definitely be the greatest.

Goofy: Well yeah, it would be amazing if you ask me.

Minnie: It would be really exciting.

Ruby: Unless if someone here is a scammer or something.

Judy: No they wouldn't be, Ruby.

Mickey: It was kind of you to help me out with the job.

Darlena: Huh. He-he, no- no problem, we're- yeah.

Mickey: Now, when someone finds this, what should we do?

Minnie: We- we- we camp out, I get some snacks, we re-do the whole thing, and if they catch us, we repeat the cycle.

Mickey: Exactly!

Ruby: Wait, cycle?

(Then, they go around town, looking for people to hire; they go to Clarabelle first)

Clarabelle: Hm?

Judy: Hey-ya Clarabelle! We are looking for people to work and help us out.

Clarabelle: Oh. Mm. What for? I- (chuckles) I-I'm here to h- (chuckles)

Ruby: It's for a club but not like a clubhouse but a dinner theater. And we kinda... Well, (takes out note) are looking for 3 or more co-workers.

Clarabelle: Really?

Judy: Yep! And also.... I planned a design. Y'know.

Mickey: She's.. yeah.

Ruby: (takes the design sheet out of Ruby's pocket) She assisted that I should look after it.

(They look at it)

Mickey: Isn't it splendid?

Clarabelle: Oh dear, oh dear, it-it needs-

Ruby: (mutters) A lot of work.

Judy: Luckily, we asked Darlena to get the supplies!

Clarabelle: Oh, that's nice.

Ruby: We'll be washing the building from top to bottom.

Clarabelle: Oh dear...

Judy: But we have our friends to help.

Clarabelle: Oh, okay!

Ruby: It'll take an hour.

(Clarabelle stayed silent)

Ruby: It's a problem.

Clarabelle: Can I still work for you guys?

Mickey: Of course you can.

Clarabelle: Thanks!

Mickey: Don't mention it.

Judy: Just remember! 3:23, cleaning duty with us.

Clarabelle: Got it!

(Later, at Goofy's house)

Goofy:

Mickey:

(Meanwhile, Mickey is having a daydream about the club, when he starts to sing "Almost There")

Mickey: Momma, I don't have time for dancin',

That's just gonna have to wait a while,

Ain't got time for messin' around,

And it's not my style,

This whole town can slow you down,

People taking the easy way,

But I know exactly where I'm going,

Getting closer 'n closer everyday,

And I'm almost there!

I'm almost there,

People down here think I'm crazy,

But I don't care,

Trials and tribulations,

Have had my share,

There ain't nothing gonna stop me now,

 'Cause I'm almost there!

I remember daddy told me,

Fairytales can come true,

You've gotta make them happen,

It all depends on you!

So I work real hard each and everyday,

Now things for sure are going my way,

Just doing what I do,

Look out boys, I'm coming through!

And I'm almost there!

I'm almost there,

People don't come here from everywhere,

And I'm almost there!

And I'm almost there!

There's been trials and tribulations,

You know I've had my share,

But I've climbed the mountain, I've crossed the river,

And I'm almost there!

I'm almost there!

I'm almost there!

Scene 1: Convincing Scrooge McDuck/Star of the Show/Role Reveals
(At the McDuck Manor, Mickey, Goofy, and Donald, went inside to the world's richest duck and Donald's favorite uncle, Scrooge McDuck)

Scrooge: Ah if it isn't my favorite nephew of all the Toontown, Donald and his two best friends, what can I do for ya?

Donald: Uncle Scrooge, guess what? We found the perfect building for the dinner-theater, we call it the House of Mouse!

Mickey: And we're looking forward to hire you to work at the club.

Goofy: That's right. And we're hoping if you could do anything for us.

Donald: Yeah.

Mickey: Please Mr. Scrooge, will you consider our help?

Scrooge: Well, uh... s-say that again?

Mickey: We want you to- we need- yeah.

Scrooge: Hire? You mean hire.

Mickey: (nods) Yes.

Scrooge: Well, mm...

Mickey: For money! For money! Yeah- we're doing it for money! Y-y-y'see...?

Scrooge: Money?

Mickey: Mm-hm. For money.

Scrooge: So, we're doing this for money? Just like those executives?

Mickey: Well, yeah.

Scrooge: Then, uh, yeah, count me in. Why-why don't you come on in for a bit?

(They go into Scrooge's mansion)

Donald: So, we've been thinking Uncle Scrooge, we wanted to make this place greater then we expected, and it'll be the most awesomeness dinner/theater we've ever had!

Mickey: That's right.

Scrooge: Hm, hm- hm- I- I see.

Donald: Just think Uncle, it'll be the most grandest building of all time!

Scrooge: Well, I would like the sound of the idea my nephew.

Donald: And it'll be great show if we go watch in movies, no wait, a dinner-theater!

Rebecca: Yeah!

Mickey: I kinda agree with your Nephew Mr. Scrooge, it'll be a wonderful idea.

Scrooge: TBD

Mickey: TBD

Donald: TBD
