Mickey Mouse, along with Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy and sometimes Pluto, meet Funny, an enchanted and energetic talking funhouse who resides in the Funhouse Forest outside of Hot Dog Hills, alongside his pet doghouse Teddy and a sentient weathervane named Windy.
After Mickey and his friends (who are sometimes referred to as the "Funhouse Friends") climb the Stairs to Anywhere, Funny magically transports them from the Adventure Doors to a range of Adventure Worlds which allows them to embark on adventures unique to the Adventure Worlds that include but aren't limited to Majestica, Sunny Gulch, Halloweenville, the Adventure Sea Islands, the Land of Myth and Legend, and Herotropolis as they assume the outfits associated with each of the Adventure Worlds. It is in these Adventure Worlds where they also meet its inhabitants and alter-egos of characters they know. In addition, they also learn some morals regarding the episode's content as Funny would manifest a trophy to remember their trip afterwards.
Every episode includes one or two dance breaks. With the exception of half-hour specials, there is a "Stretch Break" dance that occurs in between the two segments of the episodes. At the end of each episode including the specials, the characters dance along to the "Wiggle Giggle" song.
