It's tough. With the classic characters, they were never meant to have one set "canon" so to speak. They were always malleable figures, meant to be portrayed in whatever occupation, living space, etc. that the writers/story demanded. That's why we can have a series of shorts where Mickey is a medieval tailor in one, and a modern-day Hollywood resident in the next with no one batting an eye. The only thing truly canon about them are their definitive personalities (Mickey's nobility, Donald's aggression, etc.) It's always why we can have Donald living in Duckburg where there's essentially no such thing as Mickey Mouse (DuckTales), and then jump to another show where Donald and Mickey are in the same neighborhood (Mouse Works).

Now, I do see a possibility of simply ignoring anything that has them roleplaying (KH, Three Musketeers, things like that). House of Mouse, Epic Mickey, and the Mickey shorts are pretty much just the classic characters living normal lives as actors. But since they're cartoons and meta in nature, fantastical things can happen like the fourth wall breaking or crossovers with other Disney characters. And that last aspect, the meta nature of them, is something that can't really be ignored.

It's an interesting topic that should probably be addressed, so I'm open to hearing more from you.
