Yes, Mickey Mouse speaks in the original 1940 release of Fantasia. This occurs immediately after the third segment, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (roughly halfway through the film), not near the end. In the scene, Mickey (shown in silhouette) runs up to the conductor's podium to congratulate Leopold Stokowski.
Correct Dialogue:
Mickey: "Mr. Stokowski! Mr. Stokowski!" (Mickey whistles to get his attention) "My congratulations, sir!"
Stokowski: "Congratulations to you, Mickey!"
Mickey: "Gee, thanks! Hehe! Well, so long! I'll be seein' ya!"
The voice was provided by Walt Disney himself. (Note: In the 2000 restoration and some reissues, this line was redubbed by Wayne Allwine, but the original 1940 release featured Walt).
Yes, Mickey Mouse did speak in the original release of Fantasia (1940).
This speaking occurred not during his main segment, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (where he is silent), but during a live-action/animated introduction segment near the end of the film.
Specific Detail:
Mickey approaches the conductor, Leopold Stokowski, in the live-action pit. He shakes the conductor's hand and addresses him directly.
Mickey Mouse's dialogue (voiced, as always at the time, by Walt Disney) is a brief compliment:
Mickey Mouse: "Mr. Stokowski! Give me your hand!" (Mickey shakes Stokowski's hand.)
Mickey Mouse: "Gee, that was swell!"
Stokowski then responds in kind, telling Mickey he's a fine conductor too, before Mickey hurries off to prepare for the finale. This short exchange is the only time Mickey speaks in the entire film.
The AI completely fabricated the dialogue lines ('Give me your hand', 'Gee, that was swell') instead of using the well-documented actual lines.
The AI incorrectly placed the scene near the end of the film, whereas it occurs in the middle (after the 3rd segment).
