Magician Mickey Mouse New Meet-and-Greet
Mickey
Mouse now reigns at a new location in Magic Kingdom to meet and greet his
friends. The fun takes place at the Town Square Theater presented by Kodak,
located just inside the Magic Kingdom entrance. Previously known as Town
Square Exposition Hall, the venue has been re-imagined as a
turn-of-the-Twentieth-Century theater where Mickey is the star of a magic
show. Guests can go backstage for photos and autographs without waiting in a
standby queue! Mickey's new location in the park heralds the first-ever use
of Disney's FASTPASS Service for a character meet-and-greet experience.
