PHOTOS, VIDEO: Mickey Mouse Meet and Greet Returns to Town Square Theater as ‘Character Sighting’ at Magic Kingdom

Traditional character meet-and-greets at Walt Disney World have been suspended since March 2020 due to COVID-19. Characters have been appearing outdoors in cavalcades and special distanced appearances, and indoors at select restaurants. Mickey Mouse is now the first character to return to his dedicated indoor meet-and-greet location for a character “sighting.”

Mickey is appearing in his EARidescent 50th anniversary outfit. A new 50th anniversary-themed backdrop has also been added behind him, covering his vanity.

Mickey would usually appear on the other side of the room, in front of red curtains, while the PhotoPass photographer would stand in this area.

Each party gets a few minutes to talk to Mickey and take photos.
