Walls have been installed inside the Magic Eye Theatre lobby at EPCOT for an upcoming Annual Passholder-exclusive meet and greet. The special greeting will be part of V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days 2026.
Passholder Meet and Greet
The walls surround the former Mickey meet and greet space. They’re gray with colorful borders and images from Disney and Pixar short films, matching the rest of the theater, which is home to the Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival.
The walls don’t reach the ceiling, but keep the space cordoned off from non-Passholder guests. They appear to be temporary so Disney can remove them after the summer meet and greet. Right now, stanchions block the entrance located between two walls.
Disney said Passholders will meet “some of Mickey Mouse’s best pals” but didn’t announce specific characters. The meet and greet will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days from May 1 through July 31.
Over the walls, we can still see the film reel-inspired backdrop that has been in place for several years. We don’t know if the backdrop will change at all.
Outside, the doors below the Stand-By Entrance sign are blocked by ropes. Guests can enter the theater through the center doors. The Stand-By doors may become the meet and greet’s entrance or exit.
The meet and greet sign at the end of the ramp is blank. It’s above another sign pointing to the Figment meet and greet inside the Imagination! pavilion.
V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days offerings also include the Passholder Lounge at Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco pavilion, special dining discounts, a Toy Story Passholder magnet, a special popcorn bucket, and Passholder merchandise.
