Hi, there!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Beth. We just love helping you plan your upcoming Disney vacation!
What's a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort without a hug and a photo with Mickey Mouse? He is certainly in high demand, so that's why he spends all day meeting Guests in different locations in and out of the theme parks. I'm sure he's exhausted with all that running around! I know Mickey is as excited about meeting you as you are about meeting him, so I'm happy to tell you that you should have no trouble getting a quick visit in during your short stay. While the last day of
Mickey and Minnie's Surprise Celebration event at Town Square Theater is scheduled for September 30, 2019, it's expected that Mickey will continue to meet Guests at this location as he has for several years! And at
Epcot, Mickey Mouse will temporarily move to Innovations West to meet with Guests before he moves to a new location at the Imagination! pavilion. Isn't that great news?
Be sure to grab a Times Guide when you arrive at Magic Kingdom Park and Epcot. These flyers will have up-to-date information about times and locations for Character Greetings. You can also find this information on the
My Disney Experience mobile app!
My absolute favorite spot to visit Mickey Mouse is at
Chef Mickey's. This popular
Character Dining Experience is located at Disney's Contemporary Resort, which means that theme park admission isn't required for a dining reservation! My family loves Chef Mickey's because the all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet has lots of delicious options. We also love the fantastic company of the "Fab Five!"
I hope this was helpful, Beth. Please visit us again soon with any new questions you may have about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
