Re: 20th | Meet Mickey Mouse (May 2012)

Postby Anthony » Fri Apr 06, 2012 1:24 pm

Here are a couple of videos...

First some exterior shots of the real Meet Mickey Mouse in Fantasyland, seen on 31st March when they temporarily removed the walls to let the preview tour groups in, and again on 2nd April when the skies were bluer but the walls returned (with notices pointing all the way to Frontierland!):

Second, a quick video walk through the temporary Meet Mickey Mouse in Frontierland.


YouTube link

It's nowhere near as much of an "experience" as the actual attraction is going to be, but I do think it's much nicer meeting characters in these more private spaces. I would have never met Mickey if it meant queueing up on Town Square and having people in the queue stare at me while posing for the photo...

Only downside (besides the gravel around the queue line, which kids kept playing with while their parents watched!?) is the very very short background music loop. I still have it in my head now. The Fantasyland Meet Mickey won't have an area loop according to what we were told, just the sounds of the cartoons playing in the queue.

If the Fantasyland location is only for Mickey, it'd be quite nice if Minnie or some of the other gang stayed here.

In all my previous visits to the park, I was never able to take a picture with Mickey; the queue at Casey's Corner photoplace was always very long; this Meet and Greet may have a similar waiting time?

I believe that this meet and greet will have the capability to have more than one Mickey 'meeting and greeting' at one time :idea:

Yes this was hinted somewhere official.

So excited for this but I'll be going to the temporary place in 2 weeks where there is only 1 there at the moment...I mean there only is one Mickey anyway right? ;)

Ah...that would make sense actually. Hadn't thought about that.

Althought it will seems a bit strange to know that there will be 3 available Mickeys.... But sure it will be better for having a shorter queue line!

Ok, fine then.
In this Meet n' Greet, it will be also possible to get autographs from Mickey? And by the way, you can only get autographs if you have the "official autographs block note" and pen bought in the shops of the resort, or it is possible to have an autographs just with a normal piece of paper and a pencil?

You can get an autograph , ofcourse. You don't need to a book and a pencil , but it has to be hard enough so the character can write on it.

Hi, if it's anything like in the Princess Pavilion you'll be able to take your own pictures but there will be a professional there too. I'm not sure if it was done on purpose to encourage photo sales but in the Pavilion the lighting is quite poor and our own photo's didn't turn out too well (mind you, we were just using our iPhone4's) whereas the professional ones turned out great!

Hope this helps.

I'm glad to see this posted as for our trip in November I was planning to buy hardback notebooks (A5 size) to take with us to save a little money while we're there.

Thanks!

I am also glad to read this; I think that I will take a small notebook from home in my next visit.
Since it will be possible also to take our pictures, how many minutes will last the meeting with Mickey? I know that maybe it's too early for such informations....

When we met the princesses, the princess (Belle in our case) talked to my children for over 5 minutes but we were not rushed at all and it was me that said it was time to leave as lots of other people were waiting.
