Location: Magic Kingdom (Main Street U.S.A.)
Costume: Magician
PhotoPass available: Yes

Good use of FastPass+: When Mickey talked this used to be a good use of FastPass+ but now that he is silent we only recommend it if meeting Mickey at Magic Kingdom is a “must do” for you
Other characters available: You can also meet Tinker Bell at Town Square Theater, but you will have to stand in a separate line
Notes: During Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Mickey meets here in his holiday attire.

Imagination! Pavilion

Where to meet Mickey Mouse at Disney World

Location: Epcot (Future World)

    We are wanting to meet talking Mickey on our next trip in February 2018. Since the area for this is Main Street and Main Street now opens an hour before the park. Do you think we will be able to meet Mickey early or get in line early?
