Cast Member previews began today at EPCOT for the new Mickey & Friends character meet and greet location in World Celebration.

Here is a look inside from TikTok user maddiebell03.

The Mickey & Friends meet and greet follows the Character Spot setup, with separate sets for each of the three characters—currently Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy—all dressed in their standard costumes.

Mickey & Friends is located in CommuniCore Hall, replacing the former Character Spot, and will open to guests on June 10, 2024.

    I would assume the vendor was wholly responsible for at least the initial attempt, so there’s probably not much money being wasted on it. In fact, I imagine they’ll be able to recover a portion of what they paid for it if it never works.

    Again, power washing isn’t just one thing.

    I did hear that over the summer Zach is going to be out there nightly with a flashlight.

    They're installing strobe lights on the surrounding light poles.

    So at what point do they actually fix it and stop wasting money on band aids that aren’t working?

    I don't give a rat's butt who's fault it is. Stop pointing fingers and fix the damn thing.

    Yes that section of the park seems to be very much like what happened with the daytime Harmonious fountain show. The reality just did not match up with what was presented by WDI. I know very high-ups were absolutely shocked with the World Showcase lagoon situation.

    And even when it worked, it only had the desired effect at night. Unlike Fountains and water features which look great in the day as well.

    And the planter is a disaster. The idea of a planter wasn't great to begin with, but then they made it about as bland as it could possibly be. Neither the planter itself nor any of the landscaping inside is even slightly impressive or interesting.

    And even if it was related to power washing, the lighting system chosen should have been one that could handle high temperatures, sun, and some power washing.
