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.

Looks like the problem is fixed! Great job everyone! 🙃 ...I wonder if it's sealed into the ground or just a temp replacement...one of those would tell if there's a chance of the lighting being repaired.

Power washing was outlawed in Scandinavia as part of the 2003 Concrete Covenant.

The walkway looks a bit dirty. You know what it needs?...

Hey there, Imagineering! Here's a good example of how embedded lighting can work, along with some kinetics to boot! https://bsky.app/profile/brenttoderian.bsky.social/post/3lb3hutprgs25

Maybe that's why this darn show won't go away. "The Celebración will continue until the morale improves!"

I have just returned from 10 days at WDW. Next planned trip will be April 2027. If they put up the construction walls now then hopefully they can get it all reconstructed by the time I next visit...

So can we finally call this Future World a bust yet?? How many years of walls for this cluster$#%#? I'm struggling to think of any land-sized revamp that could be any more wasteful and anti-climatic than this has been.
