If you're looking for Mickey Mouse at the Magic Kingdom, just think abracadabra.

Starting Friday, Mickey will greet guests at the Town Square Theater, just inside the theme park's entrance.

Disney redid the interior of the building so that guests feel like they're in a turn-of-the-20th-century theater that features a magic show starring none other than the big cheese himself.

Mickey then greets his guest in a "rehearsal room," complete with stage props and trunks.

There's a little more magic in store for visitors too: no standby lines. The Mickey meet-and-greet will be the first Disney character experience that uses FASTPASS, which lets park goers get a specific return time to meet Mickey, instead of waiting in a line.

The same building will also house a princess meet-and-greet for a short time, while Disney works on a major addition to Fantasyland.
 
I got to preview this on Weds and it was great. Very cute, fun que, and a cute new shop too.
There will be fast passes which they did not have on Weds during the preview.
 
We will be there in 13 days. Can't wait to check this out. My kids hate lines so we usually avoid character meets so this will hopefully work out perfectly. :thumbsup2
 

The fast pass is a great option for those with kids who just can't stay still, but I think the character meals are the best option for those families.

Does anyone know how many Mickeys they typically had doing the meet and greet on a busy day over at the judges tent? With the speed of the line, my guess is two, but I think they could have gone for 3. My sister's boys, although great on their own, were literally climbing her and throwing punches at each other out of boredom waiting for over an hour. :3dglasses Needless to say, she was mortified. I still have to introduce her to the concept of character meals - no line involved :goodvibes
