Guests can meet Mickey Mouse in Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. Each Walt Disney World Resort has a unique, designated Mickey meet-and-greet spot, but Magic Kingdom’s may be the most exciting.

Upon entering the Disney Park, Guests are met with the sprawling 20th-century city, full of shops offering merchandise, souvenirs, and snacks. Not only that, but the beautiful Cinderella Castle stands in the distance, simply waiting for Guests to enter Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland.
