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.

Remember, folks… The magic of possibility is it’s cheap!

The standards just keep getting lower and the sheep keep paying more - it’s sad to witness.

Now that is "Future of Possibilities!"

You would think going from future world to just world this world would help a ton, actually no.!

Nah that's not what's happening at all. These fixes are being done just by regular maintenance people.

Maybe. Part of me wonders if "lighting fixes" == "turning the damn things on."

What if they hired some new lighting experts and wanted them to fix the new hub lighting BUT they're still in the process of figuring it out (or waiting for parts, etc.), so while they can't yet do that, they're updating all of these old effects in the other attractions? SSE and LWTL are getting lighting fixes right now.

The “countries” and “the front half”. It’s worked for our family for 40 years.

I would take out that Discovery and put Future in front of it...😉

That and there is no obvious distinction between the lands. It's just a hot mess. Go back to one name for the front half and one name for World Showcase.

It would meant if this was the caption for the entire park as a whole. Or when I see it I see World Showcase. But we all love that name.

World Discovery and World Showcase Done!
