On our last trip to EPCOT Center we saw a small group of people quite a ways down an alley between the American Pavilion and the Italian Pavilion. To our surprise the big cheese dressed smartly in his classic tuxedo was holding court with anyone who cared to meet him! We joined a brief line and had a charming visit with Mickey Mouse himself! There was no fanfare or signage...just 2 cast member handlers (no photopass photographer). We love meet & greets and recall fondly the less structured versions you typically find at Disneyland in California. But we have gotten used to the longer lines and more formal backgrounds you find at Walt Disney World. So we were really surprised to find the legendary mouse halfway down an empty alley(albeit a lavishly landscaped and clean alley) and with essentially no wait! It was the sort of impromptu visit we remembered from Disneyland. Mickey was of course a gracious gentleman and we were thrilled to meet him.
UPDATE: after receiving social media feedback we have been informed that we stumbled on to a character training session! There are several Out of the way locations where this happens, but this was a first for us! We will keep our eyes posted for these in the future!
