Disney's FASTPASS To Be Available for Meet-and-Greet for First Time
 Magic
Kingdom officials have a hunch a really "hot ticket" in their realm this
summer is going to be something other than a ride, a snack or a show.
Rather, it's a first-ever opportunity to nail down a time to meet with
Mickey Mouse. When meet-and-greets with Mickey move into a permanent new
location in Town Square later this spring, Magic Kingdom guests will be able
obtain a Disney's FASTPASS ticket specifying a one-hour window when they can
return to see the popular character for hugs, photos and autographs --
without waiting in the standby queue. It will mark the first time the
complimentary, computerized service has been available for a character
meet-and-greet at any Disney Park.
