The Exposition Hall to use Fastpass!
A very nice and unusual news from the Magic Kingdom.
Take a look at what we will be able to experience at the Exposition Hall, once the new (and enormous) meet-and-greet area in the back of the building opens: - from the Disney Parks Blog:
Mickey FASTPASS: Guests Will Be Able To Determine a Time To Meet Mickey Mouse Beginning This Spring at Magic Kingdom
How about this: For the first time at Disney Parks, you’ll have the opportunity to nail down a time for a face-to-face meeting with Mickey Mouse at the Walt Disney World Resort. Beginning this spring, we’ll be offering FASTPASS for Mickey at his new permanent home, Town Square Theater, located inside the current Exposition Hall area at the entrance of Magic Kingdom park.
Once open, it’ll be more than just a new greeting space for Mickey. Imagineers are creating new elements and surprises for Magic Kingdom park guests, including an interactive queue – with an extra touch of Disney magic. Also, during the New Fantasyland construction, royalty will be visiting as the Disney Princesses will be in Town Square Theater to meet and greet their loyal subjects this spring.
How will it work? Magic Kingdom guests will be able obtain a Disney’s FASTPASS 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. This marks the first time the complimentary, computerized service has been utilized for a character meet-and-greet at any Disney Park.
Walt Disney Imagineers are already working to completely transform the space for the new experience. Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for more updates on this one-of-a-kind experience.
So, what do you think about it? I personally like this, and the idea of having an interactive queue really makes me want to check it out much more... But, all this to meet Mickey and pals?! Wow, I can't imagine the queue for the new Seven Dwarfs Mine or the Little Mermaid!
I think it's great for 2 reasons. First, it's a nice "guarantee" of meeting the Mouse if you have little kiddos and 2nd it will free up more Fast Passes in the rest of the system! :)
