Talking Mickey at Magic Kingdom to end May 12, 2018 According to sources, the talking Mickey Mouse meet and greet in Town Square Theater at the Magic Kingdom will indeed be silenced on May 12th, 2018. This decision likely has been made for a variety of reasons, some being technical difficulties and overall guest confusion since other Mickey characters in the park do not talk to guests. There is also likely budgetary reasons as the entertainer contracts for this venue were higher than many others. In my opinion, this was a very unique offering by Disney and will be a loss for the park. Kids marveled at the talking aspect. Mickey will continue to meet guests at this location beyond May 12th, but he will likely no longer communicate with guests.
