At a glance
Meet Mickey Mouse Photographs is the photo spot for meeting Mickey, in Fantasyland, at the exit of the Meet Mickey Mouse attraction. This service shop is entirely given over to selling the photos taken during the meet and greet.
Inside, the attraction recreates the backstage area of the theatre of "Mickey the Magnificent", a fictional magician inspired by the cartoon Magician Mickey (1937): an auditorium with a stage, balconies and a red curtain, a corridor lined with posters of the shorts on show and a dressing room packed with nods to all things Disney, from the touring trunk and stickers from the other Disney parks to books of spells and the sorcerer’s hat.
The photo spot fills the final corridor: desks let you browse the digital photos taken automatically during the meet and greet, choose printed or digital versions and add them to Disney PhotoPass+, the bundle that gathers all the photos of your trip.
The official photo of your meet and greet with Mickey. Set at the exit of Meet Mickey Mouse in Fantasyland, this photo spot handles only the professional photos taken while you pose in Mickey’s dressing room. It opened on 16 May 2012 as part of the Disneyland Paris twentieth anniversary celebrations, and your photos can be added to PhotoPass+.
What you’ll find
History
The attraction and its photo point opened on 16 May 2012, as part of Disneyland Paris’s twentieth anniversary (the opening, planned for 1 April, had been postponed). The building is the former Fantasy Festival Stage, a Victorian theatre from 1992 that hosted C’est Magique, En Scène, S’il Vous Plaît ! and Le Noël de Mickey in turn, then the Winnie the Pooh shows between 2006 and 2010.

Your questions about this shop
01 Where can you shop for Disney merchandise at Disneyland Paris?
You have four main options: the shops in Disneyland Park (mainly on Main Street U.S.A. and in each land), the shops in Disney Adventure World, the shops in Disney Village (no park ticket needed) and your hotel shop if you’re staying at an official Disney Hotel. I go through the main shops in my dedicated article.
02 Can you shop without carrying your bags all day?
Yes. The Shopping Service lets you have your purchases sent to a collection point, to pick up later in the shop, or as you leave the park in another shop, or even in the shop at your Disney Hotel. The service is free in most shops (above a minimum spend). Just ask the sales assistant when you pay.
03 What are the shops’ opening hours?
The shops in the parks roughly follow the parks’ opening hours, often opening a little earlier on Main Street U.S.A. and closing a little later after the night-time show. The Disney Village shops have their own opening hours, usually later into the evening. The exact times are in the Disneyland Paris app.
04 Can you order Disneyland Paris merchandise online?
There’s no official Disneyland Paris online shop. To buy from home, you can go to the Disney Store website (formerly shopDisney), which sells official Disney merchandise and sometimes a few Disneyland Paris-specific products. At the resort, you buy directly in the shops.
