At a glance
Meet Mickey Mouse Photographs is the photo counter for meeting Mickey, in Fantasyland, at the exit of Meet Mickey Mouse. This service shop is dedicated entirely to selling the pictures taken during the meet and greet.
Inside, the attraction recreates the backstage area of the theater of "Mickey the Magnificent," a made-up magician inspired by the cartoon Magician Mickey (1937): an auditorium with a stage, balconies, and a red curtain, a hallway lined with posters of the shorts being screened, and a dressing room packed with nods to the Disney universe, from his touring suitcase and stickers from other Disney parks to magic books and the sorcerer’s hat.
The photo counter fills the final hallway: kiosks let you browse the digital shots taken automatically during the meet and greet, choose printed or digital versions, and add them to Disney PhotoPass+, the bundle that gathers every photo from your trip.
Your official photo from meeting Mickey. Located at the exit of Meet Mickey Mouse in Fantasyland, this photo counter handles only the professional pictures taken while you pose in Mickey’s dressing room. It opened on May 16, 2012, as part of the Disneyland Paris twentieth anniversary celebration, and your photos can be added to PhotoPass+.
What you’ll find
History
The attraction and its photo counter opened on May 16, 2012, as part of the Disneyland Paris twentieth anniversary (the opening, first planned for April 1, had been pushed back). The building used to be the Fantasy Festival Stage, a Victorian-style theater from 1992 that hosted C’est Magique, En Scène, S’il Vous Plaît !, and Le Noël de Mickey in turn, followed by Winnie the Pooh shows between 2006 and 2010.

Your questions about this shop
01 Where can you buy Disney merchandise at Disneyland Paris?
There are four main places to shop: Disneyland Park (Main Street U.S.A. above all, plus every land), Disney Adventure World, Disney Village (open to everyone, no park ticket required), and, if you book an official Disney hotel, the shop inside your hotel. My dedicated article walks you through the main shops.
02 Is there a way to shop without lugging bags around all day?
Yes. The Shopping Service lets you have your purchases sent to a pickup point, so you can collect them later at the same shop, at another shop on your way out of the park, or even at your Disney hotel’s shop. The service is free in most shops (with a minimum purchase). Just ask the cast member at checkout.
03 What are the shop hours?
Shops inside the parks roughly follow park hours, often opening a little earlier on Main Street U.S.A. and closing a little later after the nighttime show. Disney Village shops have their own hours, usually running later into the evening. You’ll find the exact hours in the Disneyland Paris app.
04 Can you buy Disneyland Paris merchandise online?
There’s no official Disneyland Paris online store. To shop from home, you can use the Disney Store website (formerly shopDisney), which sells official Disney merchandise and sometimes a few items specific to Disneyland Paris. At the resort itself, you buy everything directly in the shops.
