Since Mickey returned to his Town Square Theater location for meet and greets, he has been accompanied by a PhotoPass photographer. Now, the Automated PhotoPass camera is once again responsible for capturing guests’ memories instead of a Cast Member.

A character attendant directs guests to smile at the bookshelf where the camera is located.

After your photo is taken, you can tap your MagicBand or PhotoPass card at the machine once you’ve found your party’s photo. In the above photo, you can see our result. The photo is taken at a slight angle at a wide distance to allow for large parties.

Mickey is now posing in front of a new 50th anniversary backdrop instead of the red curtain. We took some photos of our own to capture the new set.

The new backdrop features a “magical” effect where sparkles come from the hat on Mickey’s left and light up a “50” over the Mickey Mouse emblem.

What do you think of the return of Automated PhotoPass cameras? Let us know in the comments.
