Orlando, Fla. — The Walt Disney World News Today confirms rumors that the talking Mickey Mouse at the meet and greet in the Town Square Theater at the Magic Kingdom will be silenced on May 12th, 2018.

The talking Mickey, which debuted back in October of 2013, will be changed due to various reasons. Some of these include technical difficulties and guest confusion due to other Mickey characters in the park being unable to communicate.

Mickey Mouse will still continue to meet guests, sign autographs and take picture, but he will likely not be able to speak to guests.
