On August 27, 1998, the former Walt Disney Theater became the Town Square Exposition Hall, which was “home to photographic marvels, images and innovations". Sponsored by Kodak, the new building housed a series of photography inspired exhibits. When guests entered the Exposition Hall, they found themselves in the Hall of Still Images. Here guests could take souvenir photos in front of various backdrops, and see vintage photography equipment dating back to the 1800s. At the end of the hallway, guests could still find the Bill Justice mural.
Exiting the theater, guests walked through the Hall of Digital Technology. Here they could see the "image expo" which featured different vintage photos taken in Walt Disney World. Finally, guests would exit into the Kodak Camera Center, where they could purchase camera merchandise. The Town Square Exhibition Hall closed April 2, 2010.

With the closure of Mickey's Toontown Fair on February 11, 2011, Disney knew it needed a new location for a permanent Mickey Mouse meet and greet. To solve this problem, the Town Square Exhibition Hall was refurbished, eventually reopening on April 1, 2011 as the Town Square Theater.
