Character meet and greet ??

[Tidus]

I am getting a Disney Visa and was wondering about the Visa Meet & Greet that they have for cardholders. How often do they have it? Where is it held? Is it worth going to? Thanks!

It's well worth it. It is in one of the Innoventions buildings in Epcot. The times are posted - I think it's ususally something like 1:00 to 5:00. Only one family at a time into a private room with 2 characters - it was Minnie and Goofy when we went. Not much of a line - We got there right when they opened and were the 4th group. The Photopass guys takes lots of pics, and will use your camera too. Not rushed. Just stop and pic up your free pic before you leave the park that day.

I second what LisaB said. It is well worth the short wait...

Yep I will add 1 free per card per day.
Also can use your photopass card and have them added to your CD (if you get that )as well as getting your free one.

Where were the times posted? We are going to do this in Aug. Thanks.

I don't recall where we found the times - maybe on the Epcot times guide? Maybe in general info. about the program?

Do you make a reservation? We ahve dining at the Princess Lunch for 2:30 Will we ahve time to go after?

 

[TyNicJen]

Apparently I can't type have!

No you just go into Innoventions, walk past the Fire Engine Stuff and look for a CM standing by a curtain. You check in there giving them the nuber in your party. They will have you wait until the characters are free (every so often someone is in front of us) and then usher you into your private time.

You should have time after the lunch, most of those buffets I have been to only last and hour, or you can go in before. You don't have to pick up your picture till you leave the park but you must get the actual picture at EPCOT in the photo center.

Can you do this more than once? Like if we go to EPCOT a day or two later can we do it again (with the hopes that it's different characters)? Don't mind if the 2nd time includes a free pic, would just like to get pics w/different characters (whether I'd pay for another 5x7 or just use my own camera).
