Character Meet & Greet for Disney Visa Cardholders

[Muppetfan3]

How is this? We are planning on this, have the hours and location but don't know much else about it. Which characters does it involve? Mickey and Minnie? And do you just show up in the time window and show your Disney Visa card? Thanks in advance.

Epcot - Innoventions - Disney Visa Credit or Debit - show your card, short line, usually 2 characters of Fab 5, never know. I think last time we had Minnie and Goofy.

DHS - Launch Bay - Disney Visa CREDIT ONLY - show your card, short line, Kylo Ren.

The biggest problem is finding it. A CM had to almost lead me to the entrance (at Epcot). We didn't wait very long (I think it's only open from like 1pm -?) and had Mickey and Pluto (the one with the green hat?) I think they took a lot of pictures and I chose the one I wanted. It was only last year but I'm a little fuzzy. I'm gettin' old.

We went last Sunday at about 6 (open 1-7) and we maybe waited 10 minutes... We saw Minnie and Pluto... I was actually pleased... Thought it might be some low key characters.. I would highly suggest it.

Gonna take advantage of this perk for sure!

We had Mickey and Goofy. This meet had the best pictures of our trip. I ordered one on a big canvas. It was a great meet!

We have done the Epcot meet twice, met Mickey and Goofy once and the other time we met with Minnie and Pluto. It's a great meet and greet, definitely worth it in my opinion.

Where is the location at DHS? I know in Launch Bay, but is it clearly marked?

I don't know, but I'd love to know! I thought it was only offered at Epcot (Innoventions West) 1-7 pm for Disney Visa Cardholders.

Someone posted elsewhere that cardholder line for the Stars Wars M&G was well marked. If you don't see it, ask a CM.

I keep forgetting to do that! Lord knows that card has so few perks I really should take advantage of it.

Is there a maximum number allowed, per visit? We have 8 people in our party, and for some reason, it seems like there was a maximum of 6 when we did this previously.

The location in the launch bay is easy to find. But we found the line closed during regular hours because the regular line was so short. I don't know if this is a regular occurrence or not

Careful now, a good way to loose your Disney fan card is to not know who the characters are

When we did the one in Epcot, we got Minnie and Pluto. At HS, we had a VERY short line (like no one ahead of us) to meet Kylo. Heads up, though, the photos taken at EP were automatically free for me to download (we don't do memory maker), but the ones at HS with Kylo had the watermark on them and I had to email the folks at photopass to get them to release the photo, which they happily did. The entrance in the launch bay was a little tricky to find, but a CM just pointed me in the right direction. Interaction with Kylo was a little...awkward. We're not big meet and greet people, but I love Star Wars. He's intense, to say the least!

The Disney Visa cardholder meet and greet at Launch Bay is not marked at all...or wasn't 4 days ago. We finally had to ask a cast member where it was. When we got there, there was simply a cast member standing at a door to the entrance. No sign, no nothing. It was a very, very short wait for our son to meet Kylo Ran, though....maybe 5 minutes. The regular line was probably 30 minutes.
