Character Meet & Greet Questions - Baymax? Star Wars?

[basketlacey]

Hi disfriends. Can you tell me if Baymax is still doing M&G at EPCOT? And if so, where? And can I FP+ it (or do I need to)? I tried to look at the character schedule on the WDW site but I can't tell who is meeting.

Also, is there a Disney Visa Star Wars M&G? If so, can I do both this one and the Fab 5 Visa M&G at EPCOT?

If you've read this far - are they any other new characters available in the last year?

Thanks for your help!

Baymax is currently in Epcot. He is located across the breezeway from the Character Spot and does not offer FP+. Joy & Sadness (Inside Out) are in the same area and also don't offer FP+.

There are two Disney Visa M&Gs currently:

Disney Character Meet ‘N’ Greet at Our Private Cardmember Location
At Walt Disney World® Resort, stop by our private location–reserved just for Cardmembers–to meet and pose with some of your favorite Disney Characters. You’ll receive downloads of your photos, too! Just present your Disney Visa Card to enter this exclusive event, offered daily 1pm to 7pm at Innoventions® West at Epcot®.

Star Wars™ Meet ‘N’ Greet
Feel the power of the Force at the Star Wars™ Meet ‘N’ Greet, offered daily from 11am to 4pm at the Star Wars Launch Bay in the Animation Courtyard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios®. You’ll receive downloads of your photos to mark your visit to the dark side! Simply present your Disney Visa Credit Card to enter this exclusive location.

The two Disney Visa M&Gs are separate and you can do both. The Star Wars M&G is not available if you only have a Disney Debit Card.

As erionm said, Baymax is in Epcot, no FP+ is offered. Shouldn't need one, his line is usually manageable short.

Thanks so much to both of you!!!!

Can you only do these meet and greets if you have a Disney Visa? I don't have one and I'd rather prep the kids now if they aren't going to get to do these.

The Star Wars M&Gs (separate lines for Chewbacca & Kylo Ren) are open to all with admission to DHS. Disney Visa Cardholders get access to Kylo Ren via a separate entrance.

At Epcot, the Disney Visa M&G is exclusive to Disney Visa Cardholders. The characters that appear in this location are available elsewhere around WDW.

I picked our FP+ for the charactor spot yesterday (for September) and it says specifically Baymax and Inside Out. It is "Meet Disney Pals at the Epcot Character Spot". It says "Experience Joy and Sadness Together" and "Get Up Close and Personal with Baymax".

A FP+ selection for the Character Spot is only to meet Mickey, Minnie & Goofy. Baymax, Joy & Sadness are not included in that FP+ selection.

I see your confusion. They have all 3 meet and greets in one tab on the site
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/entertainment/epcot/character-meet-mickey-and-friends/
If you expand each tab individually you can see that the only one that has fp is the Mickey, Minnie and Goofy one

OP, you asked about other new M&Gs in the last year and Olaf is in DHS, also no FP but doesn't really have major lines (very cute M&G though). Also, it's not officially a M&G but there are Jawas in Launch Bay. They will trade with you for trinkets and are a lot of fun.
