Character Meet 'N' Greet at Epcot?

[Simplyred]

I found info online saying if we show our Disney Rewards Visa Card we can enter the event. Has anyone done this? If so, how many people can you have in the photo? Is it worth us taking the time to seek out? Thanks in advance

Next trip - Jan. 25 - Feb. 1, 2010 POFQ

My kids love this. We go several times each trip.

You can go once per day. The characters (two or three-- we've had Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and Goofy in various combinations) are hiden by a curtain and only one family enters at a time. The photographer will take several shots. You receive your photo in the photo center near Spaceship Earth. You can choose your shot, add a border, and they print it there.

Some have reported long waits, but we've never waited more than 10mins or so.

We've done this on both our trips and it has been not only quick but a nice perk that others can't do. If you are there and have the time I would DEFINATELY make it a point to get your picture taken!

My tip is to look for a removable sign directing you to the Visa Character Meet n Greet. If you can't find the "Visa room", ask at Guest Relations.

These are all the mistakes we made when we went. We didn't see a removable sign, and went to the regular Character Meet n Greet. By the time I realized it was the wrong one, (after waiting in line for almost 2 hours)and then went to Guest Relations to ask, it was too late for the Visa photo op. It was our second day at Epcot and we missed out on this perk.

We know what to do next time.
