Disney visa benefits: Preferred seatings? How do they work?

[cseca]

Is there any more benefits for disney visa holders at DL?
I tried to log in yesterday and it gave me no offers at all.

I was hoping there's at least the 5x7 photo freebie.

Thanks

Thank you!
You are awesome!

Oh one more question,
does anyone know if these need to be set up in advance or if it's a get there early and you'll get a spot kinda thing?

Preferred parade viewing at Disneyland® Park or Disney's California Adventure® Park.
Preferred seating to selected attractions in Disney's California Adventure® Park.


Thank you!!!

I think preferred seating and parade viewing are only if you booked a vacation pkg and used your Visa. I don't know that for sure, but that's the way I read it.

I called Disney Rewards recently, and the preferred seating as well as the coin, backpack, etc. is only if you booked a Disney Rewards Visa Dream Package through Disney Travel. Any other package through Disney Travel does not count.

Without this package, the discounts and meet-n-greet apply to you.

Thank you all!
I just called them and because I paid with disney visa they've added the benefits to my ressie
Now I just need to figure out how to get these preferred seatings.
I hope there is no reservation involved since we're leaving in 6 days...

I booked my package thru disney Travel and paid with my Visa card. Anyhow, I received my package about 2 weeks ago with everythin in it. I imagine you will pick it up when you check-in, but I am not sure about that....

Anyhow, the preferred seatings are little tickets they give you. You present them before hand and you either have a special section you can sit in, or they let you in for seats before everyone else. At least that is what I understand from reading everyone's posts on here. So, no, you do not need to make ressies in advance. Hope that helps!

Because I did a last minute ressie, they didn't catch the disney visa part of it.
So I'll have to go to their office in DTD area to get my vouchers...
Thanks for the clarification. Now I feel better...

You get little coupon like vouchers. They have tabs on them when you pick what you would like to attend there will be a line for you that will allow you in to get your seat.

don't forget to use your disney visa to do the meet and greet at Ariel's Grotto from 10-11(?). One family at a time goes downstairs to meet some characters and get a free 5x7. We saw mickey and goofy.
