Disney Visa Character Meet and Photo

[doctornick]

Has anyone used this recently? I saw times were 1-7 pm on rewards website. That is a lot longer than previously reported. So checking in for more info.

Still at Innoventions West ?

Yes, the location is the same, but they did lengthen the hours it operates. I think they changed it this past summer.

Best time to go?

Thank you.

Line is lighter later in the day. If you hit it around dinner time (say, 5-7pm), it could very well have no one in line.

We had Minnie and Goofy in early December (went two different days).

Yeah, we used a FP+ only to realize there was only 2 families in the other line.

I don't think they have a fp+ for the visa meet and greet. You must be referring to the main meet and greet.

Went on 12/22 around 6:30 and one family in front of is. On 12/24, we went around 5:30 and was empty.

Note that in years pars they allowed us to get any print. Now it must be from the event.

We got some pixie dust with this. We had one card in our group and they let all 15 of us go in. I dont know how often they let in big groups but it was so awesome. Our first m&g of the trip and I almost cried when I walked in the room. Actually getting teary eyed now lol

We had Goofy and MIckey. We went around 1:30pm. I think it opened around 1pm on Dec. 21 and no one was in line and you get a free 5x7 print out. We do this every time.

Do I have to pick up a voucher somewhere before getting the picture taken?

They give you a voucher in the line right before you go in to the room. You have to show your card at that point to get it.

My impression is that they lines have significantly reduced since they extended the hours. Basically, similar number of people but now spread out over more hours. I love it and it is a nice perk.

Sometimes you can get a nice CM at the photo area who will let you use the voucher on a different picture, but most only let you use it on the specific Visa set. (It helps if your Visa photos are all bad, they might allow you to use it on a different photo that is better.) We did the Visa M&G in California -- which almost never has much of a line -- and there the CMs pretty much let you use the voucher on any photo.

We did it in August. Hung around inside because the weather was fitful and the kids just played in the nearby attractions. We were the second family in line, easy peasy. Here's the shot:
