Disney Visa Character Meet & Greet at Epcot Question

[docsnort]

Just back on 1/15 and used our 2 cards for free prints once(wish I had known we could have used them each day we were there!). When we went to the camera center the gal there said we could get 1 free print per card from ANY of the pictures on our photopass card. By that time we had over 70 pictures on the card. I said that I thought we could only pick from the M&G pictures but she said we could pick any of our photopass pictures. Great perk just got better!!

I'm glad to know that you have to claim your free photo on the same day you do the meet 'n greet. We had planned to do the photo right before dinner in World Showcase and then leave from there - out the International Gateway exit.

Does anyone know how long after you take the photos that they are available to be picked up? Under the old (pre-PhotoPass) system, they used to tell you a couple of hours.

I had hoped that since the Meet 'n Greet photos are loaded on to PhotoPass, they would be available longer and the voucher could be brought back another day to pick up the free photo. I'm sure they will tell us when we take the photos, but I'm such a planner I want to know now!

It's also fun to know that we can use the voucher for any photopass photo!

Thanks!

They are available right away. You must pick it up before you leave the park that day but it will remain on your Photopass.

When I went in Nov/Dec, they did not hand out vouchers but they did on our trip in Sept. Maybe they were just out of them on our second trip.

Thanks for the great info so far, just a couple of questions. Can I please get a little better description of where it is? Also I will have 5 or 6 other people with me, does party size matter?

Can anyone get into the meet and greet or is it only for Disney Visa card holders? I was just wondering how long you have to wait in line to get in.

It's a Disney Visa Meet and Greet and only people with a Disney Visa can enter. It's a special perk for members to celebrate the 50th Anniversary and it's till Sept 2006.
