Disney Visa Meet & Greet

[usschmidt]

So I've never paid attention to these posts before and now I can't seem to find an old one. I am search challenged today I guess lol.

How do I find out where in DCA it is, who will be there, and what time to show up?

TIA!!!

It is to the right of Monsters. If you can't find it just ask a CM working at Monsters and they can direct you. This week it started at 10:30 and I believe it went for one hour, though I did see some CM's still hanging around there at 11:45. We had Chip and Dale during our visit. Fortunately, the CM working at photopass let us select from our entire array of photopass photos to pick our free 5 x 7.

It's my understanding from talking to one of the CMs there recently that the MnG starts 1/2 hour after park opening and runs for 1-1/2 hours. So with DCA opening at 10 it starts at 10:30 and runs 'til 12. Pluto and Chip with Dale are the only characters at this time.

And yes, many CMs will let you use voucher for a different picture. Just ask and if they say no either ask for manager (lead) or come back at a different time.

It runs for 90 minutes I think. For the first half of the time it's Chip n Dale as the PP mentioned. For the second half of the time it's Pluto. If you time it just right (like we did once) you get to see all 3, but that's pretty rare I think.

We have, however, made multiple trips through on the same day to see all 3 characters. They only give you a photo coupon on the first go through, but since my DS loves the characters so much we have been known to visit both CnD and Pluto on the same day. And, since we participate in photoshares I always tell the PP photog to just start snapping since we will be buying the CD. Some of my very favorite pictures from DL have come from the Visa meet and greet!

What exactly is this? I have had my Disney Visa for over a year, but I don't know any of the benefits.

It's kinda like when you see Tink/fairies at Pixie Hollow or Princesses in PFF...you meet/greet/take pics with the character(s) there. The biggest differences are 1) it's only for Disney Visa cardholders, 2) more time w/the character(s), and 3) free photo!

Someone please chime in if I'm wrong, mistaken, and/or just plain out of it!

You are correct! All the times we have been there the past few years, there has never been a wait either. Maybe one or two families in front of us, if that.

I'm looking forward to trying this.

I just never know where it's at.
