Disney Visa Meet & Greet...

[d96j97]

I am soooo sorry to ask this because I know it was on here before. I did a search and can't bring it up.

Question? I know that the picture is at Epcot Innoventions. Can someone give me some more info. such as times and exact locations?

Thank you!!

1:30p to 4:30p in Innovations West near the fire truck.

And remember you can only get the free 5x7 at epcot or the gf.............it is a very nice perk! we saw minnie, donald and goofy, and our pictures were priceless!

Yes you only get 1 free but put them on your Photopass card so you can look at them with all your others when you get home

we took our free photo in nov. i called Chase Visa to see if we could take another free photo using the same account # during our jan. trip & they said, yes - one per trip. i was surprised & hope that i received correct info. i'll call again just before we leave in late jan.

go past the fire truck in Innoventions West - it'll be on the right behind a black curtain....there was a line w/ a only few people in it but we waited almost 30 min. - i guess the photographers & CMs don't rush each group. we were there for about 5 min. w/ the characters. it was Mickey & pluto for us.

Just moved my reward $ to a card and had it sent! I would like to have one of these pictures done is there some kind of voucher I need to take with me? Thanks much!

I know our trip is getting close when I start to get into these kind of details!

So do you just show your Disney Visa and that's it? Do you get your picture then or do they mail it to you? Any reason you couldn't go twice in one trip?

 

[tawasdave]

Yup just show your Disney Visa....we got ours in Disneyland...we had to pick it up at the photo store later in the day....

 

[FutureAshleyDukes]

I didn't know about this. How long is this available? I'm guessing I should start reading what they send me!

 

[eeyoreiscool]

We did this and had a great time. The character interaction is wonderful and you don't feel rushed at all. We were able to see Mickey, Pluto, Minnie and Goofy.

Yes.. you just show your visa to get into the meet and greet area. In Nov they put it on the photopass and told us to when we looked at our photos to show our visa and we would get one free. Apparently they use to give you a voucher when you had your photo taken, but that has changed.


BTW... We did this twice during our most recent trip. I thought it was once per day. They did not take down our visa # or name or address at all.

At the GF? I thought it was only at Epcot?

 

[Jenny]

when we got in line, i showed my disney visa....i believe that the CM wrote down the last 4 digits so that was their way of keeping track of how many times i had gone but i'm not sure of this.

like previous posts said, you show your visa, take the photos, they put them on your photopass, you can view them in the photo/camera center located near the exit next to spaceship earth on the left, show your visa & you can get 1 5x7 free.

i'm not sure if you can order the free one from the internet once you're home....i know that you can order them & pay for them from home but wonder whether or not you can get your free one....i would just stop & get one before leaving the park.

i believe this offer lasts until sept. 30, 2006....is that how long the 50th celebration is? i believe that's what i read.

We saw Goofy and Minnie in August. I think the characters must vary sometimes, since others have seen Pluto and Mickey.

I goofed and missed out on getting the free picture. You MUST pick up your picture IN PERSON, at Epcot, the day your picture is taken. I didn't read the fine print, and thought that we could order the free picture on line via Photopass. If you forget to pick up your picture that day, then you miss out on getting it for free. We ended up ordering a 5 x 7 anyway.

If you have a Disney Visa, this is a nice way to see a couple of characters in a private room without having to wait in a long line. Make sure you pick up your picture later in the day.

I don't know why I was surprised, but there was a very long line for this when we went last week mid week. We waited about an hour. It was worth it to get the picture and the kids played the innovention video games while we waited in line. But just a heads up to make sure you allocate time for it.

 

[paslea_pooh]

We went to take our picture and forgot to pick it up at the end of the day. We were so tired after Illuminations the kids were exhausted. Funny we passed by this really long line on the way out of Epcot and I couldn't figure out what people were waiting for! Duh!!!

Is there anyway to get that picture now?

I wonder if the time of day makes a big difference? I suspect it does... We went about 4:00 the Sunday after Thanksgiving and there was no-one else there. We got right in, and could have spent a lot longer, but we were trying to get to the 4:30 cookie-making in the Land, so we just got our quick picture and autographs with Goofy, Minnie, & Donald. I did go pick up the picture around 5:30-6:00 and there was no line for that either, but I bet there is later in the evening around park closing time. We only went the one day, but I was able to get 2 pictures free because DH & I each have a card (separate account numbers). I did get talked into buying a frame though, so they still got money out of me.

First time we went my daughter was sound asleep. It was cute to see Mickey and Pluto tip-toe around trying not to wake her up. Got our free pic.

Went another time, same week, had Mickey and Pluto again, daughter awake this time. She had the best time, spent about 10 minutes in there. They played ring-around-the-rosie, crawled around with Pluto, Mickey even got down nose to nose with her. The best pics ever, ended up buying 3! Even bought more once getting home I love pictures!
