Disney VISA photo meet

[dachsie]

Do you still get a free picture with the Disney VISA photo meet and greet?

 

[msmama]

You get a free download - so a little card that tells you how to download the photo when you get home. No longer a physical picture.

They actually take several photos and you can download them all for free.

When did they start that? I was there in June 2015 and I got a hard copy though u could only pick one. If you get all of them by downloading, that is even better. Has anyone done the Star Wars free photo yet? Just curious on how long this line is since Disney Visa card holders get a free photo here.

We did it in December and walked right in for Darth Vader. It was close to the end time though. (Now they have Kylo Ren.) Again, it was a download and not hard copy photo. Great experience though with Vader!

It's fairly recent. We got a photo in October 2015 and I want to say it was shortly after that trip that they changed it to a free download.

Now they have Kylo Ren.

Is there an option if you hate Kylo Ren? Way back in 2010 we were at DL and the character for the Meet and Greet was not a favorite. We took the picture and were then given the choice of any of our Photopass photos to print out.

I waited about 20 minutes (ish). The regular line for Kylo Ren was listed as 40 minutes. Just FYI the Visa one is not near the other meet and greets (it's kind of through a little cantina area.

When you get in line they give you a little card that tells you how to download the photo(s). I don't think you could get the card without getting in line.

That said, I don't know if they really force you to download certain photos because I have an AP which gets me all the photos anyway (so really, the only benefit to me is shorter lines).

Same here as msmama, we have the AP, which now includes the memory maker, so I don't know if there is an option to pick something else. Sorry!

Just an FYI -
Epcot Visa Meet & Greet is for all Disney cardholders, credit and debit.
DHS Star Wars Visa Meet & Greet is only for Disney CREDIT cardholders.

Go to the one in Epcot and not the one in DHS?

Usually from the fab five. I've had anywhere from 1-3 at a time, lately it seems to be 2 most times however.

Having memory maker, the only benefit does seem just a shorter line. It was nice getting a hard copy and saving on printing it out yourself.

Can someone just clarify for me...so for the Visa M&G we actually get essentially a fast pass for KyloRen? We were there last month and the wait was 40 minutes so I didn't go, but it sounds like we wouldn't have had to wait as long since we are Visa card members. Also, this is just for KyloRen, not Chewbacca as well is that true?

Where is the DHS meet and greet exactly? Thanks!

When you enter you will see stairs going down to the two regular meet and greets. Instead of going down, turn right into the "cantina" area. To the back right corner you will see fairly unmarked hallway, CMs standing by it and this sign.
