Disney Visa Star Wars Imperial Meet 'N' Greet -- start date?

[gilana]

Does anyone know when the new Disney Visa Star Wars photo op will start? I'm guessing November 16, when Launch Bay opens, but we'll be in the parks Nov 9-11 and we just got the Disney Visa specifically for this, so I've got my fingers crossed that there's a chance it will start early. Thanks for any news!

So, does anyone know if you can get 2 free photos in one day (one in DL and one in DCA)?

The "fine print" on the offer says "each cardmember account may be used for entry only one time per day", but it's not clear if both offers can be done "one time".

I was going to say that the above information no longer mentions a free photo, though guests did say they were still getting them. But then Nonsuch posted additional fine print that does mention free photos. I could not find that information on the Perks page, but I did find it when I clicked printable guide.

I would think you could use both in one day. They could be changing how they record your card information, but in the past they wrote down the information. That would be difficult to share between parks. They're also separate perks. It's not like you can get 10% off dining OR shopping. It's both. So I'd think you could do both M&Gs in one day getting both pictures (assuming they continue the pictures), you just can't visit the same M&G more than once in a day.

I will say that in the past the CM used to allow you to come back for pictures with a different character, but they would not give you another photo coupon. However, the M&G has gotten a lot busier lately, so I could see CM being more strict on this.
