It is called Epcot Character Connection and is located across from Innoventions West. It is on your left if you are heading toward The Land Pavilion. You can't miss it. There is a big sign located there. When we were there it was open 9 am to 5:30pm but as always, check the times guide. We got pictures with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip & Dale and Donald Duck in about 15 minutes.

Was just reading what it says on the Disney Rewards Visa website and says location and characters may vary so it may be at a different place than what I said on my previous post. There are plenty of characters at the Epcot Character Connection though and hardly any wait.

Yes, they are two different locations. The Disney Visa meet is daily from 1:30-4:30 pm inside Innoventions West. Cardholders get a free 5"x7". You must have your Disney Visa card with you. Characters vary.

Yep the Disney Visa one is located at Innoventions West (not the Character Connection). It's back in the back of Innoventions West near where they do the Segway rides.

This was such a great experience for us and very personalized. We were sad that we kept putting it off till the end of our trip. We also missed doing it last year. It was so worth the time and we got a great picture. They also asked for our camera so they could also get pictures with our Camera.

I highly reccomend doing this!!

Hopefully it will be extended. Everything I've read says end of Sept.

*also I was told at the end of Sept. you will not be able to get your Disney visa discount on tours

Is it the character meet that ends in Sept, or the free photo offer?

Is the Character Connection at Epcot relatively new or did I just miss it?

It took the place of the Character Bus. I'd say it's at least a year old.

 

[unclescroogefan]

I remember reading that it was extended until Sept 2007

You can get many pictures and the lines are rarely long, saves allot time in getting signatures and pics. As of June, in order to get your free Visa picture, you had to go to the other Innoventions building ( were the Segway tour is ), which is next door. We had many pics taken

I think this thread might be a bit confusing to some.

We are talking about two different things; The Character Connection which took the place of the character bus and the OP is talking about the Disney VISA Meet and Greet which gives you one free 5x7 photo.

They are across from each other. Both do not have long lines. Both are great.

The Character Connection has several characters and the line wasn't long at all. Photopass photographers are there for photos.

The Visa meet and greet is in Innovations West daily from 1:30p to 4:30p and you get a voucher for ONE free 5 x 7 photo per Visa account. There are usually 2 characters which change every 20 minutes. We saw Mickey and Pluto this past Tuesday. They put the photos on your Photopass card. You must pick up your one free photo before you leave the park for the day.

Oh wow, thank you for the pictures! It is new since we've been there, and it looks awesome! I never liked the way they did the bus...very disorganized!
Thanks everyone!!!
