EPCOT FP+ for character spot vs the Disney Visa line

[DisFam95]

We have the Disney Visa and I recall there was a special line for card holders. Is that line shorter - or should I use my FP on the normal character spot? Our only other FP+ interest is the Mission green which not sure that's really needed or not.

SO use our 3rd FP+ on
- character spot or
- do Visa line and use it on Mission Green

I think the visa M&G only had two of the Fab five. While the character spot has three characters. It depends what your family is in to. If they like rides more, I would FP Mission Space and standby at the character spot because that line usually is less, but you can go to the Visa greet also.

I was kind of wondering about this too. We ended up doing a FP for the character spot because I didn't know what else to pick. Is it possible to change just one of your FP choices or do you void all 3 if you go in to change it to another?

 

[Stitch808]

Nope, just go in and change the experience. Whatever you do, don't cancel any one of them. It'll prevent you from picking up another one unless they fixed that glitch.

I miss the days when there were 5 and sometimes 6 characters at the Character Spot in Epcot

If Mickey is your goal I would keep the character spot. When we did the visa meet back in April it was Minnie and Pluto. It was great and we loved the free picture! We were glad we kept the character spot for Mickey and goofy though.

Every time we have walked by the character spot, the standby liner is less than 30 mins. I wouldn't use a FP for that.

One thing no one has pointed out is the Visa M&G gives you a photo to take home.
I took this from the Disney Visa website.

We found the Visa Character Meet had a very long line at 1pm, but we went back around 3pm and there was only 1 family in line in front of us. We met Goofy and Mickey there, then went over to the Character Spot standby and did not wait long at all (maybe 20 minutes?) and it was Goofy, Mickey and Minnie. We were also able to get 2 free photo vouchers - 1 for the Disney visa and 1 for the rewards card so my friend and I were each able to get a print.
