How the disney visa card work with Character visits in Epcot?

[jaysbabe]

I received my Disney Visa card and one of the benefits is a "free" character meet and greet and 5x7 at Epcot. Does anyone know where this is located and how is the experience.

The photo spot is located at Innoventions, diagonally across from the firetruck. Just show your disney visa card and they'll tell you what's next!

Character meet and greets are always free (unless it's a character meal). The real "free" thing here is the picture. You can get one per day per Visa holder. There are some specifics about when/where to pick it up, etc. And it's only limited hours (Something like 1:00 - 4:30?).

It's been a while since I've been to WDW (like 5+ years) but now I'm taking my 3yo DS for the 1st time. The VISA card wasn't really clear about the character meeting (they made it seem like it was a cost thing and a perk that you got in free). But, hey a free picture is a free picture!!! (Disney doesn't give too much away)

I appreciate the info on the location, times and what the card will really get me.

Happy Disney Day to everyone!!

I didn't know this. I thought it was one per card period. Thank you

yes its one per day! and if your spouse has one .. with a different card number.. he or she can get one too!

I figured the free photo ended with the Happiest Celebration theme. I'm excited that its continuing.

We did this last week and it was really neat. The line was about 20 minutes long but we waited. We were really pusing it with nap time looming so I asked the woman in charge of the line which characters were "behind the curtain" and she said she couldn't tell us. It was very cute though. The characters (pluto and mickey when we were there) played with my girls for a long time and it was very fun having a private area to play with them. You can go view the pictures and choose your favorite as your free print. The rest will be on your photopass.

Have fun!

Really, one per day! Did you really try to get one pic each day? We each have a card (separate) accounts. So would that mean we could get 2 pics free each day of our trip? I don't know if we'd take the time do that, but it would be neat if we could!

We went a couple of weeks ago and had no line at all. The CM's at the attraction were nice enough to take pictures with our own camera as well.

When we did it about a month ago, we were lucky enough to get Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy. They were dressed in their yomd attire.

We only made it over there once last week. the times didn't work well with our naps. but when we went, we waited about 15 min and it was Mickey and Goofy and we got the first shot of our 2 yr old with a character, she hid from all the others. It was great! we got our free one and the rest were on our photo pass.

Okay, I have two different Disney VISA accounts, each in my name...would this mean that I can still get two on the day that I am there. I would love one for my mother and me.

I just ordered a card for my DH so we can get 2 pics. Thanks for the info.

I would think that you could if they were both Chase Visa Disney Reward cards

Did you apply for a whole new account for your husband or did you just request an additional card on your account? I don't think an additional card will work. I think the cards have to have different account numbers

I just ordered him an additional card on my account. I (I meant he) should have it by the time we go. I was able to do it through the website. I do not like calling credit card csv as they try to upsale you on many "features."

We did it twice. And we got 2 free pics each time since we have 2 accounts (different account numbers) A nice little perk
