Meet and greet for Disney Visa card holder

[Ravenclaw2015]

Hi. We got the Disney visa card because of the $$$ credit and the exclusive meet and greet for holders. How do we know where and when we can use the card for the meet and greet? Thanks.

Epcot - Innoventions, special line for it, show them the card and you'll get in line. Usually 2 characters from Fab 5.
DHS - Launch Bay, special line for it, show them the card (has to be credit card here, no debit), get in line. Right now Rylo.

The Epcot one was okay when we bothered to wait for it. Most times the line was too long and we'd rather be doing other things.

Yeah, we've only bothered a few times since they are characters that are not hard to meet.

Exactly...though if we're doing something 3yo and DH don't want to do, I send them over there. At least it's air conditioned!

Thank you all for the replies. We may have to do the Star Wars 'cause my son love SW.

If the SW one is still up in the fall it's one of my sister and my top prioritys

When we were at HS earlier this month, I asked a CM near the entrance to Launch Bay where to go for the Visa meet and greet, and he personally escorted us to a Chewbacca entrance with zero wait (standby was 40 minutes!) and THEN he was waiting for us when we got done with Chewie and he escorted us to meet Kylo Ren, again with zero wait. He did say that was unusual - he was right in the middle of shifting tasks and didn't have anything better to do for a few minutes Still, it was super impressive and that alone was well worth having the card!!

I'm hoping this is still a go in May. My husband is a giant Star Wars geek. Which is why I'm sure we'll have to plan our second trip ever for when the whole Star Wars thing opens in a few years.

For us, the Epcot one one has always been Mickey, Minnie & Pluto but our last time was in November.

We have always done this and never had to wait very long. We are in both parks twice on our upcoming trip and will try to do this each day.

We've never had three - lucky you. We always had Goofy, and either Minnie or Mickey.

We did better Fastpassing a visit with Pluto Minnie and Donald at Epcot than waiting in the Visa line the week of May 25 to 28th this year. Tried to wait at the Visa line but it Was much longer than the Fastpass line.

My kids are teens and 22. It was the only way we did a character meet this time

The main reason we usually do the meet and greet is because we get a free printed picture. Did I read somewhere that they don't print it out for you anymore?

No, you get a free download now from photo pass. It was nice having an instant download, though!

In our experience the Disney visa "Kylo" was way more interactive than the regular "Kylo". He talked to us a lot and was very creepy. A warning: he will stay in character whether your little one is crying or not. As scary as he was, he was probably one of our favorite meet and greets during our trip. He literally chased us out at the end.

Thanks! That will make it an easier decision if we get there and there is a long line.

The line moves quickly though in my experience (both at Epcot and HS). Our last trip we started about half way down the line of video games (the longest line I've ever done there) and were only in line for maybe 20 minutes. It was hot out so we were enjoying the air conditioning.

I feel like years ago it was more likely to get 3 characters but last few trips have been only 2 for us.

I had to chuckle at this because he chased me out after my meet and greet yesterday. When I turned the corner to go in, he was standing there, I screamed and he was in my face the whole time. I was intimidated!

I'll never forget that meet and greet and it was definitely my favorite of my trip.
