Where/what is Disney Vsa Character Meet & Greet?

[WDW4us2006]

I know this is special to the Happiest Celebration on Earth and is good thru Sept. What characters are there, where is it, and when? Anyone done this? Is it worth it?

It was AWESOME! We had an exlusive meet and greet with Mickey, Pluto & Donald and they were super interactive! The location was in one of the Innoventions Plazas, but I get them mixed up. It was just across from the firetruck and the "Where's the Fire?" exhibit. The hours are extremely limited, but I wouldn't miss it!

I mix the illuminations up as well!!

When you walk in epcot and go under Spaceship earth - one is on your right and one is on your left

go in the one that is on your right - the same side as Soarin',The Land etc. in there is a little room - across from the Segway area - they let you in the room one family at a time -

when I went in it was Mickey and Donald - but the characters can vary - it is during the afternoon - I am thinking 1-4 but you might want to confirm

it was definately worth getting the free 5x7!!!

Do they have it every day?

Do you have to have an invitation for this? Or just bring your Disney VISA? Sounds fun!

We did this once and were able to see all the characters. Mickey, Donald and Pluto were almost ready to go for a break when we went in so we saw them first. Then as we were leaving, Minnie and Goofy walked out so we got some time with them as well.

It's called the "Disney VISA Meet and Greet" so you must have a Disney Visa to enjoy this "Happiest Celebration on Earth" perk. This perk is going on through September 30, 2006

It runs daily from 1:30p to 4:30p at Innovations West, across from the fire truck.

It's one photo per account per day.

The characters vary so there's no way to know who you'll see.

When you get there, get in line. As you get to the front, they'll ask to see your Visa. They will write down your account number and then hand you a voucher for a free photo.

It will be put on your Photopass card. After you've met with the characters and BEFORE you leave the park, you need to head to the Photo Gallary and pick up the photo.

You must pick up your free photo before you leave Epcot that day or you will not get your free photo.
