Disney visa - photo at Epcot

BuzzLightyear · 02-09-2006

Just curious if anyone has done the Disney Visa character meet at Epcot.

I guess you use your card to gain entrance to a spot at Innoventions and get a free 5 x 7 photo with a Disney character.

How was it? Crowded? Hard to find? Worth the trip?

Thanks!!

We did this last August. The characters vary. It was Minnie and Goofy when we went. We got to pick a free photo. The interaction time was great because it was just us, but the photo quality was kind of "orange". But you know my motto-"if it's free, it's for me!"

My sister did this with her family in November. Mickey, Minnie, & Pluto were there, I think. I agree that the photo quality wasn't great, but she said the time with the characters was wonderful. She said the CM's let them take all the time they wanted and even took lots of pictures for them with their own cameras. She also said they were allowed to do as many poses/photos as they wanted with no one rushing them (family, just kids, grandparents with kids, etc.). She highly recommended it to me, so we're planning to do it in June!

We did it in January, with all 8 of us---there was only one family ahead of us, so it was not too crowded. I thought our picture quality was very good, maybe they have improved it. We had Minnie and Goofy also, they Danced with the kids (and my FIL), and we spent quite a while with them. Well worth it!

I am going to be doing it in March, I will let you know how it goes.

I saw advertisements at Epcot, yet we never made it over since they had limited hours it was available.

Anyone have any updated info on this??? Anyone done it recently? Is it done in the character connection?

bikedealer · 12-04-2006

We did it one time, we had no lines at all walked right in. They took a few pics and we got to take what we liked the best.

mrspooky · 12-04-2006

When I got my Disney Visa Newsletter they said they were still doing it for 2007. We will be there again!

live4mickey · 12-08-2006

We had our photos taken with Mickey and Pluto

. No lines, no waiting, just walked right in. They took several different shots and we were able to pick which one we liked the best. As a matter of fact, they all turned out pretty good.

Oh wow, when I saw the title of this thread, I thought you got to have your photo taken at Epcot and have it on your Visa card! Now that would be cool, to have Spaceship Earth in the background! LOL

mickeymommy · 12-18-2006

We did the photo thing at DL and it was great. There was only 1 family in front of us and they were leaving as we walked in. We got about 10 minutes with Micky and Goofy. Our picture was great, but like I said, that was at DL.
