If you have a Disney Visa card, you’re probably already aware that the card allows you to earn rewards that you can spend on Disney World vacations, as well as get certain deals, discounts on Disney merchandise, and more.
However, one of the best perks of having a Disney Visa is actually in the parks, and it includes getting one-on-one time with some of your favorite characters. We recently took advantage of this perk in EPCOT and had one of the best character experiences of our lives.
If you have a Disney Visa card, you can access a special photo opportunity in EPCOT. Here’s the thing, though…the photo spot isn’t easy to see, so you’ll need to know where to go to find it. It’s located in the Imagination Pavilion near the Journey Into Imagination with Figment ride. You won’t find signs pointing it out, so you’ll have to keep an eye out for it because it’s kinda’ hidden.
It’s not so secret that there’s no line, though. It took us about 30 minutes to get through the photo op, which really isn’t bad at all. The line wraps around a corner, and then around another wall, and only one group is taken into the experience at a time. You also don’t know what characters you’ll meet (and you won’t see until you’re actually there). When we asked a Cast Member, we were told it was a surprise. This actually makes the photo opportunity even more exciting.
And we were surprised when we finally made it to the end of the line and got to meet both Mickey and Minnie, who were both SO charming.
Note that you will be asked to show your Disney Visa at the front of this experience, so you’ll need to make sure you have it on you. Overall, though, this is a great way to meet some characters with short-ish lines.
So be sure to check out this exclusive meet and greet in EPCOT if you have a Disney Visa. And check back with AllEars again soon for more.

This was my favorite picture of the whole trip! They took their time with each family member (7 of us) and we loved it.
The last time we were at the greeting, we had a lot of fun as no other guests were waiting. Minnie and Pluto were there and interacted with my husband as he “offered” some of his character cookies. Got lots of great pix.
