Star Wars Imperial Meet and Greet begins soon at Disney's Hollywood Studios
Star Wars Imperial Meet and Greet begins soon at Disney's Hollywood Studios
Beginning December 1st, 2015, feel the power of the Force at the Star Wars™ Imperial Meet 'N' Greet, offered daily from 11:00am to 4:00pm daily at the Star Wars Launch Bay in the Animation Courtyard at Disney's Hollywood Studios®. 
Simply present your Disney Visa Credit Card to enter this exclusive location.
Epcot Disney Visa meet and greet continues to be offered in Innoventions daily from 1:00pm to 7:00pm as well! It regularly offers meet and greets with an assortment of Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto and you receive one free 5x7 photo per Disney Visa card!
How many can get in using one Disney Visa card?
Whole group
Any updates? Also: with DIsney Visa, do you still have to wait in outside line to get in, but then once in, you get to cut to front of Dark Side line? Or you get to cut outside line?
They have eliminated the outside wait for the meets
Vader is being replaced by Kylo Ren here, right? Does this mean Vader won't have a Meet and Greet anywhere?
Correct
So is there now a separate Disney Visa Meet & Greet by now? How fast is the line running? Or do I misunderstand, and it's just a FP-like line that goes faster than the other line?
There is a visa one. It's on http://www.characterlocator.com along with all else. Could be faster. Totally different area in Launch Bay
Any new updates here? My understanding is the Visa gets you faster access to the same Vader line. Chewie is in his own standby only line. Correct?
Not necessarily. Going at park open or close is the shortest wait. Could be shorter for visa mid day, but still long
Can these photos go onto your Memory Maker?
Yes
Do we know yet if it has to be a Disney credit card, or if it's like the Epcot meet and greet that you can use your Disney Visa Debit?
Either
It has to be a valid Disney Visa Credit Card. Debit cards are not accepted. I read it on the official website. The card can only be used once a day and up to 6 people can go in with one card.
they didn't question people using the Debit card yesterday
Do you get a free 5x7 at the Imperial Meet and Greet like you do at the Epcot one?
Supposed to. I'll confirm today
Do you have a confirmation on this yet? Thanks!
Started yesterday, but new room wasn't ready
It's disappointing that this is restricted to those with a Disney VISA as it cuts out all international visitors as we do not qualify for a Disney VISA.
Not really, you can visit Vader in his regular meet with no Disney Visa
Thanks. I'd misunderstood that part. Thank you for clarifying.
The Star Wars meet and greet today had two lines. Chewie and Vader. The chase Disney visa gets you in to see Vader quicker (like a fast pass without time restrictions). There is still a regular "standby" line. When I was there today, they let 3 x the amt of visa members as standby. (4 standby went in and then 12 visa members. 2 standby went in and then 6 visa,...)
The visa also gives you unrestricted access to all of the pictures taken at that meeting - just like the meet and greet at Epcot did for us yesterday. No longer just a free 5x7. All other pictures taken on the photo pass have to be purchased.
Still haven't opened the actual Vader Chase Visa area yet.
We're at Hollywood today. The walls are still up and cast members are still saying "some time in December" for Launch Bay and JTA. Do you think it will really begin tomorrow?
Yes Launch Bay is on the schedule tomorrow. There is no schedule anywhere for JTA though.
Is it only Disney Visa, or any Chase card?
Is there also going to be a meet there for non Disney Visa card holders?
Only Chase Disney Visa as stated.
Yes, Chewie and Vader are in Launch Bay for all guests
If "Chewie and Vader are in Launch Bay for all guests", then who is in the Disney meet?
Sorry, "who is in the Disney VISA meet?"
Vader
Vader again. Confusing, right?
Any idea if Darth Vader will be a regular or will it just mostly be storm troopers and lesser Imperial villains? (trying to convince the very skeptical hubby the visa meet and greets will be worth getting another credit card)
We'll have to wait and see how it plays out
"Simply present your Disney Visa Credit Card to enter this exclusive location."
I'm I reading this wrong? I did not realize the Star Wars Imperial Meet and Greet was only for Disney Visa card holders.
This is great!
Regular stand by for Chewie and Vader AND a Chase Disney Visa meet as well
