Disney Visa Cardholder Perks

This is a perk for the Chase Disney Visa cardholders while at the Disneyland Resort. The special Character Meet and Greet operates daily at California Adventure. This is currently scheduled to continue until September 30th, 2005.

Ariel's Grotto is the location for this very special perk. Between 10:00am and 11:30 am, you can simply go to Ariel's Grotto and show your Disney Visa card. You will then be sent down the elevator, and two characters will be there to greet you!

The Characters for this meet and greet do rotate, so no specific character can be guaranteed. Many families may be with the characters, and if that is the case, each family will be allowed to spend time with the characters for picture taking.

When California Adventure opens, it is a great time to take care of this perk. While others are heading to the big attractions for their first ride of the day, you just may end up with some alone time with the characters.

In addition to the special meet and greet, you get a free 5 x 7 photo taken by a Cast Member during the meet and greet.

We did this meet and greet on Saturday, July 2nd, 2005 at opening. When we arrived, they asked if we had a voucher. We did not. It seems that some people get a voucher from Disney Visa, while others don't. A voucher is not needed. When we went down the elevator, Chip and Dale were waiting. Since they happen to be two of Alexander's favorite characters, he was thrilled. We normally see them at Redwood Creek, but had not this trip, so to get time with them here was great.

Our family was the only one there, and we spent about 10 minutes with them before we went back up the elevator. Once upstairs, we realized Alex had a dirty diaper, so he and Alex went back down the elevator. Andy had to move quickly to keep Alex from seeing the characters that would appear for the next family, as Mickey and Goofy were waiting. It was then that Andy realized the characters do rotate.

While 10 minutes may not seem to be a long time to spend with the characters, it was precious to us, as the crowds this trip were incredible, and it was difficult to spend any quality time with the characters. We definitely recommend taking advantage of this special perk!
