Disney Visa Cardmember Star Wars Photo Opportunity
Disney invites you to, “Bring your Disney Visa Card the next time you visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios and get ready for a Cardmember-exclusive Star Wars Photo Opportunity.”
Our MickeyBlogger visited the location today. He notes that this is the same Darth Vader available to meet regular Guests but without the line!
With minimal cardmember visitors, you’ll have a lower wait time! Look for the sign bearing Darth Vader’s menacing helmet.
It says, “Disney Visa Cardmember-Exclusive Character Experience.”
