And we’re getting closer and closer to being able to combine a fun ramble around the property with transporting ourselves to Magic Kingdom via the Grand Floridian Walkway! The new pathway will allow guests to walk straight from the Grand Floridian to the Magic Kingdom’s entrance on a special direct path.

Surprise! EPCOT’s Disney Visa Cardholder Photo Spot Is Still Offering Special Photo Experiences!

By 9 Comments

One of the best perks of being a Disney Visa Cardholder is being able to take advantage of special character meet and greets with photos at Disney Parks. However, when Disney World reopened, character meet and greets were no longer part of the Disney World experience due to new health and safety guidelines.

Because of these changes, many might assume that the Disney Visa Cardholder Photo Spots are no longer open, but we would like to remind you that this isn’t the case at all!

Today’s another special day in the Magic Kingdom as the Cadaver Dans return to Main Street to sing some spooky tunes, along with all the other Halloween entertainment happening in the parks!

Jack Skellington

Disney has been creating new ways to celebrate the holidays, rolling out themed Character Cavalcades and allowing guests of all ages to wear their Halloween best (even the Cast Members). But, that doesn’t mean that the parks have curtailed their health and safety measures. Along with the health and safety notice signs placed throughout the park, Disney has also recently updated the overhead announcements to confirm lesser-followed required procedures in Disney World like wearing your mask over your nose and not lowering your mask for photos.
