Change to Disney Visa Perk at Disney's Hollywood Studios
Disney Visa card members visiting Disney's Hollywood Studios at Disney World could previously visit a character greeting location called Celebrity Spotlight and receive complimentary photo downloads of their meeting with Olaf the snowman from Frozen.
Listed on the website as of March 20, 2026, Disney Visa card members can instead meet Stitch from Lilo & Stitch at Celebrity Spotlight, still receiving complimentary photo downloads of their visit. This perk is available from 9 AM – 12 PM.

It's unclear if Stitch replaces Olaf completely for all guests, or if Stitch is a Visa-exclusive character at this location with Olaf continuing to meet everyone. Previously, all guests could meet Olaf, but only Disney Visa card members received free photo downloads.
Disney World's website still lists Olaf as meeting at Celebrity Spotlight all day. Celebrity Spotlight is a pretty small space, so we're unsure of how Stitch works into the location's existing operations at this time.
Disney previously announced Stitch will have a new permanent meet & greet for all guests starting in late summer 2026 as part of The Magic of Disney Animation, an upcoming walkthrough attraction.
Celebrity Spotlight is located between Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! and Star Tours – The Adventures Continue. Disney Visa card members simply need to show their Disney Visa card upon entry to receive their free photo downloads. No advanced reservation is needed.

Other Disney Visa Perks
In addition to meeting Stitch at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney Visa card members receive access to special character greeting with Mickey and friends at EPCOT and Darth Vader at Disneyland Park. Additionally, special discounts and vacation packages are often offered to Disney Visa card members before the general public.
Earlier this year, the Disney Inspire Visa credit card launched as a new product with a higher annual fee and a better reward redemption percentage than other Disney Visa cards. Learn all the details about the new Disney Inspire Visa card in our separate coverage.
