I see you say they don't greet together but are in the same room, do you only have to wait in line once to enter that room and greet both of them? Or are there separate waits for each sister?

Our daughter and granddaughter are visiting from Madagascar, and we will be able to only squeeze in a day and a half. She wants to see the castle at Epcot, and Magic Kingdom the next day. How can we expedite this for her? We are Florida residents, but they are not. Can we take them as guests under our residency? Thanks for your help.

Hi! Do you know how long is the Frozen sing a long show at the Hyperion theater in HS?

We are going to Disney for 2 weeks at the end of November/early December. I am at my 180 days and trying to book Akershus Royal Banquet Hall for any day during my 190 days, but no times are available for any day during our stay. At first I thought I was just going online to late, but when I called dining this morning the girl said a lot of people have been calling for Akershus, but the restaurant has not opened the dates yet. They also have no idea when the days will open and just said to call/check online periodically everyday to see when they do open the reservations. Does this sound/seem right or was the cast member I spoke with misinformed?

Hi,

I am extremely overwhelmed with all the Disney tickets and plans.

Please what's your best advise and ticket plan to ensuring that my two daugters see the frozen sister and other characters same day? I also would like to know Disney timing and park that would allow us see the characters

I am planning a day visit at Disney in May '17 and want to maximise to the bream due to budget constraint.

Thanks.

We purchased a 4-day plus 1-day ticket from ya'll and are working on plans. We arrive Feb 28 at 2 and were planning to do a half day at Epcot with our 4 yr old. But, I'm wondering if we'd be better off with just going to Magic Kingdom (even though our plan includes 2 days there already). I'm just not thrilled with our Epcot plan. We have FP for Test Track, but I'm thinking it's probably too fast for my daughter to go on. We also have FP for Nemo and Turtle Talk. But, there were no FP for Frozen available. There is EMH that night 9-11, but I don't think I should keep my 4 yr old out that late when we have Magic Kingdom in the morning.

What would you recommend for us to do? Go to Epcot even though no Frozen? Try for Frozen even though we won't get there until quite late in the day. Or, just go to Magic Kingdom since more ride options for my 4 yr old.

Will be grateful for advice!

Hi -

Thank you so much for your great advice. I am a father taking my 5 yr old daughter to WDW. It's a complete last second adventure for basically one day. Since we're just going for a day, I'm thinking we're just going to focus on Magic Kindgom. She loves the princesses, but it seems like she won't be able to meet Anna or Elsa because they are only at Epcot. Is that true? Anyway to meet them after the parade at Magic Kindgom. You've convinced me to take her Elsa dress! We'll also take note cards for autographs. Any other advice for a father that wants to make this extra special for his daughter? We're going this weekend, but should I try to make reservations or will everything be sold out?

Thanks!

It's been a little over 6 months since this article was written, has it become any easier to get onto the ride in the mornings? I'm struggling between using our FP+ for Illuminations or Frozen Ever After. My children will be 4 and 2 - how realistic is it for us to ride Everafter in the morning and save the FP+ for Illuminations?

Hi, do you have any advice on how to get to stay for a night in Cinderellas castle please ?

I have to Disney few times but I am confused by this suggestion. I thought that World Showcase doesn't open till 11am. I assuming this has changed in last three years that I have been back, but I don't want to assume wrong as we are planning our next trip for after avatarland opens up. Thank you

Hi there

Thank you for writing such a great post! Really useful!

I was just wondering whether it is worth trying to get on to the new Frozen Ever After ride on August 20th. We have reservations at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at 8.20am, will this give us enough time to get in line for the ride as well? I've been told it is brilliant but seeing the 5+ hour wait queues I'm not sure it is feasible with my party. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is it best to make Breakfast reservations first (around 9:00 am) and then go get in line for Elsa? Or is it best to try and see Elsa first when they open up at 9:00 and then go eat breakfast? Or would we even get out of Elsa's Meet & Greet in time for a breakfast. I am wanting to make breakfast reservations but they only have times open at either 9:15 or 10:40. So I'm not sure if we should eat first or go stand in line for Elsa first.

So we have an 8:25 breakfast at The Garden Grill, but I was wondering if it would be an acceptable cheat if we got ushered into The Garden Grill by cast members, then ditched the reservations, paid the noshow fee, but got in line to see A & E early? I'm wondering if paying the fee is worth not waiting in a 100 minute line with an antsy 5 yr old. We attend in early November.

Do you think they will add fastpass+ for anna/else eventually? Going in December with no chance of 8am reservations (already closed out...crazy how hard it is to get reservations around Disneyworld). It will be my daughters first trip to WDW, so really want to meet the sisters!

Hi,

I'm a bit confused as to what we can do to meet Elsa. We have our tickets already but we are not staying on the resort. We are going at the end of July so the new location in Epcot will be open by then. When can I try to get fast-passes to meet Elsa and/or try to make breakfast reservations to meet her? I've seen the 60 days/30 days etc. and not sure what we fall into. Thanks!

So I'm going to Disney at the end of July. It just turned over to my 60 day mark, and I stayed up to get fastpasses. Even though it was the very first thing I looked for and Epcot isn't our first day, Anna and Elsa meet and greet didn't even show up (didn't say unavailable either) it just wasn't there at all. I'm wondering if they changed something, but I'll be checking back for a while.

I have an ADR at Akershus at 8:15. Wondering why you recommend getting in the line so early if the only other people in the park before 9am will be the folks at Akershus? (Would you recommend the same arrival time for the line at Frozen Ever After? We are deciding which to head to.) And it sounds like bc the beginning of the line is indoors so I couldn't send my husband to get into the line so my DDs could enjoy the bfast a little more. Did I understand that correctly? Thank you.

Hi Frog family, thank you for all your great advice. Sorry if this has been asked before... we are visiting in June and are now within our 30 day window. As I expected we have yet to get FP's for Anna & Elsa so I was wondering... is it possible for 1 person (namely me ) to join the normal queue and my daugher join me later once I am nearer? I am happy to wait 2 hours in a slow moving line however I cannot see my 4 year old being as happy! When we visited Paris this worked for Rapunzel.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the advice on here. We're returning to MK in June this year after a one day magical visit last year. We are still only visiting for 2 half days however and my 3 yr old is desperate to see Anna & Elsa again (despite our 2hr wait last year) So, after no luck yesterday when our 30 day slot opened, I tried again this morning at 5am UK time using your tips to book just one fast pass at a time and with a little playing around I've managed to get us synced. Thanks again!

Will they still keep the Anna / Elsa meet and Greet at Magic Kingdon as well as EPCOT when the new Frozen them opens there this year to alleviate the long queues, we are just tying to plan our September visit. Also apart from the various parades and the First time for ever at Disney Hollywood Studios do the Frozen character appear anywhere else.

Hi-Thanks for all of this information! We have an ADR for BOG at 8:10 on a day the park opens at 9. I was not able to get a FP+. I have tried to continue to check but I cannot see how to check for a FP+ without cancelling the ones I already have. I don't want to do that, if I don't have to. Is there a way to check for FP+ without cancelling the ones I already have? TIA!

I was (finally!) able to book a FP+ for my 4-yr-old to meet Anna & Elsa, but there was only one FP+ available. I've tried several times to synch my FP+ with hers, but it isn't working (there are no FP+ left to meet them). Will the cast members let me go in with my little one? Thanks!

First saw Anna and Elsa in Norway in Epcot. Yikes, the Florida afternoon sun nearly killed me. I stood in line for over 3 1/2 hours. Silly me. Afterward my back went a little cray cray. The next year they had moved to Fairytale Hall/Princess Hall over in Magic Kingdom. We Fastpassed them and saw them after lunch at BOG. That was last year when the first BOG lunches were available thru Fastpass. So I felt like I had really scored. I think Anna and Elsa hype may have calmed down for now. Of course they will move back to Norway and things will get crazy all over again. Be sure and go to the Frozen sing a long in Hollywood Studios. That is really fun. And a great way to cool off. It seems like Disney was slow to respond the to success of Frozen. Then suddenly there was too much merchandise. Looking back on it/shame on Disney for having people wrapped around the church in Norway in that long, long line. Really!? That was nuts.

Hi! Thank you for all of the tips! And thanks to the readers for their comments as well. I love to plan ahead. We are traveling at the end of January 2016 - I have an ADR for Be our Guest at 8:15 - park opens at 9 that day. Would we be fine to eat breakfast and then get in line for Anna and Elsa by 8:45? Or should I still try to get a FastPass+ for this (our 60 days booking isn't available yet)? Am I understanding from the comments that even getting in to the park early - we'd have to wait in line for awhile? Or would you recommend having one person wait in line while the others eat breakfast? I was originally thinking we could get their first thing after breakfast and do a few other things in Fantasyland before booking our first FastPass+ reservation around 11AM. And advice you all have would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi

Do you happen to know if Anna and Elsa are involved in any character dining? And which restaurant? We are flying in to Orlando in December from Singapore. Thank you.

Hello - firstly great website. We go to MK next month, have one pass day & then are attending the Halloween party. We can't get a fast pass to meet Anna & Elsa so would you suggest going on the day that we attend MK or on the Halloween party day? Thanks in advance.

We are going to Disney World during 14 to 20 of November, 2015 and I followed your advise to the letter in my planning. I booked all my breakfasts, lunches and dinners with 180 days before and got everything I wished for my 5 years old granddaughter, my daughter and myself. Now I am approaching the 60 days before the trip and I am almost ready (still working on it) for the FastPass reservations. There is one big confusion I have (among several smaller ones :-)): Nov. 17 we planned to spend in MK and I secured for us breakfast at The Crystal Palace, lunch at Cindarella's Royal Table, and dinner at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. We will have tickets for MK that day and I was wondering if will we be allowed to enter the Epcot based on our 8pm dinner reservations or will we have to purchase ticket for the park?

Thanks for all the good advise!

Lana

With not so scary tickets you can enter the park at 4 pm and book fast passes until 7pm when the party starts. That's what I was told.

We are going to Disney in October and have got tickets for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party. I know fast passes are not during that time, but do you think Anna and Elsa will be meeting people during the party? I haven't purchased tickets for the parks yet and am not sure we'll be able to much in advance and am afraid if I don't fast pass it we won't get to see them and my 6 and 8 year old will be very upset. I am also debating doing MK on Thursday as opposed to Saturday for the added hours since on Thursday October 8, the park closes early for the Halloween party, we have tickets for the party on Friday. Would it be better to try for a Thursday even without the added park hours because the crowds should be a bit less?

We are going on August 23rd and were unable to score FP. If we show up at 8 an hour before opening and head straight there how long of a line will there be?

Thanks you so much for your advice! Your website is just great. I was able to snag a fastpass for Anna and Elsa for september last night at midnight, at my 60 days date (well, 60 + the 7 nights we will stay there) and there was availability on our last day of vacation. My kids will be so thrilled to meet them!

I am planning a trip in late Aug. Of 2016....do you think the Akershus princess character dining would include Elsa by then if Frozen is open?

Hi,

I booked Fast Passes for 5 of us at the Sing Along with Anna and Elsa and I'm just not sure if we are all actually booked. The item shows twice on the itinerary - first time it shows "FastPass+ for 5 Guests" and indicates to arrive between 10:00 - 10:15. Then, the next item says "Stage Show for 1 Guest".

So, while it looks like we have a Fast Pass for all of us, then it seems like only one of us have access to the 'stage show'.

??

see above text about Cadence

Ok, so I am going with my wife and twin 2-year old girls in June. I have snagged a FP+ for Anna and Elsa, but I am wondering if 1 is sufficient for both girls since they are under 3? I really want a picture with both of my girls at the same time, but I am hoping I don't need 2 FP+'s... Can anyone confirm or clarify?

Thank you

Hi there!

We are planning on booking a trip to Disney the end of January for my daughter's 5th birthday. She is absolutely obsessed with Elsa and Anna so I want to focus our days on a great Frozen experience. When will The new meet and greet begin at Epcot and what would you suggest for a Frozen experience?

We are on our way to Disney last week of March. Where do we see Elsa and Anna. I love all the suggestions, but not quite sure where I can wait in line at 7 am with my kids. Thanks so much. My daughter has told everyone that she cant wait to meet the real Elsa and Anna this coming week.

Hello,

If I am unable to secure FastPass to Anna and Elsa- what is the next best strategy to wait the least amount of time to see them? There are no EMH on the day we are going. We are planning on being there at rope drop but will waiting for A&E cut into the shorter ride lines? Thanks for your help.

Are Anna & Elsa available during the evening EMH's?

Hello. I'm staying at Disney World in May with my wife, 5 year-old daughter and baby son. Our FastPass window opens in a couple of days. We have five-day tickets and plan to spend two days at the Magic Kingdom. If need be, we can add a day and visit during morning extra magic hours on our departure day (late flight). Which is our best bet for seeing Anna and Elsa: Setting up a FastPass at 4:00 pm or so on our second day at the Magic Kingdom, or heading over during EM hours on our departure day? Are the waits for those two comparable? Thanks in advance.

Hi! My 4yo wants to wear the Elsa costume when she meets Elsa and her Anna costume when she meets Anna. In what order do you meet them? Also, what are the parks like for a 7 am EMH? We've had no luck with a FP, so we are thinking the 7 am EMH is our best bet!

This trip would not be the same without Elsa and Anna Meet and Greet for my 6 year old daughter.

I have unfortunately been unable to obtain two fast passes for the entire 7 days that we are there!

I am staying on resort and have checked with concierge at the Beach Club-they are unable to help with fast pass.

What do you recommend at this point to be able to see Elsa and Anna without a monstrous wait time? Early or Late magic hours for resort guests? I will check back and try to find FP of course.

What hours are they there? And anywhere else? Just Magic Kingdom?

Thank you so much!

Nancy

Hi,

I'm going next month to disney florida, I am getting up at 5am our time to log on to try and book a fast pass for my husband , me and my 3 year old daughter but none are available, I have managed to book 2 seperate ones for the same day , one at 9-30 pm - 10.30 and the other 10-30 pm - 11-30 pm , obviously for a 3 year old this is far to late but I'm running out of ideas, I keep praying a slot will become available for all 3 of us at a decent time but it's not happening , we're going for our honeymoon and are all so excited , any ideas anyone?

I read all these threads and just wanted to add my success story! I only tried booking our fast passes the night before, as we are in Orlando for 2.5 weeks and I wasn't sure what day we'd do Disney. I didn't want to commit to a rainy day! So I booked a fast pass the day before but obviously couldn't get Elsa and Anna. I tried to get just one but no luck. I planned to go before opening and race to the Princess Hall where they are and get in line. And then my two year old woke me up at 330am, so, since I was up, I tried again to an Elsa and Anna FP and got one! Just one, for 5-6pm, when I need two, one for me and one for my 4 year old. So we still went early, and when everyone else went right to get in line, I went to a FP kiosk and asked very, very nicely if the woman could ever help me. I said I was flexible with any time, if she could ever get me two FPs instead of one. Well, she fiddled around, and then actually gave me two FPs to be used ANYTIME! So we went right away, and saw her at about 9:15am. Even when we left, the line was only about an hour, which I certainly would have waited. We went on a Weds morning, mid February, before the holiday. I wish I got that woman's name because she just made our entire day. So, it's worth trying in the middle of the night, and if you get just one, they may give you more, since you all go in at once and it doesn't add any time anyway! Good luck!

I am having the same problem with Anna and Elsa. My 60 day window opened yesterday and was able to get one FP for me at noon, but the other 3 in my party were put in a 6:50PM slot. I have since been checking the site and have been able, with a little patience, to move the rest of my group up in time closer to me bit by bit. Currently, 2 of my party now have times that feature an overlap, such that they can enter together (but are for a time around 5), but no luck on the other single, as the best time I have as of now is still 3 hours after mine. Copying and pasting did not work, as it kept trying to lump everyone to an evening slot and I don't want to hold my last FP hostage, such that I can't book any other rides.

If for some reason, I can't get the other 3 in my party (2 little ones) within my FP window by the time we go, what are the chances we can stop by guest relations and ask to be lumped together in my FP window? If so, can we ask at any park's guest relations desk, or just MK?

what do you mean by copy to the rest of your group in the reservation process? Planning a trip in oct 2015 for Halloween party and really only my daughter and I need to see them...

Can you still meet Elsa and Anna in Norway at EPCOT? Or are they only in the Magic Kingdom now?

We just got back from a nine-day stay with the mouse in Florida and found that checking FP+ frequently (every half-hour or so) allowed us to book Anna & Elsa when someone changed their FP+ to another experience. This proves that the system is dynamic and will allow someone else to reserve a FP+ when another guest gives theirs up.

-There's no more pixie dust on my Visa card?!?

Hours for Magic Kingdom were just updated and now the park is opening up @ 8am 2/15/-2/16/15, I was planning to get to the park around 7:15, so I could be there to be one of the first ones inside then go right to fairytale hall, to meet Elsa and Anna, is there a special procedure I should be aware of, and is it likely that I'll get in to meet them with a minimal wait time? I will have 4 young children with me. Thanks. The park was originally opening at 9 on these 2 days but now its opening earlier, and the times to meet the sisters has also changed to 8, would the fast passes have reopened to include this change of time or will they just stay the same? This is the one thing that's a must do for my kids.

How early does your breakfast reservation have to be to get in the park early? We made one for 9:30 because that was the earliest available and the park opens at 9. Will we be able to get in early to hopefully get in line for Anna and Elsa before we eat?
