The Best Ways to Meet Anna and Elsa at Walt Disney World

Guide to Seeing Anna and Elsa at Disney WorldEver since the movie "Frozen" debuted, many Disney World travelers (us frogs included!) get toadally excited to meet Anna and Elsa at EPCOT. And then after "Frozen 2" came out, Anna and Elsa got an exciting makeover and new clothes, making them just as popular as ever.

While we have a royal guide to meeting all the princesses at Disney World, the continued popularity of the Frozen franchise means they get their own guide. Let's head into the unknown and learn all about how to meet Anna and Elsa at Disney World!

The Best Ways to See Anna and Elsa at Disney World

There's a variety of ways to get your "Frozen" fix at Walt Disney World through meet-and-greets, rides, shows and parades (oh my!). Here's all the ways to see Anna and Elsa by park.

The Best Ways to See Anna and Elsa at EPCOT

Guide to Meeting Anna and Elsa at Disney World - Meeting at the Royal Sommerhus

At EPCOT, Anna and Elsa have their own meet-and-greet location at the Royal Sommerhus in the Norway pavilion. You wait in one line and then meet both of them separately.

Keep the Frozen adventures going at EPCOT and head next door to Frozen Ever After! The slow moving boat ride brings the characters and songs of "Frozen" to life through technologically advanced animatronics. Plus there's a ride photo to remember the adventure! Wait times can increase very quickly for this popular attraction, so we recommend riding first thing in the morning or at the end of the night for lower waits (download our app and you can see wait times for all attractions). If a priority for your family, we also suggest booking a Lightning Lane selection via Disney Genie.

The Best Ways to See Anna and Elsa at Magic Kingdom

At Magic Kingdom, catch the "Frozen" sisters at the castle show and parade. Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire stage show features a variety of characters including Anna, Elsa and Olaf. The show is performed in front of the castle at various times throughout the day. The sisters are also on the first float of the Festival of Fantasy parade. Magic Kingdom is the best place to see the most amount of princesses, so we're glad there's some chances for some cool waves and greetings.

The Best Ways to See Anna and Elsa at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Frozen Sing Along – Elsa and Anna

Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you can see both sisters and Kristoff in “For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration” at the Hyperion Theater. Get ready to "Let It Go" with this show for the whole family. Now this isn't just any Frozen sing-along. This fun and comical retelling of the events of Frozen will have all frogs laughing and singing along. During the holiday season, Olaf may even make a special appearance for a festive finale!

The show is typically performed every hour, so there are plenty of opportunities for your Frozen-obsessed frogs to catch a show. Shows do fill up quickly, so we suggest arriving at least 20 to 30 minutes ahead of showtime to secure your spot. We also recommend trying for the earlier shows just in case they hit capacity and you need to wait until the next show.

While there are no meet-and-greets with the sisters at Hollywood Studios, enjoy the show and then head next door to meet with Olaf!

Also at Hollywood Studios, in the most recent iteration of the nighttime spectacular Fantasmic!, Elsa makes a prominent appearance with a solo performance of "Show Yourself" from Disney's Frozen 2. This powerful scene is enhanced with colorful lights and water projections. For a true Frozen fan, this show is not to be missed!

Those are some of the best ways to meet Elsa and Anna at Disney World. Have a tip we didn't mention? Share it in comments below.

Hi Christy!

The Disney Visa enables some special meet and greet opportunities, including one at Star Wars Launch Bay. Ask cast members as you arrive and they can direct you to the special queue.

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 Deb,

Check out our Disney World Park Plans to get an idea of how to make the most of your time at the parks and which rides to see/when. For the Florida Resident tickets, anyone with this ticket must show valid proof of a Florida residency, such as a valid FL driver's license, FL state issued card or valid Florida-based military ID!

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 Jody,

If Frozen is something your daughter can't wait to see, then it's worth the time to take her to Epcot for the attraction. It's worth the 90-minute wait for something she wants to see over waiting 10 minutes for something that she doesn't care about. Quality over quantity.

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!

Hi AT,

What a great surprise! The only places to meet Elsa and Anna are at Epcot. While they do not meet guests after the parade, perhaps your daughter would enjoy meeting the other princesses at Princess Fairytale Hall? As for attractions, there will always be Fastpasses available, but the big attractions may already be sold out.

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?

Reply
Jan 31, 2017 at 7:52 a.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Steve,

Frozen Ever After is still popular. Depending on when you're there, it could be a 90-minute standby line. With Illuminations, there are many spots along world showcase to watch the performance. There is a morning rush of people who do Frozen Ever After in the morning right when it opens as well. It's really about your family's priorities. Would they rather have a shorter Frozen Wait over the Illuminations spot?

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!

Hi Momma Frog,

I have a 9:20 AM ADR for Akershus on Wednesday, November 30. Am planning to enter the park early at 8:30 using my ADR. Then get in line to meet Anna & Elsa. After meeting princesses, go to the restaurant and eat. I am at a resort so am hoping to pull a FP for Frozen Ever After from 10 - 11. Sound feasible?

Hi Vickster,

It's feasible. If you don't get the FP for Frozen Ever After, you'd be better off using your early time visiting it instead of Anna and Elsa before breakfast.

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.

Hi there,

Waits for Royal Summerhus haven't been that bad. We'd suggest trying to get breakfast reservations before the park opens (on a non-EMH day), ride Frozen Ever After, then meet Elsa and Anna. You could also take those two times, and ride Frozen Ever After First, then catch the sisters after breakfast.

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.

Hi there,

Lines to meet Elsa and Anna at Royal Summerhus have not been very long at all, so I don't think you need to cancel your dining reservation. If Frozen Ever After is a priority, you would want to then visit the ride directly after breakfast for the shortest waits.

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!

We are also going in December and had a hard time getting Akershus this trip, even 180 days in advance. The representative told me to check back 45 days before our trip, since they'll likely be some cancellations, and daily within 2 weeks of our trip. She said some people try to book Akershus daily, then later figure out what time they really need and make cancellations.

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!

Jun 3, 2016 at 3:45 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi there,

The meet-and-greet will not be accepting FastPass+ when they move to Epcot, so at this point, your best bet is likely to be there ahead of park opening.

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 Stephanie,

Only a limited number of people will get in via early breakfast reservation. If you do not have one, you'll want to be at the gates early, so you are one of the first ones into the park and can get in line. Frozen Ever After will also see high wait times, especially when it opens, but it will be a fast-loading ride and shouldn't be nearly as long a wait as meeting the sisters.

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.

We just got back from an amazing trip. We were so lucky, we visited Epcot on 20th as we had dining reservations at akerhaus and as we thought getting FPs for the new frozen ride would be impossible we decided not to change our plans. The Anna & Elsa meet & greet had been soft opened for 3 days with wait times no longer than 20 minutes! This had not been advertised and we would have missed it if it wasn't for my hubby spotting their meeting spot. Within 15 minutes we were in. They were awesome, my little girl kept saying " doesn't Anna talk a lot" as they are so true to character. On the flip side we had to wait nearly an hour to see Snow White which seemed funny. I do wonder if they will not introduce FP for Anna & Elsa as the other princesses don't have them either at Epcot? Oh well off to start planning our next visit. Mx

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 Abbey,

I would still try to get a FastPass+ for this. You'll already be in the park early near some of the more popular rides, so you're in a good position to take advantage of that. Plus, you want to enjoy your breakfast at Be Our Guest as much as possible.

Hi Grace,

Anna and Elsa are not currently part of character dining. If you're interested in princesses, Akershus, Cinderella's Royal Table and 1900 Park Fare are good options.

Hoppy planning!

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.

Hi Laura,

I would try to go when you're at Magic Kingdom. If not, you can see them with a lower wait during the party, but it will take away from other party-only character greetings and entertainment.

Hoppy planning!

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!

Hi Lana,

If you just have Magic Your Way tickets and want to go to Magic Kingdom on that day, you will not be able to enter Epcot for your dinner reservation. I would consider dropping that one. Honestly, two character dining experiences in one day will be enough to pack in. Definitely don't cancel your reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table!

Hoppy planning!

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?

Hi Tracy,

Yes, Anna and Elsa will be greeting guests during the party. On days with the parties, this is a good time to visit Magic Kingdom during regular hours because most people want to visit when the park has longer hours.

Hoppy planning!

Hi there,

You should be OK. With kids starting to go back to school, crowds should be lower. Likely you would be looking at 30-45 minutes. Keep in mind the park is not open until 9 a.m. on Aug. 23.

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!

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'.

We logged in at midnight 30 days our from our trip and they were booked. I logged in every night, 30 days out for our entire trip length and they were booked. I "peeled" myself away from our group in the fastpasses so I could "change experience" and hit refresh while I was watching tv and one night, a fastpass appeared (and not at 11pm!) so I snagged it. I then "peeled" my daughter away from our fastpass group of 15 in case something opened up for her. The next night, again while watching tv and hitting refresh every so often, I looked down and found a second fastpass for Elsa and Anna and the times OVERLAPPED!! I snagged it, and then figured I would try for the other two little girls in our group. BAM and BAM two more fastpasses at the exact same time as my daughter. Got the 4 we needed. it can happen! dont give up! :)

Perhaps in addition to booking the fastpasses, you also added it to your itinerary. Adding something to your itinerary doesnt book fastpasses it just gives you an idea of the items you would like to do on your trip. The fastpasses with the set timeframe are what actually book you into a timeslot.

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?

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?

Hi Gillian,

No official opening date has been given, but it is expected to be in 2016. My guess is we'll get more details in the coming months. For now, I would plan on meeting them at Magic Kingdom. No doubt, you will also want to take her to For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration at Disney's Hollywood Studios so she can see more of the Frozen characters and sing along with favorite tunes from the film!

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.

Reply
Mar 25, 2015 at 10:39 a.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi there,

Unfortunately, waiting for them first thing will cut into the shorter ride lines, which makes it tough decision. If you and your group are set on meeting them, though, I am pretty sure you will find that it is worth it :) Your other option would be to wait and see them within the last two hours of closing. Let us know what you decide to do and how it works out.

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.

Reply
Mar 9, 2015 at 2:41 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Jack,

If you can get FastPasses, that is the absolute best way to meet them. During EMH on your last day would also be a good option. Waits should be comparable. If you do EMH, make sure you are at Magic Kingdom at least 20 minutes ahead of the EMH opening.

Hoppy planning!

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!

Hi Paige,

Oh, my goodness, that sounds too precious. It's going to be so much fun for you all. You meet Anna first and then Elsa. The wait will depend on the crowd level for that day, but if you are there at 7 a.m. for the EMH, the wait shouldn't be too bad. Let us know how it goes!

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!

Hi Nancy,

You can only meet Anna and Elsa in Magic Kingdom. I don't know how far out you are, but I would keep trying. And do try the trick about searching for just one person at a time. Since you are on-site, I would go on a morning with Extra Magic Hours. Good luck! Let us know how it works.

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?

Keep trying! Check intermittently between now and your arrival date, and see if you can get one reservation at an earlier time. Then copy that reservation to the other party members.

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?

Reply
Feb 4, 2015 at 2:44 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Gabe,

You could try that. You can also head to Anna and Elsa during the overlap period and explain to the cast member on hand you could not get your one party member the same time and see if he or she will let you all in anyway. Cast members do have some leeway in that regard, and you might all get in then.

Let us know what happens!

Hi April,

You have the option to book your entire party's FastPasses at one time, or you can book your FastPasses at one time and then "copy your selections" for another member of your party afterwards. Sometimes you can try to get a FastPass for your whole party at once, and none will be available. But sometimes you can snag one FastPass reservation, and then copy it to your other party members' successfully. Occasionally, you can't get the exact same 1-hour time for all party members, but you will have a window of time overlap.

Hoppy Planning!

Thanks for all the helpful tips! I was able to get 1 fastpass but need 4 for the family. I tried "copy selections" from the one member to another member but did not work (tried from both the web and the app). Disney seems to have fixed the previous "backdoor".... Would you have other suggestions how I can get additional fasspass for rest of family?

Also, the 1 fastpass time is 2:30-3:30 which unfortunately overlaps with the Festival of Fantasy Parade. Would you suggest I go to Meet Anna & Elsa BEFORE or AFTER the Parade? Thank you!

Reply
May 5, 2015 at 9:25 a.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi JT,

This tip does not always work. If you are not successful in copying them over, then there is no availability. I would keep trying, though, as a cancelation could happen. Meeting the princesses at this time will be a little bit tricky. If you meet them before, you are not likely to make it out in time for the parade, or you could end up without a good viewing spot. I would watch the parade in Frontierland, near Liberty Square Riverboat, so you are in the best position to get over to Princess Fairytale Hall without disruption. After the parade goes by, take the path from Frontierland to Fantasyland. You can arrive up to 15 minutes after your FastPass+ window, so you should have enough time to get it.

Hoppy planning!

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.

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.

Hi Aimee,

I would continue to check daily for FastPass+. Look for availability just for yourself and then if you find a time, take it and then copy over to the rest of your party.

If you arrive before opening and are positioned to be one of the first in the parks, it's possible you could get in relatively quickly, but I would still expect a fairly long wait because of the holiday crowds. More than likely everyone will be walked back by cast members, so it should not be a free for all.
