Scroll down on the index to the Disneyland forum - they will be able to help you out quickly,.I'm sure!

DCA has the Sing Along and an Olaf meet and greet.

Anna and Elsa meet in DL.

I believe Anna and Elsa are now meeting in DCA, not DL. Source

Probably, it that was what the FPs were for the Royal Welcome. The people who were pulling FPs from a large metal box on the street in DCA yesterday had no idea what it was for.

There were only 10 people in line at the Olaf meet and greet. Oswald was more in demand.

There are lots of different Frozen things happening throughout DLR.
DL: Frozen (play) at the Fantasy Faire Theater (Return Ticket), Anna & Elsa pre-parade float, Arandelle added to Storybook Canal Boat ride
DCA: A&E Meet & Greet (Animation Building, FP/Return Ticket), Olaf Meet & Greet (in front of Stage 17, FP/Return Ticket), Frozen Sing-Along (Muppet Theater, FP), Oaken's Trading Post (store)

Not to mention the Anna & Elsa Boutique in DTD, lots of merchandise and snack offerings everywhere!

Awesome -- thank you.... A CM said that you could pull 2 FP, 1 character and 1 "ride" is that true?

Unless things have changed, as long as the FPs are not connected to the rest of the system, you can get them. The CM might have said that you can get one character FP because up until the end of March, Anna & Elsa was the only character meet & greet that use the FPs/Return Tickets system. Currently Olaf also uses the FP/Return Ticket system. From what I've read, you can get both the A&E and Olaf FPs/Return Tickets (so two character m&g), as well as the FPs for WoC and an attraction FP (e.g., RSR) within DCA.

So is there a list of which are not connected? Like the Frozen story in Fantasy Faire is that connected so we can get a FP for a ride and a return ticket for the play? Thanks to all the knowledgeable DL people for sharing as it has been very helpful for planning.

Connected means it is part of the park's FP system so you cannot get it and then immediately go get another FP in that park.

Connected:
Frozen Sing-Along (DCA)
All Attraction FPs

Disconnected:
Frozen Play at Fantasy Faire (DL)
Anna & Elsa Meet & Greet (DCA)
Olaf Meet & Greet (DCA)
World of Color (DCA)
Fantasmic (DL)

I second Figment's report as far as connected FPs vs return tickets. This was our experience with these attractions when we there mid-April. I highly recommend both the sing along play in DCA and Royal Theater play in DL. Both definitely worth planning into your day.

Also if you can manage it have one adult wait in the line for Olaf meet and greet (this line is separate from frozen fest line but then feeds into the frozen fest after you get a beeper thingy) while the other adult takes the kids into the frozen fest for snow play, sledding etc.

We were at the parks last Thu-Sat with DD5 - a CM at the Fantasy Faire FP machine told us this general rule: "shows are not connected, rides are". I did not ask where the A&E meet & greet fits in that rule but it did work for the others:

FP for the Frozen Show at Fantasy Faire (DL) is disconnected
FP for Sing Along (DCA) may or may not be disconnected (we ended up not getting one)
FP for World of Color (and I'd assume F!) are disconnected - we saw WOC but I honestly don't recall if there was a Frozen element to it but it was an amazing show nonetheless.

When we went to get FP's for the sing along the CM said it was for a show in 2 hrs but the show that was just about to start didn't have too many FP's handed out so we should try to do standby instead - we did and had no problem getting in.

Both were a lot of fun. Of the two, I liked the sing along but loved the play at Fantasy faire. The two guys who lead the show are so great. We saw them last summer when they did Tangled.

We didn't see Olaf outside either time we walked by Stage 17 (once on Thurs afternoon, once on Fri night) so he may not be there 100% of the time or maybe he moved. Back when we saw him in December (the 2nd day he was at DCA) the CM's were just handing out FP tickets-no machine, so they were definitely disconnected.

We did not do the A&E M&G this past visit but I recall it was also disconnected- but that was the first day they have moved to DCA back in December so it could have changed. Yes they are still at DCA in the Animation Academy building - the FP kiosk is just past the entrance on Hollywood Blvd.

Also, sometimes the Animation Academy has classes for drawing Olaf and Marshmallow. This past trip we did a class for Baymax which was really fun - it was a full body class versus just doing the profile like all the other classes we've done in the past. DD5 has been doing these classes with us since she was 3 and loves them -it's so cool to see her how much more she pays attention to the instruction as she gets older and how her drawings evolve from visit to visit.

Just to clarify, but Olaf's Snow Fest's last day was April 30th. Unfortunately, it means the snow play ground is not longer available to guests. Olaf continues to meet guests near Stage 17 (the location of the Snow Fest building), but he no longer uses the beeper system (it is now a Return Ticket like A&E).

Is there any talk of it coming back next year, like in late october perhaps?

 

[figment_jii]

At this point, DLR is very focused on the 60th anniversary celebration that will start next week (May 22) and should run through some part of 2016. They haven't said very much about anything non-60th-related, so at this point, it is not known if Olaf's Snow Fest will re-appear in the fall. It may depend on how much of a demand there is for Frozen at that point, whether they are using the area for something else, and whether they need to increase attendance during that period. About the only think we do know is that they have said that the Diamond Mad T Party will run throughout the 60th anniversary, so it seems very unlikely that Freeze the Night will return. If you are asking about October 2016, that's even harder to predict.

 

[violentlyserene]

Oh no, this oct. I figured with halloween and the anniversary we'd be out of luck but one can hope. What matters most is anna/elsa and olaf and it seems like they'll be sticking around at least.

Am I reading this right..so basically right now you can get 4 FP in DCA pretty much at the same time? (barring the time it takes to get to them, of course)

 

[figment_jii]

In theory, yes, you could hold a FP for an attraction/Sing-Along, A&E M&G, Olaf M&G, and WoC at the same time.

What do you mean by "it is not a Return Ticket like A&E"?

Also, can someone describe what the Sing-a-Long is like?

 

[figment_jii]

Sorry about that...it was a typo. I meant to say that "it is now a Return Ticket like A&E."
