We were able to make our fast pass choices today and Anna and Elsa were already booked for both days we will be in Magic Kingdom (to no one's surprise ). Any tips on getting to see them? We figured we'd see if there were any good tips and give it a shot. If the wait ends up being too long then we can at least say we tried. My girls (5, 4 and 2) would enjoy seeing them but it's our first Disney trip so they will clearly have plenty of other happy distractions if it doesn't work out!

Keep checking.

I am so glad I don't have to worry about seeing them this trip. When we went last January they were still in EPCOT so we went for rope drop and managed to make it into the first group, still had a nice 1-1/2 hour wait but it was worth it.

The other day I checked for some clients who were in the park and the wait time before 9 am was less than an hour....I highly recommend goign at rope drop

Thanks! We will have to keep checking back. We have a breakfast at Crystal Palace one of the morning at 8:00 so I'm thinking if we make a dash for it, we may be able to get in line before it gets too long.

Thanks! That's kind of what we are thinking. We have an 8:05 breakfast at Crystal Palace so I think if we head right after breakfast we should have a decent shot to at least limit ourselves to waiting under an hour. And the girls will have full bellies so hopefully they will be in a decent mood to handle the wait.

If you can get an early BOG breakfast on a non EMH day, you can get a small head start. It's expensive at $20/adult and $12/child. I'm not sure everyone on the reservation has to order food.

We have an 8:05 breakfast at Crystal Palace one morning. If we don't end up getting a fast pass we may try to take off in that direction right after our breakfast. We don't mind waiting in line for a little while but anything over an hour could get ugly with my 3 girls being 5 and under. Thanks for the tips!

We were able to see Anna and Elsa during the fireworks in early March on a week night with only a 20 minute wait. I would try to go during the fireworks or parades if you can't get a FP.

Not sure how far out from your vacation you are. Some people say to look roughly 45 days before your trip for FP+ and ADR. Since the full trip amount is due around then, you get some that need to cancel their trip.

Good Luck and have a fun trip!

That's a good idea! We are not quite 45 days yet but we are getting close!
