A&E Extended Hours Starting June 1

[Momof2Singers]

Just read this on facebook per KENNY the PIRATE

Anna and Elsa will finally extend from park opening to 30 minutes before closing from June 1 onward!

Hopefully this will open some more FP+s. Great news for all those that have been unable to find a open FP+ during their trip. Wonder when they will be loaded into the system.....

 

[Momof2Singers]

Good question, maybe they will put them in June 1 with the Festival of the Lion King..that would be nice...just checked and nothing is there yet.

What do they do if the standby line is 400 minutes long, 30 minutes before closing? Do they keep the park open for an extra 6+ hours? Ot tell the people to go home?

Good question...it does take the little "secret" shared on the board out of play that they are there later even when their picture is down

I assume that they will close the line early. That wouldn't make any sense otherwise.

Will this mean that during MNSSHP they will be there during the party itself? I do not know how M&G work during the party.

I can book my FastPass+ next Friday for my August trip and I am so happy they are extending the hours for Anna and Elsa

This is awesome! We're going next week and we didn't get E&A fast passes I would have some very happy kids if I could get my hands on those!!

No, they close the line once they think it will go over park closing time. If the line was approx 4 hours long and the park was closing at 9pm, they would stop letting people into the line at about 5pm. They might reopen the line if it moved faster than they had anticipated

It's possible, however usually the Princesses meet with their Princes in FairyTale Hall. Snow, Aurora, Cinderella and Rapunzel were there last year.

I'd be shocked if they weren't added for the hard ticket parties. But they'll cut that line so it clears through before the party starts.

Great news that they apparently have enough staff now to extend hours for them!

 

[KulaMauiMouse]

Just wondering if anyone has gotten FPs for tomorrow or this week? I keep checking and I haven't seen anything (though I don't check every hour, only 4 or 5 times a day).
We won't be at MK til later in our trip, I just want to be prepared if they do let more FP times out.

 

[LSUfan4444]

Wow, great news for sure. A couple more dozen/hundred FPs per day will certainly help.

I really hope not. That would mean more crowded parties every night.

 

[FeralCatRogue]

oh i didn't think of that, people would probably buy tickets JUST to get in line for them :/

I just checked this morning, and I was able to snag one for my Frozen-obsessed niece (and 1 adult) for Jun 13!! There was still a bunch of availability from 4pm to close, but I was only looking for 2.

Thanks for the update!! I just scored FP for the 10th at 5:15. So excited!!

Just snagged FP for our large party on 6/5! They gave me 8 options for 1 person (including one around 12:40pm, so not all of the openings are late) and I was able to copy an evening one to the entire group. Yay!
