A&E No Longer To Have Visiting Princess

[WEDWDW]

Aurora is on the move.

Will this be the first time ever for a M&G on Center Street?

Does that mean Anna and Elsa will be meeting separately? Like, Anna on one side of the room, Elsa on the other? While that might make the line go faster (maybe), I like the idea of them meeting together better.

I doubt that, I think it's just to get guests moving in and out quicker.

That definitely makes more sense.

I have not been in that venue, but I would think it will enable multiple sets, similar to Mickey in Town Square.

There are multiple sets at the moment but this change suggests that they could handle more.

No, no, that I get..but I meant in the same room, like how A&E were on one side and Aurora was on the other. Would they split them so Anna was by herself and Elsa was by herself.

It wouldn't make much of a difference since the meet and greet for A&E was holding up the line. The few times we've gone, Aurora was talking to the people in line (inside the room) while she waited for the guests to finish with A&E and move on to her.

What I'd like to see is Olaf on the now empty side of the M&G. My kids would love that more

I would hope not. It would be like meeting the 7 dwarfs one at time. And would probably increase the wait times.

That, and most people want them in their photo together.

Maybe they'll have a half dozen or so sets, get wait times down under 120 minutes.

I'm pretty sure the main reason behind the move of Aurora wasn't to keep the wait time down again, but rather that they didn't want to have to pay a 3rd girl per room. Originally it was 2 princesses in the room, add in Frozen, and it's 3, after a few weeks, they realized that this was screwing with budget, and decided "lets more Aurora out to the front of the park" kinda deal.

I have heard that Anna & Elsa will be greeting on different sides of the room, but do not know if that's confirmed or not

Why would "Aurora" cost less in one location than she does in another?

If the kids are like my dd she didn't even care to see aurora and asked if we could just go after ann and elsa. Aurora was mostly playing with kids I line because lots of people are just there for Anna and elsa

My 2yo was like that. Bolted after A&E. But my 4yo son wanted to take a picture with her. It was maybe 30sec. I felt bad that no one wanted to spend time with her.

Maybe it's because she's not doing much in the A&E room... "why pay her to stand around and talk to the guest in-line. We'll just move her out to the front and make her work for it."

Who do I have to write a letter to in order to get a M&G for Kristoff?! lol

We were there last week and did the A&E meet and greet twice. The first time, A&E were together and Aurora was on the other side of the room. The second time, it was just A&E and they were on separate sides. I think I kind of preferred them together, but we probably had more time with each of them when they were separate.

I asked a CM about it at the time, and she said they were trying something new, with A&E on opposite sides. Let me see if I can find some pictures to post.

I'm glad they are moving her. In addition to the kids who just want to see Anna and Elsa and don't pay attention to Aurora, I'm sure there are also at least a few Non-Frozen obsessed kids out there, who really want to see Aurora as she is their favorite princess, and their parents aren't happy about not being able to do so unless they deal with the 4 or 5 hour Anna and Elsa line.

 

[MakiraMarlena]

I am thinking they want to move Aurora to get guests moving through. They meet A&E and then they leave. They don't hang around to meet Aurora. They may also have figured out that anyone who wanted to meet Aurora specifically would have to wait in a 3 hour line because of her more popular colleagues.
