Actual / Real Time Wait for Anna and Elsa

[mvndvm]

OK, I know how long the reported standby lines have been, but I want to know the LONGEST that somebody has ACTUALLY waited to see Anna and Elsa. I'm listening to the DIS Unplugged podcast, and it was suggested that maybe CM's are posting 300 minutes on the standby line to discourage more people from lining up. I thought that was interesting, so I want to know the ACTUAL times. I have a hard time believing anybody will wait 5 hours for 3 minutes with these ladies.

I can't speak from experience because I've never waited (nor will I), but I have heard of people who have actually waited over 2.5 hours. The issue is that it's a very high demand "attraction" and there's very low capacity (since its basically 2 girls responsible for meeting everyone one at a time). I can very much believe that some people wait 300 minutes depending on break schedule, etc.

Multiple hours (2+) can be assumed in standby. What people are interested in doing with their time is a matter of their own preference.

If you are interested in avoiding a multi-hour wait, your only options are FP or an enormous amount of luck.

We have seen them a few times now.

1st visit: November 17th. Waited about 45 minutes around 3pm. (Norway)

2nd visit: January 15th. Waited 2 1/2 hours. (They started meeting at 11am back then, and I arrived at rope drop/9am, and got to see them at 11:27am) (Norway)

3rd visit: April 20 FP+ waited 10 mins. (MK)

4th visit: April 26 FP+ waited 5 mins. (MK)

5th visit: April 27 FP+ waited 10 mins. (MK)

6th visit: May 3rd (evening. No FP+ and A & E were not advertised as being there, just the 'crown' and Aurora's pic outside.) We literally walked in with zero wait. (MK)

That is inaccurate.
