Advice on Princess/Frozen Meet Times

[Pennstater2000]

We're cruising on the Disney Magic in January and our online booking window is open. I currently have a 9am Frozen meet scheduled and a 10am Palo Brunch reservation. I'd like to schedule the Princess Gathering for 9:30 am. In your experience, will we be finished the Frozen Meet in time to make it to the Pricess Gathering at 9:30? I plan to get to the Frozen Meet a few minutes early so we'll be close to the front of the line. Also, does a 9:30 Princess Meet give us enough time to make the 10am Brunch? I appreciate any help/advice you can provide! Thanks!

We've done the meet and greets and never waited more than 15-20 mins in line. That being said, I don't know that I would try to squeeze the Princess one in between Frozen and Palo bc you don't want to be late for brunch- especially if you still need to take the kids to the club.
You might be able to squeeze it all in, but will be worrying. I don't like unnecessary worrying. Haha!

We did the Frozen M&G Friday on the Magic. We had a 10:00 am time and we waited in line a good solid 15 minutes. I found it went much quicker on the Fantasy last year. When we arrived at Animator's this time there were still people on line for the 9:45 time. At 10:00 am sharp they called the 10:00 am people who were waiting in the entry way. There were about 30 people ahead of us in the line. Don't know how many were the end of the 9:45 and the beginning of the 10:00 am's

We have done back to back on those 2 meet and greets putting them half hour apart. We were late for the second because how long the first took. And you don't want to rush any potential magic. Such as we were last to see Anna and Elsa and then they were heading to the door to leave. I stepped aside and let them know they could go first and they said oh no and each took my 7 year old by one hand and said "she can walk with us!". And my daughter in her Elsa dress walked through half of the ship chatting and holding hands with them. Ah, Disney magic!

So I would say that schedule is a bit too tight.

The day you board there will be a place set up for help with dining reservations (usually one of the restaurants). Maybe try and push your Palo Brunch back 30 minuets later??

Thank you for the advice! I'm going to stick with my 12:15 reservation for the Princesses. I'd rather not be stressed out and worried about being late. My gut told me the 9:30 time would be too tight and you confirmed it! Thanks.
