Anna and Elsa Fastpasses

[icesk8abc]

I tried to do some searching, but had a hard time finding recent information. I know this must have been asked a million times so I apologize.

If we get to the gates early and get straight in line for Anna and Elsa Fastpasses, what our are return times likely to be? Is it like other fastpasses where you can see the current time being given out? We have late lunch reservations and need to get fastpasses for any time other than that.

Also, are the fastpasses for Olaf & the Sing Along? How do you make sure they don't conflict with each other?

Edited to add: This would be next Tuesday.

Right at opening the return time for A&E is usually for the 8:20-8:40am return window. They are the movable machines that you can't see what your return time will be, but you can ask the CM what is being distributed and they usually know which window just spit out for the person before you. I have never done the Olaf m & g. For the Sing Along that FP is connected to the rest of the park, where as the m & g's are not connected.

I haven't gotten A&E FPs in DCA, but from my understanding, right at rope drop there is a chance that they won't be using the FPs system. It sounds like they take the first group of guests directly into the Animation Building to wait in line for A&E. Once that queue fills, then they begin to distribute FPs for A&E. It sounds like they are lasting fairly long into the day, so you probably don't have to be there pre-rope drop to get one.

In terms of Olaf, the latest reports indicate that he is no longer using the FP/Return Ticket system, so only the standby line is available. The waits have sounded pretty reasonable; I think it's probably because without the SnowFest, he's kind of out of the way and not as visible.

The Sing Along may also not be using the FP consistently anymore. I don't know the latest, but there were some reports earlier in the summer where Dis'ers were saying that DCA wasn't issuing FPs anymore for the Sing Along. So it might depend on crowds.

Are A&E available during EMH or not until after full park opening?

We saw Olaf this Sunday and Monday. No FP anymore. We saw him mid-afternoon on Sunday and waited 20 minutes. Monday we saw him around noon and waited 10 minutes. I've heard his line can get long first thing in the morning when everyone rushes to him, but then once the morning Rush is gone the waits are pretty reasonable.

Where IS Olaf? DCA? DLR? The princesses are 'okay' but my girls REALLY want to see the snowman.

Olaf is in DCA, by the old Muppet show.

Thank you. And A&E are in the Animation Studio area?

 

[riftguy]

Yup, Anna and Elsa are in the Animation Studio, though their fastpasses are outside the building in one of those portable machines.

If we want A&E FPs for this Sunday for sometime between 12 and 2/3pm, what time do you think we should pull FPs? I booked an Elsa makeover for DD at 10:30am.
