Anna and Elsa Meet and Greet Wait

For just the reason you mention, though opposite.
Everyone goes to MK. They don't need A&E there to draw in anyone.
However, lots of folks skip Epcot. Put A&E there and they will go.
It has nothing to do with characters in multiple parks. They do that all the time

I get that, but the new Frozen attraction itself will be enough of a new draw to Epcot, a meet and greet is something simple that could be offered at both parks.

Totally agree. It's a technique to get more people to Epcot.

AngiTN is completely correct on this. Why is the Frozen show at DHS? To get those families who think there isn't enough for them there to go. Their kids want to sing with them. Now they will get to meet Olaf as well since the Studios is about to get less desirable to many.

And the Frozen Meet & Greet at Epcot is nothing simple, they have spend millions on building them their own place. They spent that to get families into Epcot - and out of the Magic Kingdom. Kids don't know about the ride, and I guarantee many families wouldn't have told them and skipped Epcot BUT kids want to meet Anna & Elsa so now they will go. It sounds like you are one of those families that want to meet them but don't want to go to Epcot. Disney is trying to change that.

Personally we hate Snow White and Aurora banished to dead end corners of Town Square, plus they have limited hours. Each trip we end up missing one or the other, which is disappointing because they are classics. They deserve better.

Yes! Yes they do. People often forget there may have never been a Frozen if there'd never been a Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. Poor Snow White gets very little respect in the parks.
Add to that they have removed, or are removing, Aurora from her rightful home in France, they need a place to find both of them.

When they were closing Snow White and had announced the 7DMT in lieu of Princess cottages my DS and I were talking that it would be cool if they took that space next to FTH that was the Mine Shop (with dead space behind used for offices) and created a Snow White Meet & Greet. Even add a Dwarf with her each time. Right there across from the ride.
