Anna and Elsa

[creatingmemories]

We tried the first day we could to get Fast Passes to meet Anna and Elsa but have had no luck. What are your best suggestions on trying to meet them without waiting for hours?! We are going the second week of November.

We were at Disney this past March and were able to see Anna & Elsa with a 20 min wait one night during Wishes.

If you can keep everyone up late, the closer to park closing you get, the shorter the wait. Around 11pm/midnight I've seen waits drop to 10-20 min.

Might be hard to keep small kids up that late, but it'll be the shortest waits.

keep your eyes open you never know what might show up

or get to MK at lest 30 minutes before park opens go to the tunnel not the middle in front of the train ( you might not get a good view of the welcome show) then walk as fast as you can to you should not have that long of a wait. or you can try going during wishes

Keep checking! I couldn't get it at 60 days out (well, actually 66 days) but snagged 4 around 45 days out. The other 5 of us were just going to skip it. But then this week I randomly snagged 9 together - not just overlapping - at 14 days out.

Don't give up!

We used EasyWDW wait times when we couldn't get a FP+

http://www.easywdw.com/waits/

It worked out great! We saw the wait drop to something like 15 - 18 minutes on EasyWDW-waits. The posted wait at the entrance was about 45 minutes. But EasyWDW was correct. We were meeting the sisters in less than 20 minutes. My family are big fans of Josh from Easywdw!

Awesome! I will look into EasyWDW. Thanks for the tip!

Here are explicit instructions (wait, I meant "specific", not "explicit"...I think) on how to see A&E at rope drop with no wait.

Be on the first MK bus from your resort, this will get you to the MK about 40 minutes before opening. Go to a Mickey Reader with the shortest line. For some reason people tend to go to Mickey readers with long lines but all Mickey Readers will be operational so just go to the one with the short (or no) line. Once you're scanned in go to one of the tunnels. Be as close to the front of the tunnel as possible. When the welcome show is over and they let you in get to the front of the crowd next to the rope. Once you get to the end of Main Street the Cast Members will announce one rope going to A&E and the other rope going to 7DMT. Follow the A&E rope being as close to the front as possible. Be on the left side of the rope. Once you walk through the castle you will walk left around the carousel and the stroller parking, so those on the right side of the crowd will have to merge left, that's why you want to be left. A cast member will walk right into the A&E line, so follow that CM. Using this strategy you will be in the first few groups to see A&E. The key is to be as close to the rope as possible when you get to the end of Main Street.

Keep in mind that the A&E lines closes a half hour before park closing time. Early this summer, we found a 10 minute wait just before 11:30 pm. The posted wait was 90 minutes.

We still had time to ride 7D twice before the park closed at midnight. The posted wait was 65.

We felt that this was a very efficient use of about 40 minutes, and much better than what could be accomplished in the morning.

Keep trying, I was able to get 2 fastpasses just the other day.

I'll be there same week. I was just poking around MDE and looking at options and that M&G came up on multiple days. Keep looking. You'll get it!

Keep in mind that the A&E lines closes a half hour before park closing time. Early this summer, we found a 10 minute wait just before 11:30 pm. The posted wait was 90 minutes.

Last year the posted time was 70 and the line was just inside the building. I was told by a CM that if you see the line is just inside the wait time should be about 30 min. It was on a Sun MNNSHP night while a parade was going on and they said they will sometime keep the posted time a lot higher then it is. Thought being is that everyone would see a 30 min wait and rush over there and then end up waiting an hour and be upset that the wait said 30.

If you can stay up late, go right before closing. We have walked right in to see them twice right before closing. Both days the wait time to see them during the day was over an hour!
