Anna/Elsa at Midnight in June?

[Bubblace]

If I go to see Anna/Elsa at 11 pm/midnight during during the last week of June, what do you think the wait time will be like? I have heard that the ride wait times are minimal after 11 pm, so am hoping to get my 9-yr old -- a Night Owl -- to see them. Unfortunately, we were unable to score a Fast Pass, so am considering alternate strategies. (Rope drop is not a good option for us.) Thanks in advance for your opinions.

When we were there in early March- the wait for Anna and Elsa was at 60mins+ every time we walked by even after 10pm with the exception of one night- it was a Saturday night during wishes- 20 min wait so we ran in. We weren't able to get FP for them either so we just kept walking by at random times and checking the wait on our phones.

When in June are you going? I'll be trying that strategy on 6/16 and will report back on how it works out. This was a last minute trip, not booked 60 days in advance, so we had no chance at FP+ and from what I've been reading closing time sounds like a better bet than rope drop unless your party moves quickly enough to be at/near the from of the rope drop pack.

One thing to keep in mind - wait times are overstated late in the day in order to discourage people from joining the queue. A posted 60 minutes at noon is 60 minutes or more; a posted 60 minutes at 11pm may be as little as 15-20 minutes in reality.

Also, don't forget that they close the line for Anna & Elsa around 11:30 with a midnight close, so you don't want to leave it until too late or you might miss it.

We were there on a pretty high-crowd week in April. Wait time for Anna and Elsa definitely dropped during that trip in the late evening--but not to nothing. I saw 45 mins a few times after 11. It was down to 20 minutes or so after 11:30 on a Magic Kingdom extra-magic hours night. That night we joined the queue for 7DMT at around 12:45 for a 1 am close and the sign for Anna and Elsa said 10 minutes. Have no idea though if the line was closed at that point or the accuracy of the wait.

When we were there last November, during Thanksgiving week. We went into the Cinderella line a few minutes before midnight. We waiting longer than everyone going in for Ana/Elsa. They share a building with each roped waiting area next to each other. I couldn't believe it, they were basically walking right in. Not sure about June, but Thanksgiving week is pretty busy.

I was there in September so yes a quiet time for Disney but the A & E waits were still a couple of hours during the day. I managed to get into see them at about 11.30pm and the wait was about 20mins. Definitely leave it as late as you can!

Also remember it has been reported that sometimes Disney will inflate wait times close to closing time....so if it says 40 it maybe more like 20
