Anna & Elsa..with no FP+

[BranNich]

We were unable to get the Anna/Elsa FP+. Our plan is to head there immediately in the morning. Has anyone done this? And how long did you wait??

Experiences vary anywhere from 10-15 minutes on up to 60 or more. It highly depends on whether or not you are in the rope drop crowd, and how far in the front you are in that rope drop crowd.

We just got back from Disney World and were also unable to get the FPs for Anna and Elsa. We went during a parade one night and only waited 45 minutes to an hour. Not bad at all and my little princess was over the moon!!!
Have fun!!!

If you're going during a non holiday week, be at the tapstile at or before 8:15 am. Skip the show and stand AT THE RIGHT TUNNEL ROPE. If you don't have a stroller and can stay right behind the CM until you are at the Princess Hall, you'll be in and out quickly. The people who are five minutes behind you will be waiting an hour.

If you're interested in an alternate strategy, we visited A&E last summer just before 11:30 pm. The posted wait time was 90 minutes but the actual wait was less than 10.

We still had time to ride 7D twice before the park closed at midnight.

We were there the weekend after Thanksgiving, and I missed RD by 15 minutes. We waited an hour and a half. It was long for me, but my 4 year old made a BFF with the girl behind us in line, and she had a blast waiting. Those first few minutes getting into the park make a big difference I guess.

We were there early Aug last year, had a fp+ to meet anna and elsa, come to find, we didn't end up needing it lol we were there early that morning because we had appts at the bbb for my two oldest girls, as soon as park opened we made our way to meet rapunzel and cinderella since we didn't have fp+ for them, except we got in the wrong line and ended up meeting anna and elsa instead....happy mistake for sure lol we were in line less than 10 min for them and then hurried back in to get into the line (the right line lol) to meet rapunzel and cinderella, waited about 10-15 min for that. By the time we got out the wait was well over 40 min for cinderella and rapunzel and 60 min for anna and elsa though. If you're able to get there early, definitely do it, and if the park has emh that day even better, you might have to wait a bit but it might not be as bad as if you get there later.

Never did early AM, but if it's an option for your group, try heading over there late at night.

Obviously not an option with little ones, but for our group it cut the wait time to about 30-40 minutes from the insane 240 minutes in the morning.

Just back from a visit in mid-March. We had FP + but we noticed one time we walked by and noticed a wait time of 15 minutes. This wasn't super late at night but was early evening. Maybe everyone was eating dinner?

Thanks for all the info! We have an 8:10 am res at Crystal Palace so if that ends up running late I'm thinking we are going to try to get in line late at night. My girls are teens but still want to meet Anna/Elsa. Haha !
