Anna & Elsa

[kapoof]

Due to how popular they are, why can't disney put them at mk, Epcot, and dhs? I would think that would be a great option?

I believe it. I booked right at midnight the 1st day our window opened. Our trip is 6/1-6/6. Our last day 6/6 was the only one with any choice. The days 6/3, 6/4 and 6/5 had availability if I did the book one person trick. The 6/1 and 6/2 dates had nothing. I ended up booking 2 different days. The timeslot on our last day probably works best but I worry about how long even the fastpass wait is going to be. We have an early evening flight out but I don't want to stress about it. I will end up cancelling one or the other timeslot when I shore up our plans. I am sure I am not the only one who booked more then 1 slot. We need a Elsa/Anna Fastpass cancellation thread like they have for dining reservations. I imagine it will be the hottest ticket in town for awhile... that is till the mine train opens!!

I did the same thing! We're also going the first week of June, and I waited until midnight and booked them the first possible minute I could. I used the one-person-at-a-time method for our arrival day, but it's going to be rushed even if we make it. I booked it for our departure day too just in case we miss them that first day.

I'm hoping we don't and that I can release my backup FP+ back into the wild for someone else to enjoy.

I was able to snag a couple last week, and we're leaving in 11 days I just kept refreshing the page and suddenly a spot opened on the day we needed so I grabbed it, copied it over to my daughter and we're in! Just keep trying! Good luck!! Oh, and two days in a row they opened up for me around 9pm central time.

So my window opened today for our trip 6/5-6/11 but I'm not even seeing Anna and Elsa as an option for FP as I'm booking. I'm assuming this means there are none available? Ate they only available to book at Epcot right now or can you book at MK yet?

Is this intuitive to see on the screen (copying over reservations or booking one a time with overlapping times)? I'm not in my booking window yet and I'm just wondering how the software works.

My 60 days came up Saturday. At 11 pm CST on Friday, I logged on and booked my A&E FP. June 7th only had one time that conflicted with our ADR. Luckily it wasn't our only day and I booked one on the 9th. Then I got to thinking about it and it was close to our CRT ADR and I was worried about lines even with FP so I moved it to June 10 which had openings ALL day where the others only had afternoon ones.

Just conversation:

Anna & Elsa in Norway have never had FP, and as far as I know they still don't; there's no way to do it in that area. FP+ will only come into play when they move to Princess Fairytale Hall at MK (which has always been set up for FP lines).

Now here's a question about the upcoming A & E situation at MK - I guess there will be some advantage to an early breakfast ADR just to get you at least to the castle, but how does "rope drop" work from there? They have to hold you somewhere, right? You can't get any farther than the castle/hub area before park opening, can you? Sounds like a whole new "running of the bulls."

Where is the dining cancellation thread? I will be canceling a be our guest ADR and CRT soon!

Not sure how to link it from my phone but I just searched May ADR and it was the first thread to show up.
I can't pm you (sorry everyone) because I've just joined - but would your CRT ADR be for May 10??

When I went back into my fast passes to verify that it saved my reservation, it gave me the option to "copy" to another guest

FYI it is midnight Eastern when your window opens, so for instance I was able to book at 11:00 pm Central on Thursday night. Choose your MK day that is furthest out because fewer people are within their window for that date.

This was from inside the store, no line to see it here.

Is it listed as Anna and Elsa at MK? I only had option for Cinderella and Rapunzel.

Only FP+ at MK for A and E. You can book them starting with anytime you pick MK as the park for visits 4/20 or later. You can book them now.

Yes, it is listed as "Meet Elsa and Anna at Princess Fairytale Hall", or something like that. Depending on your dates, many people are reporting all the A&E passes are gone already. Cinderella and Rapunzel are the other 2 princesses who meet at Princess Fairytale Hall.

 

[SomDayMyPrnceWillCom]

Yeah. I thought so. I wasn't able to book my FP til later in the morning and didn't see the option even listed at MK so I guessed I was too late. My DD18 will just have to get up early for RD on our MK day if she wants to meet, which she does. I will take my DS who will be 5 months then and push him around MK while she waits in that line.

I read somewhere the choice only shows up on computer not MDE app.

Does anyone have any ideas of what time of the day is best to check for passes that have been opened up? I don't want to spend all day, every day, for the next 3 weeks...checking for these silly passes.

The advice given on here was at midnight or end of day. For me, I saw passes open twice around 10pm ET. I just kept refreshing the page while I watched tv

This is correct.

 

[mexican-mouseketeers]

I am wondering, what if one makes and ADR for Crystal Palace just to be able to at the front of the park and the rope closest to Fantasyland, and just misses the ADR?

For some it might be worth to lose the no show fee at the restaurant in order to meet Anna and Elsa.

I don´t think that we will need to do this when we go, but I just thought about it.

On the other hand, we are planning on making rope drop, and would like to know which side will work best to reach Fairytale hall faster. We usually have breakfast at Crystal Palace, so tend to go up to the castle on that side, by the cinderella fountain, but don´t know if it is possible or better to go the other way, or if it is possible to go through the castle now (I am almost sure this hasn´t been an option when we have been there)
