At EPCOT now Anna n Elsa OH MY!

[Goldilocks07]

I really think the easiest solution would be to replace the photo op with Belle, and make it w Anna and Elsa.
Then everyone at breakfast not only gets to meet them, but also gets the picture to take home.
Omg the meals there will sell out 180 days in advance no doubt, AND it frees up meet n greets for the rest of us.

Someone asked if you could easily see them from the gift shop or sidewalk...the day we went, YES. The whole wall was open in the gift shop so we easily got pics without waiting (see my profile pic). We were there when they were finishing for the day and they walked right through the gift shop when they left AND stopped to talk to a few girls who were in there.

See, I wish they weren't visible from the shop or sidewalk. I think that if the wait is that unreasonable they should be out of sight. It simply isn't fair to all the little girls (and their families) whose families simply do not have the time to wait in those lines. It's bad enought to tell a little one that she won't see them...but to have her actually "see" them as the family walks by? Can you imagine the meltdowns and affects this has on people's plans/schedules????

I have a friend that just waited 4.5 hrs yesterday and a group in front of them was offered $500 for their spot when they were at the 2hr wait.

DEAL!!!

Here's hoping they are added to the Norway character meal!! I would actually try the restaurant.

The restaurant is excellent. You should try it regardless.

yes! I concur.

They're going to be in the MK parade?

Yes! http://www.wesh.com/themeparks/disney/frozen-sisters-to-appear-in-new-magic-kingdom-parade/24815788

 

[Disney Diva Mom]

Ha ha - I would love too try it! I have two boys and they are not really up for the princesses. But the youngest LOVES Frozen so I might be able to convince them to go. (Otherwise they indulge me with a photo with Cinderella at the CRT and that's it for the princesses.)

I was looking at the schedule for Elsa and Anna and it does not show them after March 15. It says to call for availability. When I did they told me that they did not know if they will be there or not. We have reservations at Akershus on March 16 for lunch and I am trying to decide if we need to change plans and go March 15. Anyone have any insight on this? I cannot imagine they will not be there with their movie coming out on DVD March 18.

although it sounds like some kids are ok with just seeing them even if they can't meet them .... they definitely should make it known that you can/will see them if you go in the store so you know if you want to avoid it

Yes! http://www.wesh.com/themeparks/disney/frozen-sisters-to-appear-in-new-magic-kingdom-parade/24815788

Thanks. A bit of hope for those that don't want to wait in a ridiculous line to see them.

I'm pretty sure they will still be meeting but I'm not sure how having reservations for lunch helps you? Are you planning to stand in line first thing in the morning and then eat lunch?

 

[DNightmare]

So if they are adding Anna and Else to the parade at Magic Kingdom, what are they doing when they are not in the parade? I can't imagine you pay someone to be a character in a 40 minute parade, get them all in makeup and costume and that is all they do all day. Isn't there a chance that they will meet around the parade, isn't that what a lot of the other characters do there?

It can vary greatly what they do before or after. But yes, getting to ready to just wave and smile on parade is an option.

We have a late lunch scheduled at Akershus. I only made the reservation because my daughter loves the princesses and hopes to see Ariel there. I was hoping to be at Epcot at RD and have my husband do the sprint to get a place in line. I would hope we would be finished with meeting Anna and Elsa by 1:50 for lunch. I am really hoping my daughter will decide she does not want to wait in the long line and be fine with a peak of them through the gift shop. Just trying to find out if they will be there after March 15th since it is not showing any times for them.

 

[disneyerin]

We got to the park at opening, I ran at almost full speed to Norway, got there at maybe 9:06, and it was announced there was a 3.5-4 hour wait for the princesses.
***.
And what a bummer.
My daughter is so upset.
Has Epcot not figured it out yet?????

Gotcha! I highly, highly doubt they will discontinue but you never know I guess.

 

[mefordis]

They need to get the princesses out of Akershus, put Anna and Elsa in there and charge about $68.99 for breakfast and $88.99 for dinner.

Oh, and maybe add a lunch, too.

Right now they aren't making anything extra off of them, and they are losing money in the Norway shop because people aren't able to get in there.

I would have taken that in a heart beat.

I saw a permit suggesting that the Fairies are moving to Town Square. It's possible that they'll move into the Fairy spot, but that also seems unlikely to happen in just the next week.

I'm glad we are not visiting until 2015. Hopefully by then there will be FP+ for A & E. DD6 would love to meet them, Besides Sophia, she is all about Frozen. Our next visit I'm planning CRT but if I have to do Akershus Breakfast, I will.
