Character Dining Vs Regular Meet & Greets?

[JVivlemore]

My daughter is a Frozen, Doc McStuffins, and Micky/Minnie fan. She's 3. I'm assuming Mickey and Minnie do most of the character meals during the day but does Doc happen to do any of them by chance? How about Elsa and Anna from Frozen? It would be great to knock out most of the "wanted" pictures without standing in all those lines and also feed her at the same time since it will be her first trip.

The only character meal with Mickey is the Surf's Up breakfast buffet at Paradise Pier. Otherwise, it is pretty easy to meet Mickey and Minnie in DL in TT (at their individual houses) and in TS. Mickey is easy to find in DCA on BVS. Sometimes Minnie can be found there, too. Anna and Elsa have their own M&G in DCA at the Animation Bldg. It is easy to meet them. They don't do a character meal. I haven't heard of Doc McStuffins doing a character meal either.

Thanks! Is the Anna/Elsa Meet & Greet wait time still very long inside California Adventure?

Usually not too long, unless it's a really high crowd time. When will you be visiting?

 

[JVivlemore]

We arrive on Sunday (2/26) and will hit one of the parks that afternoon/evening (probably California Adventure). Will be there all day Monday (thinking Disneyland) and then half the day on Tuesday (not sure which park that day).

Then the lines to meet Anna and Elsa shouldn't be too bad, especially if you get there early.

Good news. Thanks!

Doc meets right outside the building where Anna and Elsa meet, and she's not hard to wait for, either. She's on the app, and if you hang out right when her set starts, you can usually meet her quickly.

If you happen to hit Anna and Elsa with a long line, just try back later - their line can get long right when the Frozen show ends, or sometimes when Turtle Talk ends, but it usually dies down; if there are more than 5-6 groups in line, I won't wait and will come back.
