its our 1 st time going with the kids (5 and 6) so want to make sure we see the characters. Generally how bad are the lines for the meet and greets in MK and Epcot? We have a fast pass for Anna and Elsa but wondering if we should get a fast pass or if they are easy to get once you have used your first three?

We were there in early December and had FP+ for the character spot in Epcot. With FP+, we waited ~15 minutes. As best as I could tell, the standby line was equally fast. I remember waiting in the same line for 30-45 minutes (standby) in August of an earlier year, so I think it really depends on what time of year you plan on going...
 
The best place to see a lot of cool characters is at character palooza at dhs. I
 
We check the times and make sure to be in line BEFORE the character comes out, usually about 5-10 minutes before. I check times with Kenny the Pirate, his whole website is devoted to character meets. I think our longest wait was for Mulan in Epcot's China. We've got FP's to see Anna and Elsa next month and ones to see Cinderella and Rapunzel, and seeing lots of characters with the character dining. The others we'll just wing it, though I do want to make it a priority to meet Stitch and Ariel. We have a toddler so if the line is too long then we just skip it.
 

Fp were amazing when we went last weekend. We never had a wait... and could get fp for almost anything after. .. except Peter pan, soarin, and test track
