Do I have a snowball's chance in Arendelle?

[4under4]

If DD & I go to MK for EMH, is there a chance (given the new process) that we can see Elsa/Anna &/or Rapunzel within the first hour? DH & DSs will be at Epcot for rope drop, and while I don't mind a short delay in arriving there, I don't want to spend the entire morning apart, and I certainly don't want us to have separate FP+ selection from the rest of the family.

Also, on a different day we have pre-park open breakfast at CP. I know in the past we were able to wander up to the far edge of the castle to wait for rope drop if we finished before 9:00. What is the process now with the running of the [E/A crazy] bulls?

TIA

Rapunzel, yes. Anna and Elsa without FP+, no--sorry.

I am interested in knowing the new process if you have an ADR at CP and are out before 9am. Will we be allowed to proceed to the interior rope and be ahead of all the people being let I. At rope drop at front entrance? We do not yet have FP for E&A yet and I'm not planning on getting them so my only hope is being one if the first at the interior rope and hope our wait is under an hour! Anyone have any experiences? Or success stories that don't include being lucky after 5pm?

Anyone have any current experiences with morning ADR in MK?? Would live to hear them to help me with my decision!

We had an 8:10 ADR at CP on 5-13 and were done around 8:50. We were held at the Castle until park opening.

I was there two weeks ago and we had an 8 am ADR at CRT. We got out about 8:45 and got to line up at the ropes right by the fairytale hall. We were right up front (my daughter kept messing with the rope lol) We had fastpasses for Anna and Elsa so we went straight to fantasyland when they dropped the ropes, but there were several cast members directing people around the carousel and making sure nobody was running etc.

Doesn't a snowball have a pretty darn good chance in Arendelle?

Did you happen to see how long the stand by line was? I have 8:05 ADR at CP and will make sure we are at the interior ripe no later than 8:45 so we hope to not have to wait any longer than an hour in stand by? Your thoughts?

Yes, my experience is from Saturday, May 10th. Had an ADR at Crystal Palace at 8:10 AM. We finished up early and went through the castle at 8:45 AM. Right before Sir Mickey's and Mickey's Philharmagic is a rope that blocks you from getting into Fantasyland. They will not drop that rope until guests from opening are lead up right behind you and management is in place. Then you must circle the carousel in order to get to Princess Fairytale Hall. I have a feeling most people tend to veer to the left as that's the direction you go before circling the carousel. However, we stayed on the right that got us in the inward track right next to the carousel. We ended up 5th in line to meet Anna and Elsa.

Im sorry I didnt. My husband and I were so busy trying to avoid the flock of people we went clear out and around the mass groups lol. But I think if you were at the front, right by the rope, and stuck to the inside of the "path" you should be able to get into line ahead of the MASSIVE pack of people! Good luck!! My girls loved meeting them, they spent so much time with them!
