Elsa and Anna meet and greet - still long wait times w/o FP?

[2ndstar to the right]

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone who has been to the park lately can tell me if there are still really long wait times for Elsa and Anna meet and greet if you don't have a Fast Pass? I wasn't able to get a fast pass exactly 60 days out at midnight (had some issues at home) and when I was finally able to try 2 days later, all the FPs were gone for our entire 1 week trip.
Anyway, my strategy is going to be to get to the park at rope drop and make a bee line for the meet and greet and pray for a wait that a 2 year old can actually manage. Hoping for any advice, observations, tips, etc. Thank You!!

This will vary depending on crowd levels when you go, but... I was there the week of 4/10 and was surprised to see a posted wait time of (only) 45 minutes in the middle of the day. From all accounts, wait times for A&E are no longer what they once were.

Don't stop checking for FP, either; things can change.

Oh, and I have NO knowledge or experience with this at all, but maybe someone who does will chime in - is it possible you're better off not being in the crush of people going straight there at RD but trying later when the original rush has moved through??

Go during parades.

Last week the wait times ranged from 100 minutes down to 40 or so for all times up until the MSEP and Wishes. Immediately after Wishes, the posted wait was 15 minutes, but there didn't appear to be a single person in line.

Go either after Wishes, or during the 2nd showing of MSEP.

Their waits have dropped since they first started meeting a while ago. That said, you're still talking an average of about 50 minutes or more in line. My suggestion would to either go during a parade or better yet get in line as late in the day as possible (they generally close their line 30-60 mins before park close; check the Times Guide).
