I was planning to do these the same day since the girls will be dressed up. I currently have a 4:10pm lunch but I am second guessing that if the last show is 5:30. Right now the shows seem to be 12:30,3:30, 5:30 but not dates for June yet. Will the schedule likely be the same? I plan to make boutique reservations today and was thinking about:

2pm boutique
4:10-pm - lunch
5:30pm - show


I think dinner is too close to the show. How soon before the show should I plan to be there? Are there FP for the show? Should I switch to a 3pm lunch and 1pm boutique times instead?
 
The Frozen show is no longer using FPs. People recommend arriving about 60 minutes before showtime to get the best seats. Character dining takes about 90 minutes on average. With that in mind, I agree that your lunch reservation is too close to your chosen showtime. Have you looked at the Frozen Dining Packages instead of Ariel's? Those packages come with a special seating section for the show.
 
You definitely can't make that work. I would probably do the first frozen show, then hair, then lunch. I think that you might not want to be dressed up waiting in the heat for entry into the show. THe PP is totally right on the timing. The Frozen dining package is a completely different experience than princess lunch. Its completely awesome but expensive and fancy.
 
4:10 is definitely cutting it too close to the 5:30 show, especially in June. You should plan to be there about an hour before. When it gets to the summer they might add a fourth show per day (they had 4 last summer, but of course it had just opened), but of course we don't know yet.
 

We saw the 2:30 show on Monday this week. We got there about an hour early, and the orchestra area was already closed, and mezzanine was almost full. Maybe 10 minutes after we got there it was balcony only. It was miserable waiting outside until they opened the doors about 20 minutes before the show, and then it was three flights of stairs up to the mezzanine. Quite fun. That being said, our mezzanine seats were fine and the show itself was really high quality. I would definitely recommend it, but be prepared for the whole experience!
 
IMO, the show is kind of wasting time that they're dressed up. I would maybe see it a different day (or earlier than the appointment), and spend the day they're dressed up doing the character meal and actually meeting Elsa/Anna.
