Elsa & Anna FP - am I wasting my time?

[staceyeileen]

That can work but you won't be able to book for a child under age 7 unless you can also book one for somebody 14 or older, because kids under 7 won't be allowed in by themselves and if you don't have a FP you can't go with them.

That's true. We usually book the FPs for the adults and then just let a kid go instead.

This is the only fp that I worry about too. We are staying on property but I've heard people complaining that even at midnight they haven't been able to get this fp. I have 2 boys my older son is 8 and my younger son will be around 20 months when we travel to Disney. But the fp is actually more for my younger son. He is absolutely obsessed with the movie Frozen and all things frozen and I know his eyes will just light up if he gets to meet Anna and Elsa. Anyways good luck in your search! Hopefully u can get some fp!

Seriously, just keep an eye on here and on MDE. I got mine for A&E when someone on here said that Disney had put a whole bunch more FPs in to the system. I got a Toy story FP just by obsessively checking. It works.

Just wanted to let you know the early morning ADR path can work. Get to the check in line for ADRs at the park early, so you can be one of the first groups seated, let your server know your plan (they see people doing this all the time, and if they know you're in a rush, they also know they won't need to stop by to check on how you're doing, which helps them out).

We did this in November at CRT, with an 8:05 reservation. We were the 2nd table seated that morning, finished eating and visiting the princesses in less than 45 minutes, and had time to hit the restrooms before heading to the internal rope (just past the Castle, in front of the carousel). Stay to the left side of that rope -- the cast members will lead you around the carousel and into the A&E line. We were in and out in 15 minutes!

not sure what the PP meant but it does work to book for 2 adults and then have one adult enter with a child taking the other adult's band - I'm sure you weren't referring to sending two little kids in without an adult, as they wouldn't be allowed in by the CMs anyway.

Yep, that's what I meant. The kids were only 4 so definitely not going in by themselves!

We originally had a pair of FP for my friend and her daughter only, then at the last minute - the night before, I believe - we managed to get 1 more for my band with a very short period of overlapping time. So, of course I let my son go in with the others instead of me.

I am shocked, that Anna/Elsa M&G is still so difficult for a family to book. I had hoped Disney would've eased the pain a bit by now.

Keep trying! I got an A&E meet and greet for January 30th just a few days ago!

As plan B I heartily recommend the Frozen sing along show in DHS (theatre next to Cars photo opp and around the corner from the Muppets). 4 adults attended a couple weeks ago and it was FABULOUS. all the main characters, special effects, an adult-friendly narration....we loved it. Very surprised

Adult friendly narration is a good way to put it....for those with older children, beware that the double enterdes are in full force. Goes right over the head of most young children, but the older may understand or ask about it. Nothing completely out of line, but definitely a bit surprising to hear in a show meant for the under 10 crowd.

Just my opinion, I know I've seen threads get heated over whether the narration is offensive......note I did NOT say it was offensive, but a bit more than I was expecting from a kids show inside Disney.

Obviously every family has its own "threshold"....so parents who are concerned might want to seek out a youtube. If you skip past the characters talking and singing and just focus on the male and female narrators (mostly the male), you can make an informed decision without ruining the show for yourself.

We couldn't secure a FP either for my 8yr and 6yr old daughters, even at the 60day mark when we went Nov 13-18. I'd try first thing. Even if it's a 30-40 min wait, they'll enjoy it. This is the one character greet I thought they'd just rush us through, but you spend about 1-2 quality minutes with Anna and Elsa. I didn't expect that. They were very interactive with the girls. We went during the MVMCP and waited about 30min, so not sure if that time spent with them changes when the wait is 90-120min.

They eased the pain a lot from back when you had to wait up to 7 hours in line at Epcot to meet the sisters.

The greatest impact has come from moving to the MK where they are not limited to one pair meeting at a time like they were at Epcot.
