Fast pass question for Anna and Elsa

[LeanneDownUnder]

Hi there,
We are coming in November for a 5 day stay and last time we came there was no "Frozen" characters but from reading I understand we need a fast pass to see the ladies of Frozen is that correct? And so if that is correct can we have a fast past for Anna and Elsa and also RSR at the same time?
What's the best way to keep the boys and the girls in my group happy if we want to do both things .. Is it possible?

Thanks

It's definitely possible - the biggest question mark is whether RSR will be open any day you are there during your fastpass window. I find the stars align for us about 1/3 of the time so most days we at least try to get a RSR FP and see what happens.

The A&E FP is disconnected from the rest. We were at the perks a few weeks ago and went on a non-MM day (we stay off site). At rope drop RSR was not open - they called it a "Delayed opening" so FP's were not available so we went and did stuff like Toy Story, Mickey's Fun Wheel and Goofy's Sky School (4x in a row - it was walk on so they just let us stay in our seats!). Then I used MouseWait to see that RSR was now open so we went and got a FP - it was about 9am by now and our FP return time was for noon. Then we went over to the A&E FP machine (just past the entrance to the animation academy). The FP return time was for 9:15 so we went and rode Monsters (also walk on) and were done by 9:10 and went to get in line at A&E. (the CM let us in even though it was a few minutes before our FP window started). The line was maybe 5 groups of folks ahead of us and sure enough by 9:20 we were outside A&E's door ready to meet them. Later in the day FP's for A&E are usually available but the window may not be for a few hours from when you get it.

On days when RSR goes down during the day assuming it comes back up the FP return line can be an hour or more - we don't even try to ride it on those days. We just hope that during any one trip we'll get to ride it once which is what happened on our last 5 day trip. I'm sure there are others who have had much better luck than us - we've gone during off peak, spring break, summer and Christmastime.
