FP+ for characters?

[lake effect]

My kids are 4 and 6 and like meeting characters and collecting autographs and pics with them. We are doing several character meals which will take care of many of their desired characters (Tusker House, Cape May, H&V, Akershus and 1900 Park Fare). Aside from characters we will meet at those restaurants, are there other characters that we should really consider a FP+ for? Rapunzel? Or should her line be manageable without one? Any others that would be worth a FP?

(They of course would love to meet A&E but we couldn't get a FP so are still figuring out if we will even attempt to see them).

personally I would get a FP for Rapunzel

also - Tinker Bell

Enchanted Tales with Belle (while not technically a meet/ greet and you should meet her in Norway - it is a great experience)

The talking Mickey in town square was amazing and the FP saved us a lot of time. Tink's line was often in the 10-15 minute range so I'm not sure it's worth a FP. It was also available as a fourth pass on two of our three MK days. I'd definitely FP Rapunzel. That ended up being our longest line in all of WDW.

We were there last week on crowd level 5 days and the line for Rapunzel was always at least 20 min when we checked (not at RD) and upwards of 40 min so we never waited. Ariel's grotto also had a decent wait but you will meet her at Akershus (in her princess costume. Not sure how she greets at MK).

Ariel is in her tail at MK. The girls in our family liked that much better than the dress at Akershus. YMMV.

If you can catch Talking Mickey and Tinkerbell at RD I would not use a FP+ for them. Everyone is running to A&E and 7D and you can go to the right talk to Mickey, see Tink and then go down Main Street once the crazy runners are in FL. Hehe.

We got a FP for A&E and Cind&Rap. Seems like wait times have accelerated since they are with A&E now. If you are going to see one, you go into see the other kind of thing...
