Frozen characters-ridiculous

[kandb]

I know how incredibly popular these characters are. I have seen people mention that the waits to meet them is up to 4 hours. Doesn't Disney take this into account and try to do something to accomidate their guests? Why not have 2 frozen meet and greets? Keep one in Epcot but also have one in the MK? Why make this nearly impossible for a parent to achieve for their child who really wants to meet these characters?

Technically they do. I think the basic problem is finding enough friends of Anna and Elsa (in particular) to meet the insatiable demand.

As for accommodation, reference their move from Norway to MK and the recent additional summer activities at DHS as responses to the demand.

100% agree. My fast pass doesn't open up for another couple days, but already people are posting September weeks are gone when they log in at midnight. I didn't realize I was prone to panic attacks over a couple of characters. Okay, maybe that is a little exaggerated but I am very anxious over this.

Just a thought, is it maybe because as 3D animation gets better it gets harder to find friends that look like the characters. Just like Disney does very few characters from non animated movies or TV. Remember all the posts from people asking if the could meet Hanna Montana.

Also its central Florida, its not like they can go to any corner coffee shop or restaurant and find a 100 actresses at the drop of a hat like they can in LA.

I'm anxious too, and I know it's silly to most people, but my daughter truly loves Frozen and Elsa in particular. She will be crushed if we can't meet her, and I kind of will too! My window doesn't open until October, and I'm super anxious about getting fast passes. We will fight RD if we can't get any, and hope for the best.

I'm pretty sure they talent scout nation wide.... I have a friend who was recruited at LSU in Louisiana. She played Cinderella at WDW for about 5 years. She was a theatre major.

I wish you luck! I have a feeling this will be me for the next week.

I'm extremely anxious. Our window opens tonight and im terrified that there will be nothing left. Other posters arriving a few days before us have reported A&E sold out for almost our entire trip and this is before we even get to our FP+ window!!! We never had a chance

At least there is FP for A&E at WDW, we are visiting DLR this year and there is only standby
