Frozen Ever After LIVE reports!

[marciemi]

We rode it this afternoon. It seemed to be up and running most of the day. We waited about 10 minutes with FP when the standby line was about 75. All the animatronics seemed to be working, including the first Olaf. I thought it was a great ride. We all enjoyed it.

Same for us! (Last time the last Olaf wasn't working for us). About 10 min with FPP at 2pm. Did you get a pic? We had the flash but none of my pics from today are showing in Photopass, including regular posed ones at the entrance.

Rode yesterday evening. Elsa was kinda moving but the audio didn't work at all in that scene. Really disappointing. We had a FP, so it wasn't the end of the world, but I couldn't imagine waiting two hours for that experience.

We rode it yesterday and loved it! Everything was working properly for us.

Our pic from yesterday afternoon finally showed up around 10pm last night (we're the ones in purple!). Was able to download it, but no new FEA-specific borders or stickers available on Photopass yet.

QUESTION for everyone --- IF I have a 8Am RES at Garden Grill and get out at say 8:45 --- Will they let me walk back and get in line???? Before 9 Am??

Or will it be roped off somewhere??

You will get held at Mexico with the rest of the crowd entering at RD. Only way to get ahead of that pack that I can think of would be to leave breakfast around 8:30 to ensure you are first at the rope at Mexico. But not sure you could get through breakfast that fast? The only ones able to avoid the rope at Mexico, so far as I can tell, are those entering from Akershus.

The ride is going to be fast pass only mostly because of capacity issues so says Josh from easywdw. So when you see it down on the apps, it's not always down, it is just closed to standby.

BUT I am thinking it shouldnt be THAT bad since anyone at that point will still have to have a Breakfast res since gates open at 9 Am??? All THOSE ppl still have to get all the way back there -- Right???

They actually let the rope drop mob in around 8:45, then hold them at Mexico until 9am.

I don't think you'd have a reasonable chance of beating them coming from a Garden Grill breakfast, which is not a buffet, so you'd have to order & wait to be served your meal, pay, eat the meal & meet some characters, all before 8:35 at the latest, so you could then rush over to Mexico to try to beat the rope drop crowd and await 9am. Yuck, and no, it likely won't work unless you choke down your food and give Farmer Mickey the cold shoulder.

Soarin', you could beat the rope drop people to having an 8am GG breakfast, but Frozen, not likely. You'll need to either get an Akershus ressie, or just cancel GG and show up early for rope drop.

As pp stated, they let them in about 8:45. So you need to be ahead of that. If you can manage that, I think you'll be fine, I don't think you'll get held trying to exit GG.

But if the main park opens at 9Am. The only ppl IN THE PARk are those that had a breakfast res. So I should be only dealing with ppl ALREADY in the park Right???

 

[tddtex]

I saw a video of a MOB entering, But I figured those were all PPL that were coming Into the park from the Main gate. I should be 10 minutes are so AHEAD of those ppl if I am thinking it right.

First ppl in line -- Ankerust ppl with Reservations. Then second ppl in line -- Anyone else in the park before 9 Am , THEN the rush of ppl from the main gate??????

The mob from the main gate enters around 8:45.

Yesterday, looked like a very good day of FEA as the nerd in me, kept checking on the MDE about 10 times throughout the day and never saw a temporary closed. Glad to see the added a photo-op on the ride!! Yes, frozen borders would be great!

No Fast pass available that day for us and we are only there for 2 days and it is our ONLY day in Epcot.

That will be the only thing we can do -- Get to the park real early -- Be one of the first ones seated and eat on the quick side.
Already have a FP to Soarin so we are good there. I think even if we are caught at rope drop and have to wait an hour or so -- it is what it is. At least it will be first thing in the Am.
This is our 11th trip to Disney in 9 year sso we have seen everything else . So Frozen and Saorin will be our main 2 attractions to hit.

THANKS!!
