Heard from a Disney store employee...

[Kappagirl]

I was told at the store by an employee that Anna and Elsa were in Norway again last week? Has anyone else heard this? Also told that there is a separate line into the park for park admittance versus Anna and Elsa (to avoid people sprinting ahead when the park opens) and that they walk you over to the fantasyland line. It's the first I've heard of both... Any truth to this?
TIA!

No but they are building a M&G area for them in Norway to go with the ride.

Hadn't heard about this either, but like the PP mentioned, they are building a building for them to M&G in next to the Mexico Pavilion.

First is false, second is sorta true. A&E are not in Froway--not for a while yet anyway--but there is a rope drop walk to them (but not a separate admittance) every morning in MK.

Thanks. Can you elaborate on the rope drop walk to Anna and Elsa? How does that work? If there is not a separate line, how do they prevent people from running over to the line once he park opens?

Disney store employees are just slightly behind bus drivers in terms of reliability.

What they're doing is preventing anyone from running to A&E by walking in front of them, I assume with some sort of rope between them. Anyone heading to A&E would have to stay behind the rope, and obviously they wouldn't be able to move faster than the CMs.

Ok. Thanks. It has been years since I went and never got there early or worried about waiting in lines before this trip. I don't understand the logistics because wouldn't there be multiple ways to get the fantasyland?

I'm wondering the same thing. ???

Everyone is walked down Main Street. At the hub, those going to Adventure or Tomorrow Land head in those directions. The rope then continues to and through the castle for those going to Fantasy Land.

You could go (the looong way) to Fantasy Land through Tomorrow Land, but even if you run you won't make it before the ropers do.

What happens if you have a pre RD ADR? Can you get over to A&E before the CMs?

For sure...I had one in southern Ontario tell us how she was looking forward to going back to WDW to see the "Harry Potter section". When my husband told her that was Universal, she said, "Oh...isn't it all the same place?".

So everyone walks behind CM's to Fantasyland? I assume that people then split into A&E and 7 dwarves ride groups?

Where exactly are people held until rope drop?
