How long did you wait WITH an A&E FP+?

Pretty simple. Touring Plans is predicting 35 min for my 11am FP+ return time wait. Does that sound right?
 
We had a 1pm FP in May (I believe it was May 10th) and the standby line was 300 minutes. We were able to walk right in and only had 1 family in front of us. From the time we got there and walked out, it was maybe 10 minutes max. From what I have read though, this is not the norm, so hopefully others will respond.
 
When we used our FP+ for Anna & Elsa in May we walked right up the scanner, scanned our magic bands and entered the line where there were 3 groups ahead of us. We stood in that line about 10-12 minutes. Once we entered the room where the princesses are we waited about another 10 minutes. Anna & Elsa spent a good amount of time with each group.

When we first got in line I thought "we'll see them in 5 minutes" but it wasn't that quick. It reminded me of waiting for Mickey. You think you are close but there is always another room/ line past what you can actually see.

35 minutes is a lot better than 120+ minutes!
 

We had a FP+ for Anna and Elsa this past Saturday at 12:30. It took us about 15 minutes to get in with the princesses. There were several families ahead of us in line and they spent quite a bit of time with each family.
 
So maybe 35 minutes is worst case if there are a lot of FP families ahead. Seems 20 min is more likely. Thanks.
 
Early May it was about 20 minutes for us, but there were what I probably-not-so-politely call "character hogs" taking up a lot of the girls' time. And no, I didn't say anything out loud to them or about them, so I was not rude.
 
We waited about 15 minutes but I think a bit of that was due to a child throwing up ahead of us and we couldn't get by or around it in the hallway until it was cleaned...:scared:
 
We had a late afternoon FP+ on a weekday in May and there were 2 families ahead of us in the FP+ line. I would say we only waited about 15-20 min outside, then once we got inside the actual room it was prob another 10 min.
 
We scanned right into the room and waited for 3 families in front of us. Probably about 10 minutes tops. This was on Thursday we got to the FP+ line about 11:15 AM.
 
Around 1:00 pm in early May we waited about 10 min in the first hallway then 5-10 min in the room with the princesses. Of course, this was when Aurora was still meeting with them. I don't know if it's faster now.
 
We went in early June around 12:00 and waited for about 10 minutes in that first outer hallway, before waiting another 5 or so in the room where the princesses were located.
 
It was less than five minutes from when I scanned my MB at the entrance to when I stepped into their room. All in all, I was there maybe 10 minutes from door to door.
 
We met the sisters on May 6. We had to book staggered FP return times but had a common overlapping time. We scanned bans and were led right into the main meeting room. I was shocked it was so fast! We were totally star struck when we entered that room! I think there were maybe 3 groups in front of us. . Entire experience took 15 minutes maybe?
 
Waited about 5 minutes this morning at our 11:35 FP time. MK was crazy crowded too!
 
About 10 minutes in the pre-room and about 10 in the room. It depends on how many are in each group and haw many pictures they want - just the kids, just the adults, everybody. They do a great job making sure each family gets the shots they were wanting.
