Is it worth it to hit Anna & Elsa M&G at RD?

[Ratpack]

We are heading down next week for Spring Break and were not able to get Anna & Elsa FP+, so do you think if we are there at opening we could get in to see them fairly quick and then make it to some of the more popular rides before it gets too crowded? We are staying offsite for the first time due to traveling companions, so we will not be able to get in until 8am and the resorts will have been able to get in an hour earlier. We are also only there for that one day in MK, so we have to maximize our time as much as possible.

If you are near front of RD, yes. If you are further back, not much chance. Be outside MK as early as possible.

EDIT: sorry, missed part on EMH. I'd avoid A&E if you can.

Since you're going on an EMH day without EMH privileges, I don't like your chances for anything resembling a short wait. Your next best option is to wait until the final 30-60 minutes before park close.

If you aren't going to be there for EMH rope drop the I think you will find that the stand by wait time will be quite high, 2-3 hours or more. It is still a very popular thing at the MK and with the EMH and the FP+ all being gone, prepare for a long wait. Sorry. Have a great trip even if you can't do the A&E M&G.
You can "see" them in the Festival of Fantasy Parade in the afternoon.

From reading this board, I think a LOT of people would like to hit them! Oh...wait...that's not what you meant!

Last summer, we visited A&E just before 11:30 pm. The posted wait time was 90 minutes but the actual wait was less than 10.

We still had time to ride 7D twice before the park closed at midnight.

If you get there as soon as possible for EMH in the AM and head right to the M&G, how long would the line be by then?

We did that last Nov and we were in line for only about 20 minutes!... we were in Front at RD.. still the cm 'walk' you to the M&G

We met them at the end of february -- we had a pre-park breakfast and were first in line! When we got out (all of five minutes later), the queue was full and it was already a 90minute wait!
