Joy and Sadness-wait times?

[AJ1983]

Hey everyone my parents are at Epcot today with my noece, just wondering how long the line for the Inside Out characters is generally? Better off waiting till close to park closing? Thanks!

Usually it's around 30-60 min

And yea it's better to either go early in the morning or late at night

We never tried late at night, but during the day, it's roughly 45 minutes to an hour. It was the longest line we waited in during our entire trip.

We waited 20 minutes at supper time on Monday the 3rd

I would think as late as possible would be best. We went to them at rope drop and were first in line. Had to wait the 10 minutes from the time they allowed entry into Epcot and 9am when they actually come out.

We waited about an hour on Sunday October 9. This was roughly around 5pm. The line was super slow moving, but I will say the interaction was very good once it was our turn.

We were there in September and waiting 45-60min. We had two 20 something guys in front of us each one took a separate picture with each character, then each one took a picture with both, then both of them took a separate picture with each, then finally they took a few group pictures. I was like. It took a long time for them to get their pictures. So I really think it depends on how many people are in line and how long they take with the characters.

I think it varies. We got in line about 9:45 and we only waited about 15-20 minutes on Labor Day.

Is Epcot the only place you can meet joy and sadness?

 

[WRLeGrand]

How long for those of you going right at RD? My wife has it worked out to head straight there on our Epcot day!

Thanks

I posted above, but the tapstiles typically open 10-15 minutes early at Epcot. Most rides open right at that time, but the characters don't come out until 9am. So for us, we got through the tapstiles at 8:45-8:50. Walked over to Joy and Sadness. We were the first people in the building and the first people in line. We waited about 10 minutes for them to come out right at 9am. It is a great interaction. I think at rope drop you are fine because most people are going to the Frozen ride. Right at 9am there were only a handful of families behind us. When we were done with them we walked right over to Baymax, and then right to Soarin' which was still basically a walk on (this was early Sept with low crowds).

we went at the same time on two different days in June at 9:15am. The first item it was 25 minutes and the second time 65 minutes. The line moves slowly.

Why not add FP+ to this M&G? Demand seems to be there. We would definitely book it as one of our Tier 2 picks.
