live wait times

[mom25kiddos]

Hi there,
I have been viewing a few live wait time sites to get a sense for crowds. I know it will be different the week we go, but still it is interesting. I notice though that certain attractions (Anna and Elsa meeting and greet in particular) are not listed. Any guesses why, or ways to find that information?

Anna and Elsa. I can go out on a limb and guess very long. as every report I have read about it is saying the waits are crazy for them. Not sure why some things are not on the app at all.

Character M&Gs generally don't offer wait times.

the princesses are listed on the Lines app (you have access after paying $12 to the touringplans site)

Disney posted wait times are rarely accurate. Sometimes they're just an estimate, and sometimes they are intentionally wrong.

Any service that has people actually in the parks and tracking wait times in real time will be somewhat more accurate, though only as accurate as the last person they had go through the line. Systems like TouringPlans have people crowdsource wait times, so they can be a bit better, as long as the people submitting times aren't just inputting garbage.

For Anna and Elsa, the wait will likely be high and remain high throughout the day. If it's a priority to see them, your best bet is just to do it first thing and not gamble missing them on a wait time that may or may not be correct. Or FastPass it if at all possible. You may have SOME luck hitting a FP+ kiosk first thing, since some FP inventory is held for in-park selection.

I think you can get the wait time list even if you don't pay the subscriber fee. Note that for most attractions the reported wiat times are running much less than Disney's posted wait times for whatever reason ... likely crowd and traffic control.

You can get the app but you cannot see wait times without a subscription.

I think the TouringPlans team would tell you their wait times are more accurate than Disney's because Disney has an agenda, ie crowd control.

There are a lot of ways to get a discount. If you have a UG there's a discount for that. Or go listen to WDW Today for a 21% discount.
