Meeting Olaf

[katmigordon]

I know that with no kiddies we can't do Olaf's picnic, which I really kind of hate... I would happily pay for this experience to get to meet Anna, Elsa & Olaf... especially Olaf. Heck I would pay the price of the experience just to get to meet them without the food,. Doe anyone know if there will be another way to meet them? Especially Olaf? I love Olaf like a lot of folks around here love Mickey.

Some of you are going to make fun of me for this - feel free - on this particular subject I have no shame at all. Yes I am an adult, Yes I know that Olaf isn't "real" but my inner child doesn't seem to know that and my adult self can suspend disbelief long enough to have the experience.

The whole reason I sail Disney is to let my inner kiddo out to play, otherwise why sail Disney with kids? My adult self gets to play next october when we do the Celeb Eclipse out of San Diego.

If you are going to do any days in WDW before or after your cruise they used to have Olaf at Hollywood studios I can’t recall if he is back now after Covid.

I believe Olaf is going to be part of the show in the Arendelle restaurant, so maybe he’ll go around to tables and meet people.

Huh, that would be the cost of a park hopper on a 2 day to go meet him... worth if it if he'll be there. We're only doing 2 days. 1 Epcot and 1 Animal Kingdom. Epcot is our favorite and I miss it, Animal Kingdom we skipped last time at the last minute so we could go to New Orleans one more time before we moved across the country from Ky and while I don't regret going to NO I do regret blowing off Animal Kingdom. Magic Kingdom I figure we can always get the equivalent of over at Disneyland and we've always prefered Universal Studios to Hollywood Studios.

I wonder if while I'm in concierge I could ask for a little pixie dust and a quick chance to get a hug and a pic
before or after the show if they don't have him go to each table. I would be willing to pay extra.

I love him so much, that my mom bought me a stuffed toy of him as big as I am - it was the last Christmas present she got me before she passed... it's one of my treasured belongings. When we go out of San Diego I want to take him with me to get pics with Elsa and Anna if they are still doing meet and greets on the Wonder.

Did I mention that in some ways I am just a giant kid trapped in an adult body? Those in the know tell me it's part of my Asperger syndrome.

Before covid times, we had done the Frozen character meets on 3 different cruises. Olaf wasn't at any of them, but I had read others had him at theirs, so he could possibly show up once they start doing them again't. We cruised 2 weeks ago and you had to stand a few feet away from the characters. Whenever we ate at Tiana's Place on the Wonder we had to stay in our seats when Tiana and Louie came by our table for a quick hello and pic. This was also before covid. I don't think they would let you pay more to get a hug or pic, even if you're in concierge. Just imagine if they did that, and then others who saw you doing it would want to do it also. Last thing they want to do is having little kids crying because they are told no hugs or pics because their parents didn't pay for concierge. I've heard others have seen him at CC sometimes, so you may be able to catch him there if not on the ship. Best of luck!!

He’s there- we met him yesterday

Pre-Covid, we met Olaf on Castaway Cay a couple of times down near the bicycle rentals by Summertime Freeze.

Apparently we had a photo op with Olaf on the Dream during our NYE 2019-20 cruise. I just found the pictures...it was the same photo background as Anna and Elsa.
