HAHA, yes. That is my fav part of the Jungle Cruise. At least at DL, it is. Not sure if they do that at WDW, but I'm gonna find out!

To me, the problem is that they were initially too slow to add experiences in the parks and keep up with the merchandise demand. So I think part of the reason they are going overboard now is because their response was so poor at the beginning. Classic case of over-compensation.

I'm actually a little surprised they haven't considered moving the 3-5 hour Anna/Elsa M&G to DHS to drive up attendance there.

I do expect that the sing along will depart by the time Frozstrom opens.

Considering that folks are still clamoring loudly for this product, it seems kinda premature to say it is overdone. Not surprising that the sentiment is coming from a representative of the audience least likely to be in love with Anna, Elsa, and Olaf... the (middle age?) male.

Perhaps the folks waiting hours just for a meet and greet they might have a different opinion.... especially if you are a young girl who likes princesses. Striking while the iron is hot is generally a smart move... and so far the Frozen iron is staying pretty hot.

Speaking of Frozen... This is kinda funny parody making the rounds... Walter White meets Frozen:
