I am reading the ride is broken down a lot and am really hoping it is up for our trip next week or my daughter will be hugely disappointed. It was a last minute trip so I have not been able to get all the FP I have wanted ...but my question is earlier this week I saw FEA was available to select for FP but there were none available (makes sense this late in the game) but now I don't even see it as sold out ... It's just is not there at all?! What does that mean? Also does the Anna and Elsa meet and greet have a FP? Thanks!
The meet and greet is not a FastPass attraction, but waits have been reported to be reasonable.
FEA has been breaking down a lot. I don't know if what you're seeing indicates that it's just out of FPs or if they're temporarily shutting down the ride for a few days or week to really fix it- someone else might have more information on that.
At any rate, I wouldn't be too optimistic about seeing FEA next week without FastPasses. I wouldn't promise that to my child. It might work out, it might not. There have been multi-hour standby lines at some points and it's been down for repairs a lot.
Your best bets are to either arrive early for rope drop (such as no later than 8am for a 9am park opening), then briskly go straight to the Frozen ride after they open the park, or try to get a pre-park opening reservation for breakfast at Akershus (any reservation between 8 and 8:25), and arrive at the gates by 7:15 for it. They'll let character breakfast people in around 7:45, and if you're near the front of the character breakfast line, you'll likely be seated at Akershus around 8am, then can eat quickly and be out the door by 8:40am, to get in line for Frozen, which is close by. It will help to ask your server for the check right when you sit down, so you don't waste precious minutes waiting for that at the end of your meal. Also, you might not have time to meet all the princesses in Akershus this way.
There are some Frozen offerings in Hollywood Studios that won't have crazy lines, such as the Frozen singalong and photos with Olaf, so FEA is not the only Frozen offering at WDW.
