We love this and don't miss it.

Good to know it's getting more crowded. We've never had to wait for a class, even when getting there 5 minutes prior to the next one starting. Of course we don't go during busy times, either.

We did JUST make the cut-off once over President's weekend in Feb. and I thought it was weird that it was so crowded lol!

This is one of my favorite things to do in all of WDW.

It is now my new fave thing to do! did it twice (there last week); we only had to wait for a new class to begin (walked right into roped area) in middle of day. Very nice break from the heat of June in Florida. Bonus-Wreck it Ralph, Vanellope, Mr Incredible and Freeze all had character M&G there as well (dragged my 16 DD with me to see Wreck-it Ralph). We had one instructor ask to try to draw new character (ended up with Mickey, and one who had us draw along with her and guess what character we were drawing (chip!)

We did this class for the first time last week. We enjoyed it so much that we did it again on another day. The first time we went, we only had to wait 10 min. The second time we went, the line remained a long wait every time we went by. We ended up waiting 35 min. on our second time. After our class, I noticed that the line was pretty short for the next group. My girls, 11 & 7, and I really enjoyed it. The cast member at the front of the line keeps a record of which character has been drawn already that day. They try not to repeat the same character in the same day. There were a variety of characters drawn, from classic characters such as Mickey to princesses. We noticed it was mainly classic characters. She shared with me that some of the artists have been doing Olaf from time to time as well. I'm so glad we went. It was a nice break from the heat and a really fun activity.
