Rapunzel line

[arichau]

Now that Rapunzel has a short show and does a post-show M & G at the new Fantasy Faire has this shortened the wait time for the regular Rapunzel M & G at all? That line was so, so, so slow 2 years ago - much worse IMO than the old Princess fantasy Faire line and Pixie Hollow or Merida.

Of course part of my bad feelings about this line came from my DD begging me to stand in it our last day there. After an hour (maybe more) they finally lead us into what seemed like a tiny, tiny room and she sees Rapunzel and Flynn Rider who are so very, very large to her. She totally freaked out and we had to ask Flynn to stand to the side He just scared her for some reason even though she loved him in the film. She then had a fine time chatting with Rapunzel. That same trip we saw Mulan at Princess Fantasy Faire in an elaborate outfit - very large headdress and I think face paint - I've never seen her like that again in the parks - and she again was overwhelmed (didn't know who she was - we hadn't seen Mulan yet and even if she had it was still quite a remarkable costume up close) and she basically ran past her and into Belle's arms who was right beside her. Now of course she'd love to have photos with both of them!

I didn't stand in the Rapunzel line last year but every time I looked at the wait time it was an hour or more. Obviously it varies but I'm curious if regular princess meet and greeters have noticed a change in the wait time. My niece is joining us for this trip and really loves Rapunzel and I'm wondering if there is any big difference between meeting her at her stand alone M & G or meeting her after the show. I think Flynn Rider sometimes shows up at the stand alone one? Any other thoughts?

Flynn Rider is almost guaranteed with the meet and greet after the morning shows. I would also suspect that the wait isn't an hour long like it used to be back in Rapunzel's old location. When we were there for the opening, the M&G was only limited to people who saw the show in the Royal Theater. There were CMs at both entrances into the theater to prevent others from getting into the line. However, DBF and I were toward the front end of the line, so I don't exactly know how long it was. I think the show takes about 20 min, and there is 1.25 hours between the start of each show, so the last people in line should be waiting an absolute max of 1 hour. It's probably shorter because I would assume they need to go backstage to prep for the next show. Hope this helps!
