Royal Hall wait times

[MischaOz]

Hello! Can anyone give me a general idea of the wait times at Royal Hall? For reference, I will be there on Mon Feb 22. Also is it always the same princesses? What can I expect? Thanks!!

The princesses do change a bit, and the ones I have seen rotate through are Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Snow White, Jasmine, and Ariel. Merida and Rapunzel were alternating outside the Royal Hall area, and Anna and Elsa are on their own in the Animation Building in DCA. Princess Tiana is usually around New Orleans Square or around the River. I have also seen Princesses and Mulan meeting right inside the turnstiles and near Snow White's wishing well, and in a hidden spot behind Dumbo, too! Jasmine also meets with Aladdin and Genie in Adventureland. There is also the Princess breakfast/lunch at Ariels Grotto in DCA where several princesses entertain at a character meal. There will be lots of opportunities to meet princesses, the trick is to catch them before a CM is standing at the end of the line, turning away more admirers!

That's why the Royal Hall is awesome, with a bit of privacy for your pictures, autographs, and interactions. The Anna and Elsa meet and greet is almost as good, but they tend to usher in a few groups at a time. At Royal Hall, we never felt rushed!

Luckily, most of the line for the Royal Hall is visable, so you know about how many excited parties are in front of you. We waited about 15 minutes, and the line was only one segment long, without doubling back. My friend went at park opening and waited a lot longer, so I think waiting and watching the line may be a better strategy. Also, maybe right after the theatre showing the Frozen show starts seating, so the interested crowds in the immediate area are absorbed there instead of your intended line!

Have fun!

We were just there on Monday around 10 AM with the crowd levels at "10" and didn't wait more than 20 mins. We saw Snow White, Cinderella and Belle. The princesses were all great with my 2 girls (4 and 1). Great interactions.

Rapunzel and Merida meet just outside Royal Hall alternating. We met Merida. She was great as well although we would have preferred to meet Rapunzel.

The line is a bit sporadic because it sometimes does get very long especially after the Frozen show right across the way ends. As long as you avoid those times, you shouldn't be waiting very long. The cast member will usually tell you one princess that is inside and then say two more surprise princesses are inside, which they wont always tell you because they alternate throughout the day.

I've never waited longer than 15 minutes.
