They need to bring A&E to a character meal

[FutureDis]

Many more people would be able to see them without having to stand in very long lines. Disney would sell out the dining for sure! (Not that they have a problem with that now... LOL)

 

[MakiraMarlena]

They do have a problem with that, they don't want the demand to be too high. Look what happened to CRT and Le Cellier. They don't like complaints from guests, and so many complaints that they couldn't get into these restaurants. So now you have princesses at all 3 meals at CRT and you have to prepay...and Le Cellier was made a signature. Demand is still there but it's not overwhelming.

I wouldn't look for them until Anna and Elsa have shown that they can sustain sufficient demand to sell seats even when everybody isn't clamoring to see them.

 

[ArwenMarie]

Oh I'm sure they will.

I don't understand why they don't convert the Akershus to the newer princesses and leave the classical ones at CRT only. They could have A&E hosting then Rapunzel, Merida, and Tiana inside. I would also move Belle with the Beast at BOG where she belongs!

This!
Exactly - this would be ideal!

My thoughts exactly!

 

[FutureDis]

My guess is the vast majority of girls would rather see A&E than the classic princesses. Hence the HUGE lines for A&E. How many do you think don't get their wish fulfilled because mom and dad didn't want to wait in that line. I'm willing to bet MANY!

 

[FutureDis]

At the very least, they need to add more meet & greet opportunities.

I've been "joking" for a while that Disney just needs to take over something like Pecos Bill, have Anna & Elsa wander around, take ADRs, charge $100/head, and call it a "character meal". I'm pretty sure they could leave the food and everything just the same and people would fill the place vs. waiting in a 4 hour line for a meet-and-greet.

You can bet I would! I'm so thankful I have a 7 year old boy who doesn't want to see them. I'm not sure I could stand in that line for 3-5 hours if I didn't get a FP for them.

Yes! Such a good idea! This would bring more people to both restaurants!

 

[isabellea]

I would personally book both CRT and Akershus on the same trip if they didn't have the same princesses. That would save me so much time waiting at M&G with my oldest who is a princess fanatic!

Don't assume he won't change his mind. My DS(almost6) is really big into Frozen and has declared that he NEEDS to meet A&E.

 

[GatorChris]

My favorite place to eat at WDW is certainly Akershus. I love the food. If they brought A&E there, it would certainly make sense, and my daughters would demand we go there. That said, it would make my favorite place even harder to get ressies for.

 

[disney meema]

They built a tangled bathroom so I would think eventually they'll have a frozen character meal : ) hoping they do (( Fun ))

They would make a killing with our family b/c we would probably have to do all three if they broke it up like this...

If they moved Bell to BOG, they would probably make both lunch and dinner a TS... or better yet add a breakfast and leave lunch as QS.

If they moved A&E to Akershus I bet it would be as bad as CRT and BOG in terms or getting a ADR.

This would be fantastic...hope they do it prior to my Oct trip. ADR for Akershus already made. My niece and nephews know A&E, Rapunzel and Merida (not sure about Tiana) better than the classic princesses. Would love to meet them while dining so we don't have to stand in line later.

This would be the perfect solution! I would definitely book Akershus with that line-up!

 

[ArwenMarie]

They need meals with Rapunzel, Tiana and Merida too good point.

 

[jeffbear]

One problem with putting them in Akershus might be the capacity. It's not the biggest of the Epcot TSes and it might all work better if there were more table tops. I dunno.

Either way, planting the two Frozen girls at a Character Meal makes perfect sense ... unlike waiting 4 hours in line to see them at an interaction.
