Who will replace Anna & Elsa in MK?

Any word on what will happen at the princess meet & greet once Anna & Elsa move out?

I don't think there's anything official but I'm thinking they'll go back to some of the traditional princesses. Or maybe Merida will move in there if she's getting booted from her spot with the princess coming.

They should put the new princess in there and offer FP. But KTP did say they were discontinuing FP there.

They are discontinuing? Ugh!

Guess I better read up on this new princess. I thought she was going to HS for some reason.

As for PFTH, it's been my understanding Aurora and Snow White would be returning

Anna and Elsa are moving to Epcot, to be next to the new Frozen Ever After attraction.

 

[blemon]

I hope it's Snow White! Don't want to gamble on her being at EPCOT when we're there.

 

[HopperFan]

They are supposed to move Snow White and Aurora back in there ... where they belong.

I would be surprised if the new Princess gets specialty location since she is similar to Sophia and a TV character, not movie.

I knew A and E were being moved I just didn't know they were taking the fastpass away from fairytale hall.

Where did you see that? I hadn't seen that on his site.

Discontinuing fast passes for the princesses? Really? But Tinkerbelle, Mickey, and the Disney Circus Stars all have FP..would they take those away too? Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

It really doesn't. Especially when you consider they need all the FP offerings they can get these days. And getting the guests to stand in long lines never benefits Disney. Guests in line can't spend money

He did a post about cutbacks in the FP system a while back. I don't think it's linked on his front page any more because he has had so many other posts since then.

People have reported being unable to book any Fairytale Hall fastpasses past the cutoff.

I agree it's disappointing.

Some have surmised there might be a rotating princess in one of the spots, so maybe that makes it harder to offer FP? Or maybe they want to get by with fewer line attendants. Who the heck knows.

I haven't seen an announcement of their moving out. Where was that? I thought it possible - - short of an announcement, that they could be in both.

What's the cut off?
They had FP before A&E moved in and it was rotating Princesses then. It was Cinderella and friend. Rapunzel and friend (if memory serves me right)

Regardless, that was the report. I don't recall the cutoff.

I don't think there has been an official announcement. I just think people are taking the fact that they aren't issuing FP after a certain date as a sign they are preparing to move.

I think a lot of people hoped for them to stay in both locations. I just don't think that's likely in the cost cutting mode they've been in lately. And honestly, they might not have the staff for it.

Nor is there a reason to keep them in both places. Their waits are now equal to the waits for the other Princesses. Long gone are the multi hour lines for A&E. I expect the new location will see some uptick, as they are expected to be in new dresses. But I an betting they won't be 3, 4 hour waits. At least not till the sequel comes out. Then who knows
