Hello All,

Ok so the only time frame I could get for Anna and Elsa Meet and Greet during our early February trip was 5:40-6:40 ( which is crazy to me since I thought we were going on the off season and I was up an midnight to do them).

So my question is would we have shorter lines and better luck if we headed straight there first thing in the morning or should we wait and use the fast pass at that time?

Thanks in advance :mickey:

I personally would use the fast pass. I'm told even first thing in the morning it's a 60 minute wait. We were in and out in 20 minutes in early June...granted we thought it was quite rushed and although we had ten FP+, they REFUSED to let the girls each get their picture alone and then together. There were two girls and two boys...we were not Impressed and later thought that we should've each insisted on a picture since we each had a fast pass for the six adults! It would've only been six pictures instead of two, very rushed pictures. The characters were not engaging the children either. Sign book, turn them around, take picture and pushed away. Very unlike disney.

I would use the FP+. The line gets busy quickly, even first thing, and you'll be able to get so much done in the time you would spend waiting to meet them.

We had the opposite experience of the OP, Anna & Elsa were super! Maybe they are trying to get as many people as possible through first thing, so it was more rushed.

Unless your FP+ time is messing something else up, I think it is by far the best way to meet them without the long wait.

Our FP+ was around 11:30. Maybe they were ready for a lunch break :confused:

Unfortunately, as we just booked our trip for end of January, I cannot find any open FP times for Anna and Elsa.

I suppose the recommendation then is to hit them first thing in the morning?

I'm assuming the lines are not like they were back when they were at Norway in EPCOT. Kind of hoping January might be a little lighter crowd wise, but that might be wishful thinking.

The lines were 150-210 minutes in October, so they aren't much better than when they were in Norway.

One thing I think is stupid is how they split Anna and Elsa into separate photos. That can't save any time, and just doesn't make sense! I never would've waited in the line in Norway, so when FP+ started in MK, I was so excited. Don't know if I'll waste the FP on our next trip.
