Thanks Jason!
While I've long wanted an addition to the WS, a meet and greet just wasn't what I was looking for. :(

Agreed. My first thought was finally! Then, oh :(.
And then I thought at least the meet & greet might keep the congestion down inside Norway itself.

I got all excited and then discovered it was a Frozen meet and greet........in the world showcase. 
Given repeated evidence we pretty much need to face facts: Disney is no longer a visionary company wanting to give guests unique and exciting experiences. They are pandering to the lowest common denominator with cash grabs. They still do their guest service things well, but the days of imagination and innovative experiences are gone.

Does the expansion move or push out the margarita stand? I know it's right there between Norway & Mexico.

The hoards of Frozen fans are just making it too easy for Disney. Why should Disney spend millions of $$$ on designing a new groundbreaking attraction, when they can add a meet-n-greet much more cheaply and yet have it packed to the gills with guests anyway. We get what we ask for.
(yes, I know they are building a new "ride" in Norway; at least that's something.)

You know, I liked the movie, but good lord, I didn't like it THAT much! I guess long gone are the days when Disney takes the profits from a smash hit and invests them all back into the creative side of the company. Now its all stockholders and CEO's...
