Where in the World is Anna and Elsa?
This is the most popular question I receive in emails and messages across the on internet. Anna and Elsa are really popular right now and guests clamor to find them on their Disney World vacation. I though it might help to detail this.

Where do Anna and Elsa offer meet and greets?
Anna and Elsa only offer meet and greets in the Magic Kingdom. They are currently available pretty much all day including all Extra Magic Hours. You can find their schedules on my Magic Kingdom characters schedule or use my Character Locator app. The Frozen sisters meet and greet does offer Fastpass+, but those FP+ are often booked 60 days in advance by guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort. If you have difficulty locating fastpass for Anna and Elsa, try the tips I’ve included in my post on How to find difficult Fastpasses.
When they first moved to the Magic Kingdom, they met together in the same photo. They still meet in the same room, but now the photos are separated. Anna is on one side of the room and Elsa is on the other side. Lately the lines have been in the 1.5 to 2 hour range on most days.
TIP: For the shortest wait without using FP+ you might consider meeting them during a parade, fireworks show or right before they close for the day.
Where can I just see Anna and Elsa?
Festival of Fantasy Parade in Magic Kingdom
The daily parade is usually offered at 3:00pm daily, but times vary during holiday periods, so be sure to check on the date of your visit. Anna and Elsa are included on the beautifully designed princess float. However, the area of the float that they appear rotates and the other side shows Tiana and Naveen. Many guests have been disappointed that they couldn’t get a good view or photo of the sisters during this parade.
TIP: The parade travels from Frontierland to Main Street. Try viewing the parade at a point that the parade turns because it slows down in those areas. Good choices would include: Liberty Square near the Riverboat or Liberty Bell, The Castle Hub or Main Street Town Square.
For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-a-long Celebration
The Frozen Sing-a-long has been a big hit with guests, especially young children who love to sing the familiar songs. The majority of the experience is led by two “citizens of Arenndale” who are quite funny. Anna makes a brief appearance at the beginning and returns at the end with Elsa and Kristoff. If you love singing the familiar songs, this is a fun way to see your favorite characters. I wish the characters had led the entire sing a long, but they don’t.
TIP: You can now use Fastpass+ to guarantee your seat for this very popular show. The show lasts 20 minutes.
Songs included in the show are:
- Do you want to build a snowman?
- For the first time in forever
- Love is an open door
- Let it go
- In summer!
- Let it go (Reprise led by Elsa)
Here’s a video of the introduction to the show.

What are the waiting times these days for them and how does it compare to Disneyworld?

this post is about Disney World. Use Fastpass, go at rope drop or wait 1 to 2 hours
I am trying to learn the tricks of the trade to make our first trip extra special for our kids and I am seeing that a lot of the frozen sing along/frozen entertainment ended yesterday on the 7th in Hollywood studios. We are traveling the 21-25th to Disney and I am worried that my kids will not get to see these things. Any information at all on the list of entertainment that states end date if sept 7th??
Sing along did not end. Everything else frozen fun is gone. All schedules are on http://www.characterlocator.com
Figured as much it would make to much sense and shorten the lines and make the guest in a better mood spending maybe more $$$ oh well cannot believe everything you read these days!
Read elsewhere somebody stated that A@E meet in 2 separate rooms with 2 sets of A@E operating at the same time. Is that true ?
Same room, separate photos
Hi Kenny! I have a ADR for breakfast ast Be Our Guest. Are you allowed to line up for A&E if you are in the park early? And if your entire group doesn’t have ADR, can you hold a spot for the rest if they are entering right at opening?
They hold you near the restaurant and you cannot hold spots well at Princess Fairytale Hall due to the tight switchbacks.
A while back you had said that waits for Anna and Elsa with a fp+ reservations were still seeing waits of an hour. I am finalizing my personal touring plan through touringplans.com and they have a 33 min wait for an 8:45am reservation on a EMH day with a 4 crowd level. In my experience they are always right except when it comes to meet n greets. Does 33 mins sound right, or should I still plan on it taking an hour?
33 minutes when using FP? It should be more like 15 max. The people who waited an hour were during one of the many goofy tests. BTW no one is always right ;)
according to Disney Parks Blog, they are extending the Frozen Sing-A-Long until Sep. 28. Switching from every day to Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays Sep 5-28
Yes, that’s detailed in a couple of other posts.
[…] here if you want, but it’s a terrible view of the parade and the show. Follow the advice I gave in this post. Or you could stare at a tent, it’s up to […]
I wish they would have meet and greets with Kristoff…
Everyone would love that!
Oh, maybe they’ll meet with him during one of the parties!
Thanks for this Kenny, I really hope they do extend this as I arrive on the 8th, but I am prepared to miss this so I have been keeping with what is going on. Again thanks for all the coverage you have given this event!
