    Default Anna and Elsa tips

    We're headed to the MK the first week of June. There are no FP+ available for A&E the day we'll be there. I saw today that the wait ranged between 180-210 mins. As it'll be our only day there, I'd rather not spend 3 hours of it in line. We have 8:30 ADRs at Crystal Palace, so we won't be able to go straight there at park opening. Any ideas for the best time of the day to get in line? The 3:00 parade is out, cause it's a must see, being that it's new. Or should I try to change ADRs to somewhere earlier?

    I went ahead and changed our ADRs to 'Ohana, because I could get them at 7:50. I'm hoping we can eat and get in the park shortly after the 9am opening and head straight to the A&E line. At least the park is open late that night...

    Good luck! It's incredible how long the lines are. Suspect they will still be long when we go in December.

    Even if you get there, say, 30 minutes after opening, it's a good chance the line will already be at least a couple hours long., if not more.

    I would bet on being at the entrance at least 30-60 minutes before rope drop, head straight to Fairytale Princess Hall once the park opens, get in line, and do breakfast AFTERWARD.

    Keep trying for a Fastpass. I just got one for early June yesterday for a client on a date during their trip that had previously shown as booked up.

    At the same time I got one for next week for a different client, so they are out there to be had if you just keep checking.

    We have FPs for lunch at 12:25 at BoG, so I don't really want to do breakfast afterwards. Plus, a character breakfast and the day at the MK is tradition for our kids first birthday, and I don't want to mess that up with kid #3 (I mean, we are planning an entire trip to FL around this one day, having just been to WDW in Dec). However, I have been playing around with MDE, just to see what I could do, and I found a 7:30 ADR at 'Ohana, which will buy us another half hour to eat and get to the gates before park opening. I'm really hoping we can send DH as a runner for the rest of us, since 3 kids and a scooter aren't going to be very fast to get in line. Planning to keep looking for earlier ADRs as the trip approaches. DS is up with the sun, and we're tent camping, so 7:30 won't be hard to make.

    Been checking multiple times a day. Keep hoping some will show up. If I can find just one, can I copy that one to our whole party, or do I have to find space for 5 FPs?
