Frozen!

Yup,yup. Makes sense.

Well, it looks there is some good news for Anna and Elsa meet and greets at Disney World. They'll be meeting from open to 30 minutes before closing. It's one step forward and I hope that will put park visitors and people who are tired of the Frozen hoopla at ease just a little bit. There better not 300 minute wait times ever again. If not...I don't know what to think.

But still it makes me wonder.... what took them so long?!

Oh, thank goodness! I really hope that the line to meet them isn't still hours long when we go in October.

"This will extend the meet by 6.5 hours during the busy summer months..." I wonder if they will only have the extended hours for the summer months?

Fingers crossed for extended times into the fall!

It's still a posted 300 minute wait at park opening for the two sisters and the fastpasses are still hard to come by.

On the other hand the wait to buy The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen is zero minutes. Then you can read it (a few times) during your five hour wait to spend 60 seconds with a couple of college kids in costumes.

So.... is the appropriate response to all this to just "Let It Go"?

For a story about Japan relationships, that's actually pretty mundane. Did you hear about the guy who married his Nintendo DS?

Looks like wait times were unchanged since the last update so now, Anna and Elsa are meeting and greeting guests individually with Aurora and Snow White being "evicted" so to speak. My guess is the interactions with Anna and Elsa together were taking too long, hence the decision being made to keep them in the same room but individual interactions and photos. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Elsa gets relegated to special events like the Halloween and Christmas Party because you look at what happened with Rapunzel and Flynn Rider a few years back. Their meet and greets were almost as ridiculously long and Flynn Rider, despite being popular, ended up getting the cold smolder so to speak. I know in terms of merchandise, Elsa related merchandise is the top seller in the Princess merchandise but technically, Elsa is a queen. I don't think whoever is running the character and entertainment department would ever consider giving Elsa the cold shoulder so to speak but if it happened once, it can always happen again.

Sooo....once you have made it through the line do you get to meet Anna, and then Elsa? Or do you have to pick which sister you want to meet and get into line for that????

They are still in the same room but on opposite sides of the room. You meet Anna first then you meet Elsa. Now Aurora is meeting at the tour garden between City Hall and Chamber of Commerce. Snow White is greeting towards the back of Center Street. I am really upset with how Snow White keeps getting the short end of the stick. She was the first to be kicked out of Princess Fairytale Hall, now she gets kicked out Town Square to meet in an alley way that no one knows about.

On the flip side, Snow White and Aurora still have their regular meet and greet spots in Epcot and for character dining, they're both at Akershus and Cinderella's Royal Table.

Anyway, two interesting Frozen related articles:

Apparently Elsa and Anna are becoming trending baby names:

And we've got an Elsa lookalike gone viral:

I finally watched Frozen for the first time yesterday.
I thought it was amazing. I would go as far as to say that I think it is now my favourite Disney movie.
Wonderful characters, beautiful animation and a more interesting story and relationships between characters than some of the animated films.

I am hoping to see all the special Frozen exhibits in Hollywood studios when we head to the world in a couple of weeks. I would love to go ice skating, but is that a bit stupid in case I fall and twist something? (I have been ice skating before, I am ok at it)

I wish they would build a Frozen resort. Imagine staying in a beautiful ice palace!

I thought that this Frozen parody was downright hilarious. Sums up the feelings of all of the people tired of the Frozen hype.

That is sooooooo funny. I love it.

Im not going to post it here because I don't want to offend anyone......... BUT!

Anyone see "The Ashmore You Know?" about Frozen? Shawn Ashmore for those who don't know plays Iceman in the X-Men movies, and he did a couple "The Ashmore You Know? on The Will Wheaton Project on SyFi. You can find it on YouTube... but I thought it was hilarious. Im a Frozen fan... so not bashing it... but what Ashmore says... well... I was rolling... Lol

One of the funnier bits I've seen towards Frozen.
