I would be very surprised if this happened. Generally character meals are reserved for long standing characters. That is the attract of booking the meal for most people. Even in the case of Disney Junior shows, they are not quick to add popular characters to Hollywood & Vine. If you want proof of that just go by and see June (Little Einsteins) still there when that show has been nothing but reruns for years while Doc McStuffins is incredibly popular and has not been swapped in. It is rumored that Doc is coming to DHS in early 2014, but we know she was developed some time ago as she appeared at D23 this Fall.

Also, restaurants as popular as Akershus book up 6 months out, so adding them there would not bring in any more guests in the short term that are seeking to meet them (which can be done right across the walkway in the Stave Church) and may also lead to outrage from those who booked 6 months ago so their kids could meet the "classic" princesses.

Also mentioning that you can meet Anna and Elsa rigth across the way also would violate one of Disney rules that they try to keep, which is keeping the same characters seperated. They have become more lack on this over the last few years, but I still do not see them putting a character in a meal only mere feet from a meet and greet with the same character.

I agree they are way too lax with that...I figured it may be times when meet and greet was not running...thinking about it now...dumb question...withdrawn

Not a dumb question. I put nothing past Disney, but I just don't think it is probable given their track record. Even if Frozen is as popular as the early reviews and box office returns would suggests, Rapunzel and Merida are very, very popular (2 hour plus waits for their meet and greet previously), yet they are not in any character meals.

Also they have floated ideas of a PIXAR character meal and yet as popular as those movies and characters are, it still has not happened.
