I know that they're in the Norway pavilion right now, but I read somewhere that they are leaving January 4th 
I hope they aren't, I'm still under Black Out dates...

Frozen has been a huge success so I doubt they will be going anywhere any time soon. Source on their removal?I know that they're in the Norway pavilion right now, but I read somewhere that they are leaving January 4th

I've heard they're moving to another, more permanent, location.

Jan 4 was the original end date given for the Norway M&G, doubt they will be keeping to that with 4 hour lines.

It was a 3-hour wait on Christmas Eve so hopefully they won't be gone very long because people obviously want to meet them!
Where in the article does it mention their being removed?

It's unlikely that they'd be pulled given the success, but anything could happen. It'll probably remain for months- if it ever leaves.

Michelle – At this time, they are only expected to appear in Norway at Epcot through January 4, 2014.
In the comments then....

I'm guessing that date was just a placeholder in case the movie bombed or the M&G was unpopular for some reason. It could also be the time that the movie studio marketing money runs out and P&R has to decide whether or not they want to fund it with their own money going forward. The Iron Man experience at DL was announced to be around only until early October (I believe)... coincidentally, right after the DVD was released. It's still up and running as far as I know with no announced closure date. The movie marketing budget pays for construction, cast training, etc. and the parks just have to pay maintenance and labor going forward, so it seems like a good deal, I bet.

From the photo's I've seen there is a real bottle neck of double queues in the front of Norway entrance with only a narrow pass through now to enter the pavilion. At first blush and again from only looking a few photo's it looks like a fire hazard to exit the pavilion with the two different queues road blocking everything.
I'd hope they'd move the princesses to a less congested venue even though it is kinda fitting. Heck they could open the Millenium Pavilion for them, it is vast and could be quite grandly decorated given the draw, room enough for a huge gift shop. When interest wanes just shut it down again.

If this is a situation they will probably be moved to Main Street Theater since they have a better queue area as many of the Princesses have migrated to Princess Fantasy Faire.

Or, there's two of them- stick one in Princess Fairytale Hall on Rapunzel's side, the other on Cinderella's side.

Part of their appeal is meeting them together. They're not gonna be separated.

Do characters still meet at Animation Building in HS? If so, I would think they could move them there.

They really should be at Magic Kingdom, either at Fairytale Hall or the Fairytale Garden and have Merida move into the hall. I miss seeing Snow White in Town Square.

I am very excited about this. Will they still be greating guests next year in Norway as well, or is this just temporary?

Any plans for them after they leave WDW in January? Will they be going to Magic Kingdom next? It’d be shame if they where only out for such a short time.
Shawn Slater on October 8th, 2013 at 9:02 am
Gabby – There are no plans as of right now, but the team is constantly exploring new entertainment experiences for our Guests.
I'm guessing if the do move them it'll be to some where better suited to handle M&Gs, I thought the started off in the Hollywood Studios for like a week before the moved to Norway/EPCOT

Yeah Norway has been a mess, between the meetngreet lines, the akershus lines, and maelstroms, they have created nothing but havoc. Until they build that new princess pavilion between mexico and norway I would expect them to stay put awhile longer, but then it is a mess so maybe they have found it just cant run this way in that tight space with that amount of people, kinda duh to begin with on Disneys part. Agree that they have plenty of unused spaces that could be retrofitted for them, I know that it was a Norway thing being the movie was but cant chuff everything inside everything. Do something with Millenium for paying guests, and or odyssy already. Include the character dining while your at it Disney and make Norway Norway again.
