Who cares?:lookaroun
The only one I'm remotely interested in is the Cinderella one, but that might be more like a show.

That is my line of thinking because really the only way I am going to do these M&G's is if there is FP.

It's just a guess on my part, but rather than FP they'd probably implement some version of the "queueless" system they've been testing. That seems to be the direction they're going in.

Think for yourselfer
I really hope not. I would much rather they round up all the strollers and little girls into one area of the park and keep them there. Like a holding pen. If they have fastpass its like tagging them and releasing them back into the wild, I say keep them in captivity.

There will be at least two characters per M&G.
Even then, it's going to be a capacity and operations nightmare.
Say there are three rooms. Suppose they let...oh, let's say 30 guests in at once. Each show would have to last at least 15mins, I would think.
That leaves you with 360 guests per hour.
If the park is open 12 hours, you get 4320 per day through there!
Even with four rooms and 15mins, you are only getting 5760 per day through.
Compared to an attraction like Stitch, which also loads in groups, which can cycle around 1500 guests per hour (18000/day).
I think I just gave someone in MK ops a heart attack.:lol:

No idea. Never been to a TTF Meet and Greet, so I can't estimate how many go in and how long they stay.
Surely someone here has....

I can try and answer this. I went last year on my birthday to meet the Princesses. The wait, on average, was 45 minute-60 during the day. They take groups of 10 or so from the line into a pre-show room/hallway for 5-10 minutes, then into a room where the three princesses/fairies take pictures, which can take 5-15 minutes per group depending on how long each family takes.
That's a rough estimate of an average experience.
On the plus side, instead of waiting in line for ALL 3 or 4 Princesses when you really only want to see one specific one, this may cut down on people wasting time in line to see all of them at once.
For example, on my last visit, this adorable little girl of 3 years standing behind us booked it right under the rope to Cinderella, who was sitting there with noone while we waited for the first family to finish with Aurora first. It was the cutest thing I had seen at Disney, and the family apologized for the line cutting, but none of us minded. She obviously knew the ONE princesses she was looking forward to seeing.

Interesting points! It's true you have to line up to see all three even if you're only interested in one. And the next family really can't move in until the first family has moved on or down to the next princess at least. Also, like you mentioned, sometimes the other two princesses are just sitting there waiting for the family to move down to them. A lot of wasted M&G time if you ask me!?!
