Meeting Ana and Elsa at Epcot Question

[disneymom21]

We have a 9:20am dining reservation at Akershus. Could we squeeze in meeting Ana and Elsa right at 9am, and then make our reservation? What time does Epcot let people in?

This is our first trip to Disney, so I am not familiar. Thank you so much in advance!

Checking the MDE app, it appears they do start meeting at 9, so if you rope dropped it and were some of the first in, I think it's possible, for sure (they have quite a few meet-and-greet rooms, though not sure how many would be operating right at 9). And even if you were 5 or 10 min late to the reservation, they hold it for 15 min.

You will be fine, just follow @carriehpotter advice above. Get to Epcot at rope drop and you will make it.

Yeah I think you'd be fine demand does seem to have dropped until frozen 2 comes out lol

Make sure you are at Epcot well before rope drop. If you get there at 9, there will be a long line at the entrance and then it takes a while to walk from the entrance to Norway. I would plan on being on line at the entrance at 8:30 so you will be near the front of the line when they open at 9.

Also, check if it is an Extra Magic Hours day for resort guests. (You didn't mention if you are staying on-site or not.) If it is, those guests will already be in the park starting at 8 and there might already be a line for the M&G when you you get there at 9:10 or so.

You should be fine. The wait times for Anna and Elsa are normally the longest in the afternoon.

If you have the option to rope drop from the International Gateway instead of the front entrance, that is a shorter walk to Norway.

Thank you all!! All of this was helpful. We are staying at the Contemporary so we will be taking the monorail over there.
