I've been waiting for this thread!

I wonder how quickly they can get this up and running. Clearly, there is a demand for Anna and Elsa. This would seem to put to rest the rumors of A&E joining Akershus, though. Can't have them there and in this M&G.

How close does the new building come to Mexico?

You can see here. There is a pretty good gap between Mexico and the new building.

I don't know if that's exactly true. Cinderella is inside at CRT and in Princess Fairytale Hall right next door.

This is exciting news. Hopefully the first of more WS refurbs.

looks like they are keeping as much green between, that way they can keep the 'lush' jungle appearance around the Ziggaraut, and of course hiding the showbuilding

Maybe they'll kick the princesses to the curb from the restaurant to complete the re imagining.

That's a lot of space behind the building for loading/unloading and parking. I thought part of the new building was going to be new queue space for not-Maelstrom?

no the buildings are COMPLETELY SEPARATE. the only place they touch is a backstage alleyway gate. this is a building for ONLY the meet and greet

Will the meet and greet space have other characters besides Anna & Elsa (Kristoff, Olaf, other Princesses etc.)?

And potties.

Meet and greets aren't the greatest thing on earth. but seeing what they have done with storytime with Belle (Lumierre and The Wardrobe), id love for there to be a way to meet an interactive AA like Olaf, or even Sven with Kristoff

I'm sure it will start as the Frozen M&G but over time I bet we end up with another princess hall.

I'm a bit confused. Can someone please clarify what the new building is for? I thought that they were simply using the existing building and track for the new frozen ride. Sorry if I missed it in the Frozen thread.

The new building is for a meet and greet, assuming for All things Frozen, they are using the existing building for Maelstrom for the new ride.

Thanks for the info. So I assume it will be filled to the brim with Frozen Merch and the occasional Meet and Greet?

Not sure full plan has been released, I can't remember if art has been shown, all we know to date is there will be a new building to house the meet and greet for Anna and Elsa, and that Maelstrom is being refurbed to a Frozen ride.

I would not be shocked though to see some kind of merch area for Frozen in the M&G though.

Oh, almost forgot, new bathrooms too, especially for the ladies!

 

[wdwmagic]

Just a reminder of my first post. This thread is specifically for construction info. Please see the other Frozen thread to discuss the broader project and what it entails. Thanks.

I'm guessing that the new building will be designed to architecturally be part of the Norway pavilion, but can anyone confirm this? We haven't seen concept art yet, have we? I suppose the look could be more Arendelle and less Norway, but I would hope that's not the case.
