We announced that starting on April 20, they’ll join some other Disney Royals at Princess Fairytale Hall, where Disney FastPass+ service will be available for this character greeting experience.

Comments

  • When you say that Elsa and Anna are moving “from” Epcot to Magic Kingdom does that mean that they will no longer be in Epcot? I got reservations for breakfast at the Norway pavillion in July so we could get in early and hopefully not have to wait in line so long.

  • Why not Princess Aurora in the Maleficent float or Princesses Garden?

  • Do not know where I can download Festival of Fantasy’s soundtrack?
