What to do if this happens..... you don't have a multi pass for FROZEN OR REMY and no early entry? 😲. Well this was us at Epcot, our morning went something like this......
We are starting off our magical adventure at Epcot during the holiday magic, and we were not staying on property. We decided to buy a multi pass for this day. It was crowded but we still managed to see and have so many experiences! We were not able to get a lightning lane for Frozen or Remy that fit into our schedule so we thought- OH NO!!! Since we didn't have a multi pass for Frozen or Remy but still wanted to ride both of these rides we decided to rope drop one since the wait times would increase throughout the day.
We were entering through the main entrance- we looked at the wait times right before rope drop at 9am and we went with Frozen because the wait time was shorter. It took us approximately 15 minutes to get in line and we waited 50 minutes.
❄️PRO TIP- I downloaded the Play Disney app for the kids and we had fun playing the games on the app, stickers are a great kid distraction, hidden picture books, my kids also like to listen to books so we download one to our phones so they could listen while they waited, snacks are also a great distraction.
❄️PRO TIP- another pro tip- Disney has some great queue's that you wait through and the kids can be distracted by some of the fun things while waiting lines
Since we ropped dropped Frozen the next big hurdle of the day would be how to ride Remy without the line being 60-70 minutes or more. We decided to save Remy for the last ride we did that night.
❄️PRO TIP: Best time to ride Frozen or Remy if you don't have a multi pass would be early morning or late at night.
❄️PRO TIP: Keep checking the app- you never know if a last minute multi pass will appear OR if the line all of a sudden gets shorter. This happened to us- Remy broke down and we kept checking the app and when the ride came back we were able to get in line and only waited 40 minutes.
❄️PRO TIP- Meet and greet for Elsa and Anna are right next to the Frozen ride- the meet and greet opens at 9:15am and you can line start lining up before 9:15am( please check the app for greet times since they can change frequently). This is the only meet and greet for Elsa and Anna ( unless you are attending the Very Merry Christmas party- they will be at Magic Kingdom during the Christmas party ONLY)
❄️PRO TIP- In my opinion Epcot is one of the best places to meet characters and princesses!
We magaged the crowds as best we could- managed to ride Remy, Frozen and Guardians among other rides, meet a few characters and had the most Magical Time! We even scored a last minute dining reservation for lunch. We rode Frozen, Soarin, Nemo, Figment, and watched the Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival before we took a break for lunch. It was Magical!!
