Fans of Anna and Elsa have had to endure waits of up to five hours to meet the ladies of Arendelle in their current location in the Norway pavilion in Epcot. So Disney's moving them to the Princess Fairytale Hall at the Magic Kingdom, where guests will be able to reserve meeting times with the two, using the resort's new Fastpass+ system.
That should alleviate the brutal wait-time problem with the two characters, though it will make an early reservation to get a Fastpass+ time a must for any families hoping to meet Anna and Elsa during their Walt Disney World visit. Disney's hotel guests can make Fastpass+ reservations up to 60 days in advance of the start of their visit, though it appears that Anna and Elsa meet times haven't shown up yet in the system. We'll have to wait and see if Disney sets aside visit opportunities for "day guests" on a standby basis, and what those standby wait times turn out to be.

I guess that is part of the "exclusivity" that makes Disney so special. But I feel sad for the thousands of kids who won't get to meet the character they loved from the movie because their parents can't afford to devote 5 hours of vacation time to standing in a line, or who were not smart enough to schedule a time to greet a character 2 months in advance.
And i guess this is what separates the Disney-lovers from the rest of us. Although in this case, isn't Disney all about doing everything it can for the guests? And wouldn't it be great for the guests if they didn't have to wait so long for something that is pretty inexpensive. A company that would build a $100 million dollar ride, it seems they could spend another $100,000 a year for two costumes and a couple of low-wage character actors.
