Frozen Ever After - Hit or Miss?

Earlier this week I got a chance to do the new Frozen Ever After attraction at Epcot. It was a total fluke, really. I was at Epcot with Mouse World Travel owner (and my friend) Michelle and we happened to be on the MyDisneyExperience app, updating a dining reservation for the next day. We were checking FP+ and then boom! I saw one so I grabbed it. About 15 minutes later, Michelle found another single time slot that was overlapping, so we could go together. SCORE!

The attraction is pretty new, within the last few months. Since it's both new AND features the juggernaut cash cow Frozen, it's been a huge draw at the parks. When I make FastPass+ selections for clients, often we have to grab whatever is available at 60 days out and sometimes I am not able to get them. To say they are in demand is a bit of an understatement.

(This is the same attraction, if you'll remember, that had 4 and 5 hour waits earlier this summer. No ma'am - no thank you. Not waiting in a line like that for ANY attraction.)

They re-purposed the Maelstrom attraction/ride at the Norway pavilion at Epcot and so it was the same ride track as Maelstrom, but of course themed for Frozen. 

I was very happy we were able to do it - because it was in such demand, and I hadn't done it yet - but I thought, it'll probably be a "meh" or just OK and I won't think too much of it. 

You guys - I LOVED IT. Freaking loved it. It was incredible.

The characters and scenes were gorgeous. The music was perfect. The little touches from Disney that we've come to know and love were in abundance.

I didn't get very good pictures but I'll share the ones I do have. It was just perfection, and after experiencing it I can see why people are loving it, beyond that it features the Frozen characters.

Michelle took a video and we're getting those worked up to put on our Mouse World Travel YouTube page; I'll be sure to link it when we have it ready.

Don't wait in a 4 hour line to ride this - because that is just insanity - but if the line is not too bad and/or you can get a FP+, please add it to your list. You will not be sorry!
