Two-Hour Waits to Meet 'Frozen' Princesses Prompt Disneyland to Create Reservation System

Disneyland is implementing a reservation system to meet Anna and Elsa, the newest princesses in the Disney stable who have generated two-hour waits, it was reported today.

According to the Orange County Register, patrons can now pick up a “virtual queue” ticket at no cost to meet the heroines from the smash movie “Frozen.” The queue ticket is similar to the Fastpasses issued for popular rides.

Since the “Frozen Room” opened last winter, it has become one of the most-popular attractions in the theme park’s history, the Register reported.

The tickets are handed out to people presenting their admission tickets or annual passes at a spot outside the room, starting when the park opens and ending when all of them have been handed out.

But seemingly like all things at Disneyland, there’s usually a line to get the “virtual queue” tickets, the Register reported. Patrons wait up to 45 minutes to pick up the pass, and when they return at the appointed time, they must then wait up to 20 minutes to have an audience with the princesses.
