Anna and Elsa’s Royal Welcome and Parade featuring Kristoff

We arrived at Hollywood Studios about 10:20am with the goal of watching the Anna and Elsa’s Royal Welcome and Parade which begins at 11:00am. We scouted a spot near the entrance. It was directly across from the gates from which the floats and characters appear. There was a rope, but you’re asked to stand along a brass line on the ground.

We chatted with Deb from allears.com, who is a wonderful lady and offered some sage advice. We stood under a nice cloud cover and a breeze, so it wasn’t as brutal as it usually would have been. After standing there quite a while, mommies began sticking their little kids at our feet without our permission. I tolerated the little girl in front of us and didn’t cause a scene.

An apparently British lady felt rather strongly that her lovelies deserved a last minute spot in front of another family and threatened to hurt the father. It wasn’t the bright, beautiful scene one would love for a Disney Park. Cooler heads prevailed and the parade began.
