Best FP Kiosks at Each Park

[jomass]

I am wondering if there are kiosks at each park that tend to be off the beaten path and draw less attention. The whole notion of standing in line to avoid standing in line is like the standard definition of insanity ( repeating the same behavior over and over but expecting different results), and one I'd like to avoid. Anyway, I am hoping there are some wile veterans here who might be able to help with this one.

From what I keep reading they keep closing less used ones temp. Which is a really stupid idea.
so bumpy bumpy to this thread

"My favorite was Frontierland. It was always much less crowded than others. Most crowded was outside Stitch, but that one also had the most CMs moving things along"

your best bet is to read up on locations right before you go - make notes so you know where they are (I used Josh's site easywdw and Kenny the Pirate). If it is still there (we haven't been since January) the Jungle Cruise location in MK was always good for us. Philharmagic always looks crowded but in our experience moved along.

We never could find those kiosks when we were in Animal Kingdom but then we didn't look to hard because the regular lines were pretty short that day anyway. At Hollywood Studios the kiosks by Toy Story would always be covered up so we would go use the ones by Tower of Terror. The lines were never really too bad, I don't think it ever took us more than 30 minutes and we were still able to get fastpasses for things like Star Tours and The Great Movie Ride. I could ride that one all day. Not so much Star Tours.

I have no idea where they are in Epcot, never saw them, but in Magic Kingdom we found some by accident near the bathrooms. So we were able to kill two birds with one stone so to speak and those lines usually weren't very long either, maybe 20 minutes but sometimes we'd get thru them faster because people would get in the line thinking it was a line for the restrooms and then realize it wasn't so we'd move up several places.

Great question OP. I've been wondering the same thing since we leave for our trip in just a few weeks, and it seems that the kiosk locations sometimes change.

Wow- 30 mins in the kiosk line!
How long were the standby waits at ST and GMR?

I'm not really sure since we had fastpasses and got right on.
