FotL and Summer Lines

[Mrs. Bob Loblaw]

I've tried searching, as I'm sure this has been asked, but I can't seem to find an answer.

If we have FotL by staying on site, how long will the wait be for most lines? At Disneyland, even with fast pass, some rides have a long wait (20-30 minutes at Indiana Jones, for example). What's the norm and what's the worst I should expect?

Longest i have waited is about 10 mins approx, and this is for Shrek as its show so need to wait on the next one starting , most others maybe shorter, , but overall i would say 10 to 15 mins max for most rides.
DC i find to be slightly longer than most because of the way the queue is, when you go in the fp queue, you join the original queue before you pick your coaster you want ,and can be a bit of a wait, but not to bad

with FOTL pass it should be walk on for most rides, 10-15 min for shows if you missed the last door opening, 10-15 if everyone is wanting to ride the popular stuff (Hulk, Spidey, rip rockit)

Last June I waited the longest for Harry Potter stuff and shows. walked on for most other rides with FOTL

Express lines in the summer have a mind of their own. For most rides, don't be surprised for a 10-15 min wait, especially during the 12-5 crunch time. For more popular rides, a 15-20 min Express wait is not uncommon. Sometimes a wait of 30-45 mins for Express can happen, but that's usually reserved to rides such as Ripsaw Falls, Spider-Man, and ROTM if the park is extremely busy.

Also, Rip Ride Rockit does NOT have Express.

As the others have stated...the waits will be mimimal. Obviously the water rides will be longer in the summer but it still shouldn't be over about 20 minutes. Luckily the queues that aren't in the air conditioning have fans and misters to help deal with the summer heat and humidity.

Thanks everyone! Hubby hates coasters, so I'm not worried about catching any of those. He's not too fond of water rides, either, but they don't make him sick, so he'll be riding them with me. It evens out my sacrifice with the coasters.

I have no heat tolerance at all, so I'm kinda worried about my first summer trip. But hubby is a teacher and I will be in a couple years, so I gotta get used to summer vacations. At least there's a fotl option to help me out.

Also, remember if the Express line does get over 20 minutes, remember that the regular line is probably much longer than that, approaching 90 minutes or more.

Drinks lots of water/gatorade; wear sunscreen and apply it often; wear light, loose clothing, and a hat. Even with Express, walking around in the FL summer heat is beastly.
