How do you spend time waiting in line?

Ok. I'll go first. My family plays this game called guess the Disney Character. You ask questions like Is it from a movie? Is it male? You can only answer yes or no. We play this game every year at Disney and we somehow get people standing around us playing too. In April, we had a group of high school kids (10)playing with us and they had a blast. The line at soarin was 75 minutes and it help the time go by quickly. What do you do to pass the time?

We usually just stand and talk about what we are going to do next, or how excited we are to go on the ride we're waiting for. Yea nothing too fun.. but next trip i think ill try out that little guessing game idea!

In line we don't usually do anything special (my girls are older) but our last trip when we waited for Illuminations we played the alphabet game of Disney characters.

I put 2 tiny wedding bubbles in our fanny pack. These are the little plastic canisters that they pass out at weddings instead of rice. The kids start blowing bubbles. All the other kids waiting in line have a fantastic time trying to catch the bubbles. (Remember to remind the kids not to blow at people so other people without kids don't become annoyed.) As long as the bubbles are just floating out there, everyone is happy. It is a nice quiet activity and a great ice breaker. The kids start chatting with each other which is cute.

We had an extraordinary long wait for a bus back to the hotel last year after Wishes. I passed out the bubbles, and everyone had a blast waiting for the bus!

Use your digital camera or phone camera to take a close up photo of a tiny detail far away. Then have everyone try to guess what the thing is.

Or just take a picture outside and play I Spy off the camera as you move into the building.

We also have a Disney Trivia Game. We take a few cards with us and play Trivia while we wait.

Also....Don't underestimate the fun factor of chatting with others standing in line near you!

We always talk to each other about what we are doing the next day/how fun our vacation has been etc.
