If FP's didn't exist, what would you stand in line for?

[ariel326]

No matter what the wait time was?

 

[Jennasis]

Nothing. If we could only go when crowds were high and there were no FP, we wouldn't go. We won't wait for more than 45 minutes tops for anything.

 

[Laketravis]

Universal.

okay, fine. IF the wait was your maximum wait time that you allow, what rides would you be willing to wait for?

Come on, throw me a bone and just play my game.

We probably wouldn't go either. We used fp many times in one given day. We went in dec and had magic bands and tickets do we could still pull paper ones. I can not imagine what it would be like without using fp

 

[Mad Hattered]

Universal.

And the parks have Happy Hour!

Personally, we wouldn't stand in any line over 30-40 minutes.

OK...I didn't give one either. I will go with Splash Mountain. If I HAVE to wait in line for an attraction then I want it to last longer than 90 seconds. Splash comes in around 10 minutes so I will go with that one.

Hello, I was recommended to visit this site. I am visiting DisneyWorld Feb 11-17 of this year. Do you know how I can find someone who does the photo pass share? This is only my 2nd time going but heard this was possible to do.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Seems people don't remember that there was a time when there was no FP at all and we all survived it and waited in the lines. Maybe if they got rid of FP all together then all the people that won't wait will stay home and the lines will be shorter for the rest of us. Just a thought.

Toy Story: 30 minutes
RnRC: 25 minutes
Tower of Terror: 20 minutes
Test Track: 20 minutes
Soarin: 20 minutes
Space Mountain: 20 minutes
Expedition Everest: 20 minutes
Captain EO: Gimme back my 15 minutes

Well, I'll go the other way and say "everything" because I've never been to WDW before I'm not flying 3,000 miles to walk past all the rides.

Actually, you could ask "What would you not stand in line for more than 30 min to ride?" And I do have an answer for that. I wouldn't wait that long for Soarin or Star Tours since I've been on those a zillion times at DLR. Also I wouldn't wait more than 5 min for the new Little Mermaid ride because it is a walk on in DCA. I think it's very cute, but I'm not going to wait in a big line to ride it. Everything thing else- I want to see- Magic Bands or not.

Oops forgot Captain EO- don't need to see that again either.

I remember that time very well. Been visiting since I was in utero in 1976. We simply didn't go when lines were going to be that long, and if that was our only choice (thank God it wasn't) we wouldn't go. No need for your snarky thoughts.

To answer the OP, the only rides I would even wait 45 minutes for would be Splash/Space/BTM/Everest and Soarin'.

 

[TLSnell1981]

No FP is a deal breaker, but I'll play.. I'd stand in line for a Grand Marnier Slushie and/or a Dole Whip.

Edited to add:

DH just informed me, that my choices don't count.

Did they check your height?

 

[WILDERNESS FAN 55]

Everything just like I did before FP. Favorites before FP was around were Haunted Mansion and Space Mtn. Universal what ?

 

[Jennasis]

No need. Mom couldn't ride anyway!

Thanks for making me feel old, Jenn. I've been visiting since I was six in 1972.
I get my patience from my father, who thought that was the most stupid virtue ever. We learned LONG ago to avoid the crowded times of the year. Those seem to get rarer and rarer for some stupid reason.

See, I have only been once when there was FP's. All my other times going to WDW were pre-FP era. So, I guess, I'm not really married to FP like others are. There are many rides that I would ride on no matter what the wait was, because they were awesome and that was just the way it was. You waited in line just like everyone else.
But, with that said, I don't remember the lines ever being 2+ hours. An hour max. We went over spring break, and it was busy but not Christmas/New Years busy.

SO, I guess my game didn't quite go as well as I had hoped. Oh well, just killing time until I can board the plane on Friday.

Whoever responded with the Grand Mariner Slushie- I like your style by the way!

Nothing.

That being said, we ended up standing in line for 45-minutes for the Safari on 12/30. We had FP+ for the MK and AK had already transitioned to FP+ only so it was "stand-by" only for us at that park. It was a pain in the butt.
