List of attractions with little wait during busy times?

[emilymad]

Is there a list somewhere of attractions that have no or little wait during peak times?

Thanks!

No all the lineups are pretty long unfortunately. I just came back and I found that even buzz lightyear had a 25 minute wait

If you walk down mainstreet, just passed Coke Corner there will be a board with a list of rides and wait times attached to it.

My suggestion to you is to take advantage of your fast passes. I love to get water ride FP first thing in the morning so at peak times when its so hot, I can just walk right onto the water rides and still have time to dry out.

Also if you are there during the fireworks or parades, thats another decent time to go onto rides with somewhat minimal waits (Definately not as long as if shows werent in play)

25 for buzz sounds good to me.

During busy afternoons we like to explore non-ride attractions. Our favorites in DL: Tiki room (with a dole whip), Innoventions, TSI (yeah, line to get there, but lots of exploring), Columbia or Mark Twain ships. In DCA: Animation building - Crush and Sorcerer's workshop, Redwood Trail, Muppet 3D, factory tours. Our kids are 4 and 8 so loooong lines aren't so good in the afternoons. We need time to explore or cool off while watching a show. We've been known to see the Aladdin show just for the air conditioning.

Ditto to DisQueen.

Sometimes in the evening Snow White, Pinnochio, and the carousel have very little if no wait.

Ditto to DisQueen.

Yep I agree whole heartedly when it comes to doing none ride attractions. I do all those things too even head back to the hotel for a swim to cool off and go back in the evenings when the crowd level isnt too bad. Its quite nice actually as its very relaxing.

Thank you so much! Exactly the type of information I was looking for!

I agree exactly with DisQueen, Tracer & Mystic Path & would add the following thought during "peak" times.

- Walk right past IASW & into Toon Town.
- Pick up a FP for Roger Rabbit. Enjoy (walk around) Toon Town
- If you're still waiting on RR FP, stroll back to IASW & ride (take the right rope line). It's cool (A/C) & a nice break during the mid-day.
- Exit IASW & if ready...ride RR.

We did this at 11:30 ish & also at 4:30 ish when it was crowded in Frontierland/Adventureland/Tommorowland.

AND EMILY....HAVE YOU FACTORED SINGLE RIDER LINES INTO YOUR PLANS..you might avoid some waits that way.

I have definitely factored in the single rider lines. I was trying to determine what I wouldn't mind seeing but don't care if I miss. I figured if some of these didn't have crazy lines during the day I could save them for waiting for FP, etc.

Thanks so much!

A couple of things to keep in mind. Snow White and Pinnochio are usually short lines. IASW can be short most of the time, this line moves really fast too so don't be afraid to wait if it "appears" long. The line at POTC moves a lot faster than it looks. The length can be deceiving. HM also moves fairly fast. I have walked on the Pooh ride nearly every time I have been there. Innoventions is a great way to beat the heat. They have some cool stuff inside for the kids - I usually just find myself a cool place upstairs to plant myself and wait for the kids to have fun. Indiana Jones is a MUST SEE BY FASTPASS ride. Don't wait in standby. It can take FOREVER.

At DCA, the Monsters Inc ride is hit and miss. Sometimes its quick and other times the line takes FOREVER. The line for California Screamin is not bad - moves pretty well most of the time. ToT is deceptive. The line outside can move pretty fast but then once inside past the Twilight Zone movie it can take a bit, but at least its air conditioned and comfortable. If the line at Soarin says 45 minutes, it means at least 45 minutes. Grizzly River Run line goes FAST FAST FAST. . .but be prepared to get completely drenched.

Have a great trip. I am sure others will either agree or disagree, but I am their at least every month and never care whether it is crowded or not - I usually still manage to see everything.
