The Legacy FastPass line for the Jungle Cruise is longer than the standby line!!!!! Legacy Standby is walk on while the FastPass line snakes outside of the queue. This happened before the "FASTPASS Return Time Enforcement" went into effect on March 7th, 2012 when folks were able to use the Legacy FastPass late or whenever they wanted and is one of the many drawbacks from Disney allow this. The video caught my attention because it's listed as an "Example of why the Fast Pass enforcement changes will fail." Has anyone seen this happen on the Jungle Cruise recently????? TIA

Is it that they just haven't opened up more lines inside for threading people through? I'm guessing the actual head count is much smaller for FP+ than Standby in actuality.

You can't tell anything about how long the lines are at that ride are from the outside.

This is what it looked like before the FastPass return time enforcement and you could use the Legacy FastPass whenever you wanted. The video shows the standby for legacy FastPass as walk on while FastPass line is backed up outside of the queue from people using late FastPass after their return window. Have you seen fastpass lines that are longer than the standby lines recently????? I was wondering if this was still happening?????

It is possible that the JC was just coming back on-line after being down for a short period of time.

I experienced the same thing at Space Mountain back in February. When it went down most of the people in the standby line left, but those with FP+ stayed in line outside the ride.
