No Line Waiting

[CBoysMomLovesDisney]

What is the best way to get into the any park without waiting in long lines

At the Magic Kingdom, if you're staying in a WDW resort, and you have a park-hopper pass (I believe, others can back this up / correct me), you can sign up for E-Ride Night. On E-Ride Nights, the MK is open another 2-3 hours after closing, and it's a much, much smaller group of people because it costs more to go.

Essentially, whenever we go, we do one or two E-ride Nights during our stay, and otherwise we don't enter the MK at all. We've been doing it for years, and it's wonderful.

Go at a slow time of year and get to the park before opening.

Extra Magic hours - both before normal closing and after normal closing - are available at no additional cost for any guest staying in a Disney resort.

Schedule a breakfast priority seating in the park for a time before park opening. We just did Crystal Palace at 8:10am, it was a breeze getting in.

There cuurently is no more E ride night. It has been changed to the night time E(xtra)M(agic)H(ours) plan. It does not cost anything, you need to get a wrist band at the park that is having the night time EMH. From what I have read, it is crowded at these, although I imagine at the very late MK nights, it must start to get empty after midnight or so. But I am not sure of what the original question is. If you want to get into a park without waiting in lines at the entrance, just come later in the day. There are really only long lines to get in early in the morning, because later in the day all the long lines are at the attractions.

EMH Evenings are usually really crowded...even in the slow early February/September season. Mornings are quite nice, however. Just get to the park 30 mins before opening (or if it's during EMH Mornings than before EMH) and you'll be fine for a while. Of course once the crowds start pouring in, you'll need to know which rides to go on at which times

ummm- sneak in after hours.....

hee hee sorry--- just could not resist!!

I understood the OP's query was about attraction lines, not admittance to the parks. My mistake!

Still, if you get there early, you can walk right in at opening.

There are lines, and sometimes really long lines, at all the parks prior to opening. There is simply no way around this unless you go in the off-season. The good thing is that there is normally some kind of opening show that "officially" opens the park. The Magic Kingdom has the best show. Once the ropes are dropped and the crowds get into the park they disperse to various attractions so the wait times on the rides early in the morning are very short.
We have found that you can get a lot done at all the parks when you get there right at or before opening. The really big crowds don't arrive until later in the morning.

As KarenP99 said - make a PS for an early Breakfast! It is AWESOME to be in the parks before they are actually open! Cinderella's Royal Table & Crystal Palace are both good at the Magic Kingdom. The Princess Breakfast in Epcot is nice - but it's a hike early in the morning! We love Donald's Breakfastosaurus at the AK as well - it seems we always have great service there! They just need to get that Rumored Toy Story Breakfast ready at MGM now!

We love this trick! Here's a picture of DS4 chasing birds in an Empty Magic Kingdom before CRT 3 weeks ago!

From what I gather that the question is: how to avoid long lines when entering park: Carry no bags, back packs or camera bags and eliminate the security check. Proceed to train station and get off at Frontierland and work your way backwards to the park beginning. Somewhere along the way, you'll meet up with the guests going forwards and then the crowds begin. Other than that, there's no real way to avoid lines. Happiest place on earth and alot of happy people partaking of the magic.

You beat me to it - I was thinking the exact same thing!

I can't agree more. At MK, AK, MGM, and perhaps even EPCOT, they have separate lines for people who didn't bring a bag with them that needs to be checked through security. We find that the security bag check lines are much, much longer and slower than the actual "take my ticket and let me into the park" lines.

While it's true that there are fairly long lines to get into the parks right at opening, it is also true that the other people in this line will be the only people in the park for a while. We find that we can get much more accomplished at a park by getting there right at park opening than waiting til later in the day. An early, early breakfast is a great idea for getting around even the early park entrance line!
