I was going to ask on the disABILITIES board as this relates to my health but it isn't that specific, so thought you might be able to help. I'm going in 4 weeks and I know it will be hot (and I have lots of strategies in place) but I want to avoid the queues that are outside, if I can. Please can anyone give me a heads up? I've looked around but can't seem to find anywhere that lists the rides and attractions that have outside queues.

Thanks in advance!
 
Most are covered with A/C but there are a few.

One of the most exposed, hottest and slowest for me is Tomorrowland Speedway in MK.
 
Most are indoor and have AC as HopperFan just posted. However, even some of the indoor AC queues begin outside before they go into the main building of the attraction.

Here are some off the top of my head that are pretty much all outside queues. Some go from outside to inside, though it is later on in the queue, when you approach the loading area of the attraction.

Haunted Mansion
Jungle Cruise
Thunder Mountain
Splash Mountain (to an extent)
Tomorrowland Speedway
Tower of Terror (to an extent)
Rock'n Roller Coaster (to an extent)
Beauty & The Beast Stage Show
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
Aladdin's Flying Carpet
Walt Disney World Railroad
Spaceship Earth (to an extent)
Tea Cups
Carousel of Progress
Carousel at Magic Kingdom
Astro Orbiter
Kilimanjaro Safari
Expedition Everest
 
Kilimanjaro Safari is the worst IMO. I thought I was going to faint in that line.
 

most lines are in side or under shade

I would bring an umbrella and use this when waiting in line that is out side ( but make sure it is very small so it dose not get in any ones way )


also if you do have problems with the het do rope drop do FP for around 11 to 3 and then get some more the you are done if you want to see the parade find a spot out an hour in the shade ( if you have more then one person with you take a break and have your partner save you place and go in side to the AC ever now and then but make sure you are in your spot at lest 20 to 25 minutes before the parade or your spot will be gone.

This is some of the things I do to stay cooler in the warmer summer months they may help you or they may not.

bring a fain with a mister
cooling cloths work
a hat ( or umbrella yes I know some do not like them but a hat can really trap the heat in you just be smart if you do use an umbrella like close it in crowded areas )
I like the columbia zero freeze clothing
