Rides with short wait times mid day

[Disney Dreams]

Thank you everyone. We will be there the Sunday after Easter Sunday.

By short line I mean no more than 10, maybe 15 minute max (or am I completely out of my mind thinking that there will be any ride with that short of a line??)...

I think that expectations are everything. So I am trying to help here.

Thinking that anything "more than 15 minutes" is a long line on a Sunday that is the end of Spring Break for some is just an unrealistic expectation.

I would start thinking about that being an amazingly short line that you are very lucky to find on a Sunday - not to mention the tail end of Spring Break for many.

thank you. Actually this is one of the reasons I asked the questions, so I can have realistic expectations and set my kids up for a successful day. We originally had planned the day to just stroll around, be lookie-lose, find characters (not planning on standing in line, just seeing them from a distance), get the lay of the land, etc so that first thing monday morning we would could just go go go.

I had hoped there might be a few rides with short lines, but we will see. I will go in expecting LONG LONG lines, so if we find one, all the better.
At least now though I know which to take a look at that more realistically have shorter lines.

Oh and the train, had not thought of that, thanks. What about the morarail, does that typically have a long line?

I dont know that much about CA and flicks land. I will have to do some more research on that.

And one more question, if we send a runner to CA for fast passes, do all 4 of us need to enter the CA gates to get our tickets activated, or does entering DL activate them for the FP machines in CA?

Thanks everyone, keep the suggestions coming

If you just want short waits, I would suggest Bug's Land. A lot of times you get off the ride and get in line and maybe have to wait once before you get to ride again. Sometimes, the CM will see us in line again and say we can just wait in our seats and go again if there isn't a line. I have gone on Heimlich's chew chew train 3 times in a row. Would not suggest that for Flik's Flyers or Francis' Boogie. The short waits definitely feed the again, again mentality.

This was how it was when we went in November and December but the last couple of times we've gone (including yesterday, a Sunday), it's been pretty busy. We were shocked last month when we went over there expecting to walk onto the rides and there were actually lines! Yesterday we didn't even bother looking to see what the line was for Heimlich's because last time we were there, the park was less busy and the line was 10-15 mintues which isn't bad, but for us, the chew chew train needs to be one we just walk onto because I'm not sure it's worth a longer wait but that's just our opinion.

If your tickets are activated in DL, then they are activated for both parks; somebody can run over to CA and get FPs.

Good to know, thank you.
