Which rides should I NOT FP for?

[JenniferFolsomCa]

I've heard that some of the rides have beautiful theming/interactions in the waiting in the line are and was thinking of NOT doing a FP for those. Which ones are they? I've seen Dumbo before and know that is super cute and shaded so will check that one out. Any others?

I’ve never done it, but I’ve heard peter pans is pretty good. We always rd it so I’ve never seen the normal que.

Peter Pan. If you go at RD to avoid the long line, ask the CM to let you through the normal cue and they should oblige. It's probably our family's favourite cue.

Does anyone know if CMs will let you through the normal cue during EMM? We'd like to see it but definitely not waiting in line.

There is no ride I wouldn’t FP.

I really like the Big Thunder Mountain queue. If you get there within the first hour of park opening you shouldn't need a FP and the line won't be long. There are a lot of clever signs and the closer you get to the load platform the more interactive the queue becomes. It is for the most part covered and also offers cool views of the ride.

Little Mermaid is fairly nice too. The wait time sometimes spikes but any time we saw it the wait was manageable. There is a stretch that is outside but once you get into the queue it is dark and cool. There is a bit of interaction but I personally liked just taking in the view more.

Somewhat entertaining queues:
Pooh
Little Mermaid (MK)

I'd add the Mine Train to this list. Fun interactive stuff to do to kill the time.

It's "queue." A cue is a signal.

Peter Pan is great. We have done it at rope drop and gone through the regular queue. You don't want to wait too late to do it because lines build up quickly due to the low throughput.

Haunted Mansion is another good one that has been mentioned.

Winnie the Pooh is interactive but more geared towards kids.
7DMT also has an interactive queue
The Little Mermaid is pretty entertaining
Big Thunder Mountain is good with a lot of nice touches.

At Hollywood Studios, Star Tours is great, although you can see all of it even if you use FP.
I also enjoy TSMM with the board games and toys but it was better with Mr. Potato Head interacting w/ the crowd.

At Epcot, I like Frozen Ever After which really does a good job of putting you in Arendelle.

At Animal Kingdom I think all of the queues are very well done. In fact, as far as that is concerned it might be the overall as far as quality and consistency in queue theming out of all the parks.

They did for us last year. Seemed excited to do it, too.

It's very cute.
