The Worst Line... (Longest!!!)

Before Fastpass it was always pretty bad

While I don't know for sure, I gotta figure Indiana Jones Adventure is up there... even if you don't count the switchbacks in the "jungle" area, and just start counting from the ramp up to the temple...

WDW's Pirates has a long walk to get to the ride as well... so does Kilimanjaro Safaris.

The little coffee trolly in the plaza is pretty bad in the morning... They need more coffee shops! Actually when we were there at Christmas all the dining options in the morning were really busy. Nothing worse than waiting in line when you are hungry...

I'd have to agree with what a lot of posted about Peter Pan being consistently long. It is a great ride though, and I am always happy to see that there's a long line. I like thinking that there are parents going on the ride with their kids for the first time and introducing the next generation to the ride and movie. My parents still tell me stories about how my eyes got really wide when I flew over London the first time when I was a baby. Also, the queue line music is awesome (and Treasured).
I remember when Indy first opened, and the line went through all of the regular queue, across Adventureland, into Frontierland, zigzaged in the main Frontierland plaza, and started up by where Big Thunder's exit. Truly the longest line I have ever seen. Luckily, my family would hit the ride about 30 minutes before closing, and the line was only half an hour.

It always feel like the rides in Fantasyland (WDW) have the longest ques. It could be because you are in the sun for so long.

When we were there last week, the longest line we waited in was for Splash and that was only listed at 50 min. But I would say that is nowhere near the worst queue. For me, that is reserved for the Storybook Land Canal Boats. The length of the line itself wasn't too bad, it was the constant feeling of being claustrophobic. Factor in the midday sun shining directly overhead and you're left with a very bad setup. It'll take a lot to get me in that queue again.

The last time we went was in 2005 and the longest line we waited in was Peter Pan. We waited at least 45 minutes, which at the time, seemed insane for a Fantasyland ride. But my kids had never been on it before and I had forgotten how great it is so it was worth it.

I do remember when Indy opened but I only remember the line reaching the Tiki Room. I remember standing in that line with my little portable spray bottle fan trying to stay cool. But once we got inside it was much cooler and at least we had stuff to look at.

Dumbo always has a long line. I am always amazed at the wait for this classic ride.

Well, this thread was started long before the Nemo subs opened, but for me, that takes the cake. I've been to DLR twice since it's opened to the general public and the line for that ride is SCARY. Easily 2-3 hours long and with really nothing to look at besides the poor saps in line for the Matterhorn. lol. Well, at least waiting for the seagulls to start crying out "MINE!" is amusing enough. And if there's a band playing in that square (the name escapes me), I guess that could help pass the time. My advice? If you've got the time to sleep in the next day, don't bother getting into line for this one until just before park closing and you just might get away with waiting for under an hour!

YUP!! This is by far the longest line in the park right now. When I went last, I waited 1hr and 45mins. Either be one of the first 500 people that get in the park or wait until the end of the day. The best part about waiting until the end is you dont have to be in the sun all day!

Exactly. And that's what I did--went at the very end of the day at about 11:45 and my friend and I waited for only about 40 minutes. It was the longest wait we had for anything all day.

whats disneyland without lines? at least thats what i kept telling myself this past july when myself my hubby and our three kids went. we went on a tues thru thurs and the crowds were quite well behaved i must say. however, splash mountain was crazy, the first nite we actually waited for over an hour for that ride, then proceeded to get wetter than we ever have gotten, they MUST have just refilled the water supply, thats all i can say! after that we just loaded up on the fast passes. but peter pan was not to be bargained with. its just the kid in me that kept calling me towards that ride, telling me that all the time and money spent on this trip would be for nothing if i didnt stand in line and wait for it, so, i did, and i drug my youngest child with me! hee hee ho ho! and it was WORTH IT

oh i LOVE still being a kid at 41! have an awesome nite, all!!

Hey there. Myself personally I've always thought, and still do, think that Space Mountain has/had the longest line in Tomorrowland at least. Maybe it doesn't seem long once you're up top and the switchbacks are so close together but if you really take into account the narrowness once you're inside, not to mention the somewhat harrowing catwalk section you tend to to realize why the "chicken exits" have more than one function. The last time I went they were having their preview openings in 2005 so the line was actually extended into the Space Place area, (the restaurant itself was closed, no surprise), so that added even more trepidation to the queue. I've always felt that if they would at least cover the top area from the sun it would be a little more bearable, especially in the summer. Well, that's my two cents, peace.

Thank heaven for fastpass, but i do wish it had a single rider line. i asked a cast member once why it didn't have one, he said it was because people would buy the pictures and not want a stranger in it. i pointed out that splash had the same feature and a single line and he just starred at me.

What exactly is the single rider line and how does it work? How many attractions have this now? I wish they had that when I was an annual pass holder and still lived in CA>

Peter Pan is ridiculous! I never ride that ride anymore. The line is just crazy. But my favorite ride is Splash Mountain and I get FastPass for it cause there is no way I'm waiting over 2 hours to ride it!
