I will say, disneylands Peter Pan is worth it to me, the vibes are a lot better in my opinion, even though it’s short. usually, tho I try to ride it towards the end of the day, its a little more bearable
People travel across the to do this ride. So, it just goes to say that a person could just get sucked into the line. It's a 👍 ride, p but not worth an hour and a half to ride it.
Its an old ride, over 50 years old if you date back to its original opening. A lot of the kids that went on that ride are now grandparents and want to relive the nostalgia of that ride, usually with their children and grandchildren in tow. If you look at the ride, you'll definitely notice that a large majority of the adult guests in line are over the age of 55.
First time at MK and I was expecting dwarfs to be an amazing coaster but it was one of the most anti-climactic experiences of my life. Waited 2 hrs for that hot garbage. However, Avatar ride was also a 2 hour wait and definitely worth it!!
@@alfredc.7777 i felt the same way when we went just after 'New FantasyLand' Opened.. but over the years feel better about it. It sure didn't' live up to the hype of being the ONLY new ride in a major expansion, but years later its cute
As someone who’s visited WDW a lot I feel the big issues started when they introduced Genie+ on top of their existing capacity issues. The wait times seem to have gotten longer because they constantly let the Genie+ line through non stop.
I would add Winnie the Pooh to that list. At Disneyland, the average wait is around 10 minutes. At Disney World, it's like 30-40, and they're basically the same ride.
I feel like the one at Disney World is *slightly* better, but overall you’re right. Its 30-60 minute wait is hard to swallow when the DL one can be a walk-on so often.
@@Guide2WDW we just went to Disneyland first time at Christmas but this year we want to go to Disney world for Christmas. How bad is the crowd compare to Disneyland? The longest time we saw at one attraction is 330 mins for radiator spring and luckily we rope drop that one and only wait for 20 mins
It’s cause pooh is in fantasyland and the front of fantasyland at that in Disney world but at Disneyland it’s in critter country and in the corner of critter country The rides great but I agree it feels like a waste of time to wait that long for a ride that has a duplicate version on the other coast with a wait that’s a fraction of the time
For mission rewind, the reason a to get motion sickness is looking where the ride inst trying to make you look. If you just focus on what’s infront of you, you’ll most likely wont get motion sickness. And if you do, it’ll be a lot less than if you were looking around
Totally agree. Anytime I felt a little queasy on Cosmic Rewind, I'd just focus on the track or the car ahead of me, and then I'd feel the motion sickness settle down. Although, honestly, it was not a big deal for me, but I was nervous because I had heard that so many people had issues.
I went to animal kingdom in January and by 6pm I had just gotten out of flight of passage and the only ride left to go on was navi river journey, but the wait was 95 minutes long. We ate and a cast member told us that the ride was actually around 40 minutes, they just exaggerated so people wouldnt go on it, so we entered the line (it was boiling outside and the fans werent really helping) and I got on the boat 40 minutes later... it was so worth it! Its a short ride but the animatronic is stunning and pandora at night is just immaculate
Just FYI Aladdin has a wheelchair car and Dumbo does not (even after they expanded it) it serves a VERY important function!!! Allowing some of our least mobile family members to enjoy a ride. Very few rides at MK can accommodate a wheelchair so it’s key. It’s a Small World and Under the Sea are two others. It’s really sad that they redo rides or make new rides (I’m looking at you Navi River) and still don’t make them accessible.
I did not realize that. Thank you so much for letting me know. Like you said, that's a really important function, and something I overlooked. Hopefully Disney can do a better job making their rides more accessible moving forward.
The Atlanta traffic comparison is very factual. Also big agree with the list, apart from the motion sickness picks. Though I'd throw in Mission Space Green (snoozefest) and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. I wouldn't even say seven dwarfs is necessarily a better ride than Big Thunder, but the wait is so ridiculously long for a pretty short ride.
SMDT is a tough call for me. I love the scene in the middle, and I’m personally really excited to take my son on it as his first real roller coaster. But the wait time is ridiculously long, so it probably would be #6 for me for Magic Kingdom for very similar reasons to Slinky Dog (which I actually think is more fun as a coaster).
Good list. I don’t agree with all your pics, but they are all reasonable. One thing you got me thinking about is the difference between a few times a lifetime guest vs we Disney geeks who are closer to a few trips per year. There are many rides I’ve done many times before and won’t wait in a long line for. But I would encourage someone whose never been before to endure the wait and ride.
Thank you! I definitely think you make a good point. My tolerance for a long line is really low considering that I’ve been on these rides many times, and I also will have a chance to go again in the not so distant future because of my incurable Disney habit. If I was giving advice to someone who was only visiting once every 4-5 years, I’d probably encourage them to endure the longer waits for the more unique attractions and try to find the strategies to keep waits shorter (Lightning Lane, Single Rider, and early/late hours).
Honestly surprised 7 dwarfs mine train wasn’t on the lift, I waited an hour for it and I was pretty underwhelmed, it was good, but I wouldn’t wait an hour for it again. Maybe 40 mins, but the hour was just too long for me. 😅
You’re probably right. Honestly, I wouldn’t wait for more than 40 minutes for it either. I like the ride a lot, but the waits for it are usually too long.
I was surprised test track wasnt on the list. The line is always crazy and its so dated feeling. Even the going fast part isnt exciting because its so predictable
As a Disney College Program graduate I can confirm this list. I made magic at the Millenium Falcon everyday and had not been to Walt Disney world for almost 18 years. Because we had comp tickets over my 6 months working I did every ride, saw every show, and walked through everything on property including hotels and gift shops, etc. Everyday we would watch wait times and take guesses for which attraction had the highest wait time. We would even talk among ourselves for which rides we would add to which park to help fix the capacity problems. Some days I would go to the parks and only do shows or smaller experience rides. But it didn’t concern me because it didn’t cost money. If those days did I don’t think I would have taken the time to experience everything in the park and would have just went from E ticket ride to E ticket ride.
I loved the Florida version of Mad Tea Party because of it not having a speed limit. Also, I use Autopia as an "in-between" ride while waiting for a moble order or LL
I went for basically the first time last November since I'm more of a Universal guy and honestly, no ride was worth the wait. There are are some decent rides like Slinkydog, but for the most part, 95% of the rides felt outdated or the ride had been overhyped online and wasn't impressive. Unless Disney figures out their capacity issues or updates a massive amount of their rides, I won't be going back.
Ngl, u deffo missed Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Ratatouille. Seven dwarfs is NOT what its hyped up to be. Its a rlly slow coaster with nothing much other than disappointment. Cant remember the exact time I queued for, but it was ×500 longer than it needed to be. AVOID AT ALL POSSIBLE COSTS!!! Ratatouille is rlly boring ride, rlly boring queue, needs to be quicker speed wise imo. I remember my last trip to Disney, I queued for abt an hour (got kinda near the front, but not too close) and they announced there was an error or smth. Waited another half hour and still wasnt fixed, nor could they tell us when it would be. Left the queue and follwed the action on the app, and it was abt another hour before the app labled it as closed. Ive heard that this isnt just a one time thing and happens frequently...
That was the average posted wait time across the entire year in 2023, via Thrill-Data.com. Of course waits will be lower at certain hours and at certain times of the year.
I rode TRON after waiting 6 hours in the VQ and 1 hour in the actual queue and it was insultingly short - awesome ride but the puny length really took a lot away from it.
I waited in my virtual queue last year for Tron from early afternoon until almost 7. I was in the queue inside for an hour. For a minute and some change, it was not worth it and was a major letdown.
Ill wait 30 minutes for a ride. 45 min if i really wanna ride. Anything higher than that is a no. I did lighting lane for everything so luckly i didnt wait no more than 15 min for each ride 😅
No 3 minutes ride ever is worth an hour wait time. I refuse to wait more than 30-45 min for a ride anywhere I go. 45 is even pushing it but fun if you wait with others in line- I use whatever fast pass is offered constantly
I would add Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at MK it’s always a 90+ minute wait. It’s one of those examples of just because a ride is newer doesn’t mean it’s better.
This. I went Presidents Day weekend. Mine Train was 90 and Big Thunder was 40. Mine Train doesn't have enough unique Snow White theming for me to warrant waiting for it. Just ride Big Thunder
The scene in the middle of SDMT saves it for me, but it's a really close call for not being worth the wait. It also seems to be the most popular suggestion by commenters.
I rode it recently and even with a short wait I was pretty underwhelmed. The fact that it's wait times are super long and ILL really made me think it was going to knock my socks off.
I think the 90+ minutes lines for Slinky Dog happen because the only other rollercoaster in DHS isn't exactly a family coaster and people tend to be attracted by the kinetic energy of coasters in general (but it really isn't worth the wait tho). It would be great if Disney invested more in longer family coasters with deeper theming (unlike Wandering Oaken's) and bigger capacity to spread out the lines. Seven Dwarfs is another exemple of this type of success with huge lines.
DHS definitely needs more rides that appeal to the whole family. Another coaster like what you described would go a long way - and definitely not something as short as WO.
That’s a good point! Ratatouille is a borderline call for me - ride is delightful, but the line is extremely long. Similar to Frozen, but I like Rat a bit more so it didn’t quite make this list. Definitely would recommend others do it as a rope drop or Lightning Lane.
I agree with Slinky Dog. It’s a fun ride but last time we spent over 90 minutes waiting and it just wasn’t worth it. From now on my policy is Lighting Lane only.
I would personally replace Space Mountain with Seven Dwarfs, because it consistently has over a 2 hour wait, and Big Thunder Mountain offers a pretty similar experience, if you are fine with a little bit of roughness.
I personally would switch Space Mountain with Seven Dwarves Mine train. I won’t deny that Space Mountain is showing its age but I still get much more thrill out of that then I do 7 Dwarves which feels way too short while also having a ridiculous wait time. So it’s a bit of a mix of Slinky Dog and Naavi river. So I refuse to go on it without fast pass which is no longer free and with cost and complexity of Disney had led my family to just skip the parks altogether and go to Universal. Also with the Tea Cups, I actually tried to go on them quite a few years back because we were there with my nephews and when I got on one, my legs were too big and dug into the turning wheel.
Former fantasyland cast member here, let me give yall some secrets Pan - always has a long wait theres no way around it and the only reason you wont see an update is because the rides location would require cranes and scaffolding etc but its in the middle of the park itd be a massive inconvenience so they wont do anything with it the waits also ling because of the low hourly capacity like two people a boat means very few people an hr Pooh fireworks and park close are the best time to get in line with no wait we would normally over estimate by 5-10 mins but it all depends in the dispatch cm if they can do there job they can keep that line moving flawlessly and quickly, on top of this ive seen the line to the entrance with a half decent dispatch cm and it took maybe 15 to get on and off its only because of LL that our line would take so ling Tea cups is a 2 min ride with a decently high capacity as long as everyone sits down doesnt stand and keeps the doors closed we would be rolling quickly outside of this though if someone stands mid ride we would start from the top again which would add time before you get on just go before park close anyway 30 min wait ive seen 45 mins and theres no way id say its worth it Heres the trick ride pooh tea cups little mermaid buzz aladdin thunder dumbo barn stormer carousel small all within the last two hrs especially that last 45 mins theyre always dead empty
Formal MK custodial cast member here and I can confirm you are right. Go during fireworks or right at park close. The closing time is meant for when the line closes NOT when the park truly closes. When I worked Main Street closing shift, I would always see the final guests coming from underneath the castle from rides like Pan and Seven Dwarves as late as 2am sometimes if there were extended hours.
Hi! Former Navi River Journey Attractions Cast Member here 2022! (before I got moved to custodial at MK) Yes. It isn't worth it. We were trained to exaggerate the wait times just to drive people away but it never helped. Lightning Lane made it 10x worse especially because management didn't want people actually booking it despite purchasing the package. I learned Spanish just to help non English speaking guests and was booted from the team as a result. Not all teams are like this in WDW (safari crew had FANTASTIC management just next door) but the Navi management definitely does NOT help with the guest experience and wait there. They preach efficiency but make the waiting experience SOOO much worse than it needs to be compared to other rides.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your insights and experience. It's a shame to hear that there are so many factors negatively impacting the experience for Navi River Journey. You learning Spanish to help out guests is amazing, btw!
That is one of the joys of being an AP - not ever waiting too long because you can always just come again another day. That was my favorite thing about going to Disneyland as a local back when I lived in LA.
If its just my partner and I, we'll do a long wait for a single ride. We're AP holders and usually do lunch/dinner at a park and do one ride we really like regardless of the wait. Like Rise of the Resistance or Tron. If our daughter is with us, Lightning Lane only. I'm not gonna make a four yr old wait in a 90 minute line. Not because she'll have a bad time, because I'm not willing to subject myself or those around us to that torture.
I HATE spinning rides! One time at seaworld my mom wanted some time to talk to her friend, so she had me take her kids on this spinning sesame street ride like, five times, and I really thought i was gonna hurl🤢
Lol, yeah, that’s up there for rides I wouldn’t personally wait for. It does fill a great role as a little kid’s first coaster, but I wouldn’t ever recommend anyone wait more than 15-30 minutes for it.
I actually really enjoy Na’vi River Journey, because it’s 10-15 minutes in relaxing dark and cool air conditioning. I’d personally replace it with Flight of Passage, that one’s wait times are despicable.
Not to burst your bubble, but Na'vi River Journey is just under 5 minutes. I wish it was 10-15 minutes - that would be awesome! But I'm glad that you really enjoy it.
TRON is not better than space mountain. 57 minute wait is amazing for space mountain, unlike TRON which isn’t. And what about seven dwarfs mine train, it’s rubbish and should replace space mountain on this list.
I used to always skip it, but now consider it more now that I have kids. I think Magic Kingdom has so many other great things for little ones that Peter Pan isn't worth it unless the line is unusually short.
Seven Dwarfs would be my main omission too, but I'm also starting to think Rock n Roller coaster isn't worth it. It's often a big queue - and the single rider is often terribly slow too - and the ride suffers from downtime quite a bit - I feel like it's an old coaster that's got pretty rough and has just been dressed up with some theming. If there was a more modern thrill coaster in the park it would quickly look a very poor option in comparison, save the literal headache and go ride something else!
I went to Hollywood Studios and Rise of the Resistance was at a 425 minute wait. I was personally not going to wait 4 hours for one ride. That’s like half a day at the park.
I went on the orange mission space because I thought it would be a chill ride, and my goodness it wasn’t. I literally walked out thinking I might just die right there I was hurting so bad. I’m never riding it again.
You also have to consider the waiting queue. For example, you will never see me wait for Slinky Dog Dash in the HOT waiting queue. Or the claustrophobic queue of Frozen at EPCOT.
I totally agree! I probably should have talked about this a bit. I think this played a factor in my rankings, because having a great queue makes a huge difference. The line at Little Mermaid at Magic Kingdom is way more tolerable because the queue is amazing. Same thing with Indiana Jones at Disneyland. But Peter Pan, Slinky Dog, and Frozen all suffer from their queues, for sure.
Extremely important point! Tower of terror, mission: space, Indiana jones, etc are all inside and air conditioned while also immersively themed. Win win imho
The non magic kingdom parks all need spinners because they are all struggling with capacity. They keep building these giant e tickets to draw people in but then there are malfunctions that they can’t fix because there’s nothing else to do in the parks.
That is why we rope dropped Navia to get it in 20 min instead of 60+ then lightning laned it after. For Animal if you rope drop it or skip it you can pretty much skip genie+ but we went on an insanely busy day. Sadly have to agree on Space Mountain. It is probably my favorite in the park as Tron did not really blow me away. However 90+ min is too much. A little shocked 7 dwarves mine train was not on that list especially since you cannot genie+ it.
Mission space orange is good but probably not worth more than a 30 minute wait. 40+ or more I'm probably gonna skip Space Mountain which pains me to say because I absolutely love that ride. Peter Pan is lightning lane or I'm just skipping it all together. You should do a video like this for Universal Studios
As soon as I saw the title of this video I immediately thought about Peter Pan. But you're a criminal for putting Space Mountain anywhere near this list
Disney also built Rise of the Resistance and Flight of Passage around the same time, so it's not like they aren't doing rides on that level. But Universal is definitely where to go for more intense, highly themed coasters. Excited to see what they do for Epic Universe.
Agree with everything except mission space. I can understand not liking the ride due to motion BUT it’s still a unique ride that pulls off something interesting you won’t find anywhere else in the park. Considering the wait times are usually reasonable I think it’s worth the wait but skippable for those with motion issues vs all the other rides on this list that are really not worth the wait for the experience you get from the ride.
Wow… that is certainly a take. Since you aren’t taking questions, I’m not going to say what kind of take I think it is, but it’s definitely a take. 😝 (Actually, I’m glad you really dig the ride!)
It might be that I was once wowed and then didn't ride it again for like a decade. But it just din't live up to my memories at all. I also think that it feels like one of those rides that you must do with kids to be fun but it is too loud and scary for them.@@Guide2WDW
I never understand how people get sick on mission space. I have closed my eyes and tried what people say will get you the most sick, and I have never gotten sick.
The more I go to Disney, even the rides I love are becoming just not worth the wait!!!! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I’ve never ridden frozen and never plan to. I love watching real fans being real and not shilling.
I’m scared to say this for fear of being roasted in the comments, but Jungle Cruise is very close to the top of my personal list of skippable rides. I feel like after you ride it once or twice there’s not enough to make it worth the 50 min+ wait.. it was cute a few times, but man, it is very hit or miss and all depends on your Skipper cast member.
Coming from the guy who is getting (somewhat rightfully) roasted for including Space Mountain, I get it. I love Jungle Cruise, but the skipper really makes or breaks the experience. It's definitely 30 minutes max for me.
The river journey suffered from not having anything happen. If they pulled a pirates and threw in a drop or two, it would be dope. You get chased through the jungle by the dog like creatures, and have to jump off a waterfall to escape them would be a fantastic story line and then reaching the Navi at the end would be dope
The ride I wouldn't stand in line for is It's a Small World. That ride is so annoying. I know it's iconic and has been there forever but I wouldn't ride it again if it was a walkup.
Wow! I mean, I get it. But it’s my mom’s favorite ride, and so many kids in my family have adored it when they’re little. I’ve been on it so much now that I just can’t imagine not going on it when I go to Disney World, even though it’s not my personal favorite ride.
Small World walk on is peak because while it isn’t a top ride for me (despite being a classic), it is an air conditioned sitdown ride in the middle of your hot, tiring Disney day
I just went to WDW (haven’t been since I was 9, am now 35) and wouldn’t even try to get a LL for Frozen because I just don’t understand the hype but I guess it’s not made for me and that’s okay. Second, I can’t understand why Slinky Dog is so popular. It’s very cute but otherwise, you can see almost all of the theming from the area and it’s a very standard coaster. Again, it’s very cute but not for more than a 30 minute wait and it was constantly 95 minutes when I went end of February.
The massive lines for Slinky Dog are a bit baffling. But it's the only family friendly thrill ride in the park that doesn't have a ton of stuff aimed at kids. I agree that it would be great at a 30 minute wait.
Hontestly i dont think any Disney ride is really worth the wait anymore. The parks are suffering from a lapse in maintenance and an over reliance on lower quality effects and theming. Now that a single day ticket is around 200 any wait that is longer than 20min becomes a loss in return. The total ride time of all the attractions in all of WDW (not just one park) is around 2.5-3 hours that means you are waiting in queue the equivalent of 33% of the entire ride time across 4 entire parks for a ride that makes up less than 1% of that ride's individual contribution to the total ride time. And if its something that you find unimpressive or unintersting with little to no reride value well that is a huge chunk of your day just gone. The average person may only get 5 or 6 total rides out an entire day so that entry ticket of 200 means each ride is about $40 so you have to ask yourself is that ride experience worth that dollar amount.
You make some good points, and I think Disney needs to focus on the value proposition of their tickets more by making the guest experience excellent (maintenance and quality of effects/show is part of that). However, I personally get more out of my time at Disney than *just* the time on the rides - the atmosphere, the food, the sounds, even some of the queues. There's a ton of value there beyond just the time actually spent on rides (by the way, I'm curious, does that 2.5-3 hour time also include shows?)
I actually dig Navi river journey a lot. the cool chill vibes are a nice break from the heat, plus I can't handle Flight so this scratches the pandora itch. but yeah the line can be too long.
Only a select few aka guardians of the galaxy rise of the resistance is about it rest of Disney is boring and tame tron is a launch coaster with no inversions boring waste of time at this park if u want thrills and excitement islands of adventure at universal busch gardens is at the top for thrills and seaworld. Simple as that
Imma be honest ALL the rides at Disney have too much wait times but they can all be worth it if you are only visiting the parks once in your life or you don’t live in Florida
The one I kind of balked at here was Space Mountain, buuut... it was always a FastPass ride for me (in the days of FastPass). I actually booked a FastPass to ride Tomorrowland Speedway once, but it was for the obvious reason (my kid loved these rides).
I agree with these except for the spinning attraction cause they always bring a smile and a laugh but also I disagree with the following: 1. Space mountain: while I can’t ride this ride because of how jerky it feels (its age shows) I do remember the one time I rode it and it was fun + it’s a roller coaster and in general I feel like they are ok to wait longer for 2. Pixar film festival: I understand the argument that you can see the shorts outside of the parks so this one is just a personal take but as someone that loves animation having the opportunity to watch 3 really well done shorts that being out emotion and laughter in an immersive environment with lighting and vibrations and such it’s worth the 10 minutes of my day 3. Slinky dog dash (sorta): I agree that the wait for this is absurd and should probably average around 30-40 minutes max however again a personal one because I don’t really do much at studios as I can’t ride rockin, tower of terror, or smugglers run so instead I choose to wait the absolutely awful 80-90 minutes to get some slight thrill at that park although it’s always iffy
I went to Disney world for my first time just a little over 2 years ago, and my entire party didn’t want to do the river adventure with me. That was the one ride in any of the parks that I said I would do at least once. We ended up standing in line for the never avatar ride instead. It was fine, cool but pretty underwhelming in my opinion. I had to force someone to stay with me past park hours to get in line for the river adventure and STILL wait over an hour 😭 but it was 100% worth it.
I agree with you about Peter Pan. I will never understand why people line up for that one.
It's a little baffling to me, to be honest!
I don't get it either, makes no sense to me.
I will say, disneylands Peter Pan is worth it to me, the vibes are a lot better in my opinion, even though it’s short. usually, tho I try to ride it towards the end of the day, its a little more bearable
People travel across the to do this ride. So, it just goes to say that a person could just get sucked into the line. It's a 👍 ride, p but not worth an hour and a half to ride it.
Its an old ride, over 50 years old if you date back to its original opening. A lot of the kids that went on that ride are now grandparents and want to relive the nostalgia of that ride, usually with their children and grandchildren in tow. If you look at the ride, you'll definitely notice that a large majority of the adult guests in line are over the age of 55.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention 7 Dwarfs Mine Train. The wait is almost always 2h+ every time I’m at the park
Seems to be a pretty strong consensus among commenters that SDMT belongs on the list. It would be #6 for MK if the list kept going.
First time at MK and I was expecting dwarfs to be an amazing coaster but it was one of the most anti-climactic experiences of my life. Waited 2 hrs for that hot garbage.
However, Avatar ride was also a 2 hour wait and definitely worth it!!
@@alfredc.7777 i felt the same way when we went just after 'New FantasyLand' Opened.. but over the years feel better about it. It sure didn't' live up to the hype of being the ONLY new ride in a major expansion, but years later its cute

Oh boy, I have a lot of thoughts on Genie+ - writing a video about it now. But it's definitely had a big impact on wait times.
I would add Winnie the Pooh to that list. At Disneyland, the average wait is around 10 minutes. At Disney World, it's like 30-40, and they're basically the same ride.
Ya Winnie is like zero waiting time at Disneyland at Christmas lol. For some reason no one lines up that ride at Disneyland
I feel like the one at Disney World is *slightly* better, but overall you’re right. Its 30-60 minute wait is hard to swallow when the DL one can be a walk-on so often.

you pulled me in with that intro. you deserve a follow and more success to you my guy
Thanks so much man! I appreciate you saying that and for the sub!
For mission rewind, the reason a to get motion sickness is looking where the ride inst trying to make you look. If you just focus on what’s infront of you, you’ll most likely wont get motion sickness. And if you do, it’ll be a lot less than if you were looking around

Seven dwarfs should be on here while it’s a very fun ride is typical a constant 90-120 minuet wait
I went to animal kingdom in January and by 6pm I had just gotten out of flight of passage and the only ride left to go on was navi river journey, but the wait was 95 minutes long. We ate and a cast member told us that the ride was actually around 40 minutes, they just exaggerated so people wouldnt go on it, so we entered the line (it was boiling outside and the fans werent really helping) and I got on the boat 40 minutes later... it was so worth it! Its a short ride but the animatronic is stunning and pandora at night is just immaculate
That’s really interesting. I knew Disney inflated the posted waits a bit, but not to that degree. Thank you for sharing!
Just FYI Aladdin has a wheelchair car and Dumbo does not (even after they expanded it) it serves a VERY important function!!! Allowing some of our least mobile family members to enjoy a ride. Very few rides at MK can accommodate a wheelchair so it’s key. It’s a Small World and Under the Sea are two others. It’s really sad that they redo rides or make new rides (I’m looking at you Navi River) and still don’t make them accessible.
I did not realize that. Thank you so much for letting me know. Like you said, that's a really important function, and something I overlooked. Hopefully Disney can do a better job making their rides more accessible moving forward.
The Atlanta traffic comparison is very factual. Also big agree with the list, apart from the motion sickness picks. Though I'd throw in Mission Space Green (snoozefest) and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. I wouldn't even say seven dwarfs is necessarily a better ride than Big Thunder, but the wait is so ridiculously long for a pretty short ride.
SMDT is a tough call for me. I love the scene in the middle, and I’m personally really excited to take my son on it as his first real roller coaster. But the wait time is ridiculously long, so it probably would be #6 for me for Magic Kingdom for very similar reasons to Slinky Dog (which I actually think is more fun as a coaster).
And on Peter Pan i swear you get stuck every 30 seconds
Truth.
Good list. I don’t agree with all your pics, but they are all reasonable. One thing you got me thinking about is the difference between a few times a lifetime guest vs we Disney geeks who are closer to a few trips per year. There are many rides I’ve done many times before and won’t wait in a long line for. But I would encourage someone whose never been before to endure the wait and ride.
Thank you! I definitely think you make a good point. My tolerance for a long line is really low considering that I’ve been on these rides many times, and I also will have a chance to go again in the not so distant future because of my incurable Disney habit. If I was giving advice to someone who was only visiting once every 4-5 years, I’d probably encourage them to endure the longer waits for the more unique attractions and try to find the strategies to keep waits shorter (Lightning Lane, Single Rider, and early/late hours).
Honestly surprised 7 dwarfs mine train wasn’t on the lift, I waited an hour for it and I was pretty underwhelmed, it was good, but I wouldn’t wait an hour for it again. Maybe 40 mins, but the hour was just too long for me. 😅
You’re probably right. Honestly, I wouldn’t wait for more than 40 minutes for it either. I like the ride a lot, but the waits for it are usually too long.
I was surprised test track wasnt on the list. The line is always crazy and its so dated feeling. Even the going fast part isnt exciting because its so predictable
Slinky is a top 5 ride at WDW, 7 dwarves mine train is never worth the wait.
I’m glad you like Slinky so much. It’s a great ride, but I personally ranked it #20 out of all the rides at WDW.
As a Disney College Program graduate I can confirm this list. I made magic at the Millenium Falcon everyday and had not been to Walt Disney world for almost 18 years. Because we had comp tickets over my 6 months working I did every ride, saw every show, and walked through everything on property including hotels and gift shops, etc. Everyday we would watch wait times and take guesses for which attraction had the highest wait time. We would even talk among ourselves for which rides we would add to which park to help fix the capacity problems. Some days I would go to the parks and only do shows or smaller experience rides. But it didn’t concern me because it didn’t cost money. If those days did I don’t think I would have taken the time to experience everything in the park and would have just went from E ticket ride to E ticket ride.
I loved the Florida version of Mad Tea Party because of it not having a speed limit. Also, I use Autopia as an "in-between" ride while waiting for a moble order or LL
I agree with basically all of this bar Space Mountain, no OG Space Mountain hate
I have no hate in my heart for Space Mountain. Just hate for the usual wait time.
When I rode Slinky Dog Dash in late 2022, I'm pretty sure I waited in line for three hours.
😱 That's crazy.
I went for basically the first time last November since I'm more of a Universal guy and honestly, no ride was worth the wait. There are are some decent rides like Slinkydog, but for the most part, 95% of the rides felt outdated or the ride had been overhyped online and wasn't impressive. Unless Disney figures out their capacity issues or updates a massive amount of their rides, I won't be going back.
Ngl, u deffo missed Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Ratatouille. Seven dwarfs is NOT what its hyped up to be. Its a rlly slow coaster with nothing much other than disappointment. Cant remember the exact time I queued for, but it was ×500 longer than it needed to be. AVOID AT ALL POSSIBLE COSTS!!! Ratatouille is rlly boring ride, rlly boring queue, needs to be quicker speed wise imo. I remember my last trip to Disney, I queued for abt an hour (got kinda near the front, but not too close) and they announced there was an error or smth. Waited another half hour and still wasnt fixed, nor could they tell us when it would be. Left the queue and follwed the action on the app, and it was abt another hour before the app labled it as closed. Ive heard that this isnt just a one time thing and happens frequently...
SDMT is definitely borderline. Disagree that Ratatouille is boring, but it's *probably* not worth the insane waits that it has now.
The Navvi boat does not get better if you're on it for longer, the ride got stuck for 10+ minutes and it was terrible
Yikes! 🫣
Still haven’t been on slinky dog. No idea why people would wait so long for that.
There’s no way the Navi river journey is a 70 minute wait I only had to wait like 20 minutes
That was the average posted wait time across the entire year in 2023, via Thrill-Data.com. Of course waits will be lower at certain hours and at certain times of the year.
I rode TRON after waiting 6 hours in the VQ and 1 hour in the actual queue and it was insultingly short - awesome ride but the puny length really took a lot away from it.
Last time I went to Slinky, it was at 200 minutes :))))))))))
💀💀💀
I had a fast pass when I last went on it, every time (which was 3), it was still like a 30-50 minute wait
I waited in my virtual queue last year for Tron from early afternoon until almost 7. I was in the queue inside for an hour. For a minute and some change, it was not worth it and was a major letdown.
Ill wait 30 minutes for a ride. 45 min if i really wanna ride. Anything higher than that is a no. I did lighting lane for everything so luckly i didnt wait no more than 15 min for each ride 😅
Just go to cedar point
No 3 minutes ride ever is worth an hour wait time. I refuse to wait more than 30-45 min for a ride anywhere I go. 45 is even pushing it but fun if you wait with others in line- I use whatever fast pass is offered constantly
I think everyone has a different threshold for how long they'd wait. I think 30-45 minutes max is pretty reasonable as a max.
I was going to say smugglers run is not worth the wait unless you are the pilot.
Fair point. I actually like Engineer too, but the solution there is to just do Single Rider and have a much shorter wait.
I hate Navi river journey too
Now a good ride worth the wait is ghostrider
matterhorn I wish it did not knock you around so much
Space mountain is definitely worth it 40 minutes is nothing but the Disneyland version shit on the wdw version
Disneyland's is so much better.
Mission space orange is terrible. I felt nothing more than what I would feel in a car when I press the gas
Wow! You have a stronger constitution than me. 🤢
I loved it the g forces was really fun
Space Mountain especially because the queue is extremely simple and penned up.
I actually like the Space Mountain queue, but 90% of that is the music being absolutely amazing.
I would add Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at MK it’s always a 90+ minute wait. It’s one of those examples of just because a ride is newer doesn’t mean it’s better.
agree, never been on it just due to the wait time and i love btm enough to just ride that instead
This. I went Presidents Day weekend. Mine Train was 90 and Big Thunder was 40. Mine Train doesn't have enough unique Snow White theming for me to warrant waiting for it. Just ride Big Thunder
The scene in the middle of SDMT saves it for me, but it's a really close call for not being worth the wait. It also seems to be the most popular suggestion by commenters.
Big Thunder is a great alternative - arguably the best coaster in the park.
I rode it recently and even with a short wait I was pretty underwhelmed. The fact that it's wait times are super long and ILL really made me think it was going to knock my socks off.
I think the 90+ minutes lines for Slinky Dog happen because the only other rollercoaster in DHS isn't exactly a family coaster and people tend to be attracted by the kinetic energy of coasters in general (but it really isn't worth the wait tho). It would be great if Disney invested more in longer family coasters with deeper theming (unlike Wandering Oaken's) and bigger capacity to spread out the lines. Seven Dwarfs is another exemple of this type of success with huge lines.
I imagine tron and guardians of the galaxy fit that bill
DHS definitely needs more rides that appeal to the whole family. Another coaster like what you described would go a long way - and definitely not something as short as WO.
Ratatouille should be on this. Always around an hr+, no way its worth that
That’s a good point! Ratatouille is a borderline call for me - ride is delightful, but the line is extremely long. Similar to Frozen, but I like Rat a bit more so it didn’t quite make this list. Definitely would recommend others do it as a rope drop or Lightning Lane.
We've been on this 4 times everytime it broke down and we had to walk out
I love that ride. Got in immediately because I was first in line after a break down
I agree with Slinky Dog. It’s a fun ride but last time we spent over 90 minutes waiting and it just wasn’t worth it. From now on my policy is Lighting Lane only.
I would personally replace Space Mountain with Seven Dwarfs, because it consistently has over a 2 hour wait, and Big Thunder Mountain offers a pretty similar experience, if you are fine with a little bit of roughness.
Big Thunder is a good alternative to SDMT, although definitely a big bumpier/wilder.
@@Guide2WDWI mean they don’t call it the wildest ride in the wilderness for nothing
I personally would switch Space Mountain with Seven Dwarves Mine train. I won’t deny that Space Mountain is showing its age but I still get much more thrill out of that then I do 7 Dwarves which feels way too short while also having a ridiculous wait time. So it’s a bit of a mix of Slinky Dog and Naavi river. So I refuse to go on it without fast pass which is no longer free and with cost and complexity of Disney had led my family to just skip the parks altogether and go to Universal.
Also with the Tea Cups, I actually tried to go on them quite a few years back because we were there with my nephews and when I got on one, my legs were too big and dug into the turning wheel.
Former fantasyland cast member here, let me give yall some secrets
Pan - always has a long wait theres no way around it and the only reason you wont see an update is because the rides location would require cranes and scaffolding etc but its in the middle of the park itd be a massive inconvenience so they wont do anything with it the waits also ling because of the low hourly capacity like two people a boat means very few people an hr
Pooh fireworks and park close are the best time to get in line with no wait we would normally over estimate by 5-10 mins but it all depends in the dispatch cm if they can do there job they can keep that line moving flawlessly and quickly, on top of this ive seen the line to the entrance with a half decent dispatch cm and it took maybe 15 to get on and off its only because of LL that our line would take so ling
Tea cups is a 2 min ride with a decently high capacity as long as everyone sits down doesnt stand and keeps the doors closed we would be rolling quickly outside of this though if someone stands mid ride we would start from the top again which would add time before you get on just go before park close anyway 30 min wait ive seen 45 mins and theres no way id say its worth it
Heres the trick ride pooh tea cups little mermaid buzz aladdin thunder dumbo barn stormer carousel small all within the last two hrs especially that last 45 mins theyre always dead empty
These are amazing insights and tips! Thank you for sharing!!!
I just do genie+ for pan. I waited 10 min 😅
Formal MK custodial cast member here and I can confirm you are right. Go during fireworks or right at park close. The closing time is meant for when the line closes NOT when the park truly closes. When I worked Main Street closing shift, I would always see the final guests coming from underneath the castle from rides like Pan and Seven Dwarves as late as 2am sometimes if there were extended hours.
Hi! Former Navi River Journey Attractions Cast Member here 2022! (before I got moved to custodial at MK) Yes. It isn't worth it. We were trained to exaggerate the wait times just to drive people away but it never helped. Lightning Lane made it 10x worse especially because management didn't want people actually booking it despite purchasing the package. I learned Spanish just to help non English speaking guests and was booted from the team as a result. Not all teams are like this in WDW (safari crew had FANTASTIC management just next door) but the Navi management definitely does NOT help with the guest experience and wait there. They preach efficiency but make the waiting experience SOOO much worse than it needs to be compared to other rides.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your insights and experience. It's a shame to hear that there are so many factors negatively impacting the experience for Navi River Journey. You learning Spanish to help out guests is amazing, btw!
As an annual passholder, anything with a wait longer than 30 minutes is a tough sell for me
That is one of the joys of being an AP - not ever waiting too long because you can always just come again another day. That was my favorite thing about going to Disneyland as a local back when I lived in LA.
If its just my partner and I, we'll do a long wait for a single ride. We're AP holders and usually do lunch/dinner at a park and do one ride we really like regardless of the wait. Like Rise of the Resistance or Tron.
If our daughter is with us, Lightning Lane only. I'm not gonna make a four yr old wait in a 90 minute line. Not because she'll have a bad time, because I'm not willing to subject myself or those around us to that torture.
You are 100% correct.
😄🙌
I HATE spinning rides! One time at seaworld my mom wanted some time to talk to her friend, so she had me take her kids on this spinning sesame street ride like, five times, and I really thought i was gonna hurl🤢
Disney land space mountain is literally glossy smooth
Disneyland’s Space Mountain is incredible.
@@Guide2WDWyou should make this list but for Disney Land
@@Urlocaloven7667 That's a great idea!
I agree with you about frozen. Like, it's good, but not 74 minutes good, ya know?
i looove space mountain at disneyland, but I hear the Magic Kingdom version is yikes😬
Barnstormer left the chat...
Lol, yeah, that’s up there for rides I wouldn’t personally wait for. It does fill a great role as a little kid’s first coaster, but I wouldn’t ever recommend anyone wait more than 15-30 minutes for it.
I actually really enjoy Na’vi River Journey, because it’s 10-15 minutes in relaxing dark and cool air conditioning. I’d personally replace it with Flight of Passage, that one’s wait times are despicable.
Not to burst your bubble, but Na'vi River Journey is just under 5 minutes. I wish it was 10-15 minutes - that would be awesome! But I'm glad that you really enjoy it.
@@Guide2WDW It doesn’t really feel that short, but thanks for the heads up!
i've never been on mission space, but it sounds like torture😨
TRON is not better than space mountain. 57 minute wait is amazing for space mountain, unlike TRON which isn’t. And what about seven dwarfs mine train, it’s rubbish and should replace space mountain on this list.
TRON is worth it if you have Lightning Lane passes and can skip most of the line. But it's way too short of a ride to wait in line for hours.
Space Mountain at Disneyland is way better. Peter Pan is a classic. Mission Space is lame.
DL's Space Mountain is incredible - definitely worth the wait there.
i always skip peter pan, the wait is ridiculous lol
I used to always skip it, but now consider it more now that I have kids. I think Magic Kingdom has so many other great things for little ones that Peter Pan isn't worth it unless the line is unusually short.
Seven Dwarfs would be my main omission too, but I'm also starting to think Rock n Roller coaster isn't worth it. It's often a big queue - and the single rider is often terribly slow too - and the ride suffers from downtime quite a bit - I feel like it's an old coaster that's got pretty rough and has just been dressed up with some theming. If there was a more modern thrill coaster in the park it would quickly look a very poor option in comparison, save the literal headache and go ride something else!
You make a good point! Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has seen better days, and it is by far the slowest Single Rider line in my experience.
I agree about slinkydog dash it’s a long standby wait but if you get a lightning lane it is definitely worth it
Oh, definitely great with LL. Best use of Genie+.
Space Mountain at Disneyworld is bad. Space Mountain at Disneyland is WAY better.
Disneyland’s Space Mountain is SOOOO good. Possibly part of the reason why I think WDW’s isn’t worth the wait. It’s way better in California.
I like space mountain. No ride at Disney is worth the wait except splash mountain and thunder
I would wait 20 years to ride slinky it’s my favourite ride😂
Wow! I’m happy you love it so much. It’s a great ride, but not top 10 at WDW for me.
I went to Hollywood Studios and Rise of the Resistance was at a 425 minute wait. I was personally not going to wait 4 hours for one ride. That’s like half a day at the park.
Jeeeeeeez. 💀💀💀 That ride is good, but not that good!
I went on the orange mission space because I thought it would be a chill ride, and my goodness it wasn’t. I literally walked out thinking I might just die right there I was hurting so bad. I’m never riding it again.
Totally! It’s intense! Mission Space Green is much more chill - it doesn’t spin at all, just some light tilting.
@@Guide2WDW Maybe I’ll try that one when I come back.
You also have to consider the waiting queue.
For example, you will never see me wait for Slinky Dog Dash in the HOT waiting queue. Or the claustrophobic queue of Frozen at EPCOT.
I totally agree! I probably should have talked about this a bit. I think this played a factor in my rankings, because having a great queue makes a huge difference. The line at Little Mermaid at Magic Kingdom is way more tolerable because the queue is amazing. Same thing with Indiana Jones at Disneyland. But Peter Pan, Slinky Dog, and Frozen all suffer from their queues, for sure.
Extremely important point! Tower of terror, mission: space, Indiana jones, etc are all inside and air conditioned while also immersively themed. Win win imho
The non magic kingdom parks all need spinners because they are all struggling with capacity. They keep building these giant e tickets to draw people in but then there are malfunctions that they can’t fix because there’s nothing else to do in the parks.
That is why we rope dropped Navia to get it in 20 min instead of 60+ then lightning laned it after. For Animal if you rope drop it or skip it you can pretty much skip genie+ but we went on an insanely busy day.
Sadly have to agree on Space Mountain. It is probably my favorite in the park as Tron did not really blow me away. However 90+ min is too much.
A little shocked 7 dwarves mine train was not on that list especially since you cannot genie+ it.
Great intro
Thank you!
youre bald
And you are observant. 👨🦲
Mission space orange is good but probably not worth more than a 30 minute wait. 40+ or more I'm probably gonna skip Space Mountain which pains me to say because I absolutely love that ride. Peter Pan is lightning lane or I'm just skipping it all together.
You should do a video like this for Universal Studios
No ride is worth 90 minutes in line under a hot sun!
Definitely another knock against Slinky Dog - the line is too bare bones and out in the heat.
They added fans so it was kind of bearable for me when I rode it today
As soon as I saw the title of this video I immediately thought about Peter Pan. But you're a criminal for putting Space Mountain anywhere near this list
I mean, that’s fair. I hate me for it too, but I wouldn’t wait longer than 30 minutes for SM.
How is universal building hagrids, while disney is building slinky dog dash.
Disney also built Rise of the Resistance and Flight of Passage around the same time, so it's not like they aren't doing rides on that level. But Universal is definitely where to go for more intense, highly themed coasters. Excited to see what they do for Epic Universe.
Agree with everything except mission space. I can understand not liking the ride due to motion BUT it’s still a unique ride that pulls off something interesting you won’t find anywhere else in the park. Considering the wait times are usually reasonable I think it’s worth the wait but skippable for those with motion issues vs all the other rides on this list that are really not worth the wait for the experience you get from the ride.
Mission space is the second best ride at Epcot and the fifth best ride in all of Disney world. No I will not be taking questions
Wow… that is certainly a take. Since you aren’t taking questions, I’m not going to say what kind of take I think it is, but it’s definitely a take. 😝 (Actually, I’m glad you really dig the ride!)
Dinosaur is too long as a walk-on
Wow! I disagree - it made my list of the best short wait rides. But are you excited it's getting replaced by an Indy ride?
It might be that I was once wowed and then didn't ride it again for like a decade. But it just din't live up to my memories at all. I also think that it feels like one of those rides that you must do with kids to be fun but it is too loud and scary for them.@@Guide2WDW
I never understand how people get sick on mission space. I have closed my eyes and tried what people say will get you the most sick, and I have never gotten sick.
The only time when Peter Pan flight has a zero minute wait line is when it’s rainy and cold because when it’s raining and cold, nobody wants to go
Completely agree with this list. Love slinky dog but never understood why it’s always such a long line.
The more I go to Disney, even the rides I love are becoming just not worth the wait!!!! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I’ve never ridden frozen and never plan to.
I love watching real fans being real and not shilling.
Frozen is super cute.. not better than its predecessor, but my kiddos love it.
I’m scared to say this for fear of being roasted in the comments, but Jungle Cruise is very close to the top of my personal list of skippable rides. I feel like after you ride it once or twice there’s not enough to make it worth the 50 min+ wait.. it was cute a few times, but man, it is very hit or miss and all depends on your Skipper cast member.
Coming from the guy who is getting (somewhat rightfully) roasted for including Space Mountain, I get it. I love Jungle Cruise, but the skipper really makes or breaks the experience. It's definitely 30 minutes max for me.
The river journey suffered from not having anything happen. If they pulled a pirates and threw in a drop or two, it would be dope. You get chased through the jungle by the dog like creatures, and have to jump off a waterfall to escape them would be a fantastic story line and then reaching the Navi at the end would be dope
That would be awesome. It definitely needed more - even just more animatronics would have been awesome.
Tron is horrible, my family rode it one time and have no desire to ride again. The only thing good is the take off
The ride I wouldn't stand in line for is It's a Small World. That ride is so annoying. I know it's iconic and has been there forever but I wouldn't ride it again if it was a walkup.
Wow! I mean, I get it. But it’s my mom’s favorite ride, and so many kids in my family have adored it when they’re little. I’ve been on it so much now that I just can’t imagine not going on it when I go to Disney World, even though it’s not my personal favorite ride.
Small World walk on is peak because while it isn’t a top ride for me (despite being a classic), it is an air conditioned sitdown ride in the middle of your hot, tiring Disney day
I don't wait over 30 minutes for any ride. I just rope drop and get Genie +.
My universal Orlando experience is so much better
I'm glad that you have a great time at UO. They have great parks there, and very excited to experience Epic Universe when it opens.
Great video! Also where do you find the statistics for the longest average wait times?
I got the average wait times from Thrill-Data.com. It's a fantastic site for theme park nerds like me.
Ngl the hair care tips line made me stay for the rest of the video. Def earned with that laugh
😄👴🏻
I just went to WDW (haven’t been since I was 9, am now 35) and wouldn’t even try to get a LL for Frozen because I just don’t understand the hype but I guess it’s not made for me and that’s okay. Second, I can’t understand why Slinky Dog is so popular. It’s very cute but otherwise, you can see almost all of the theming from the area and it’s a very standard coaster. Again, it’s very cute but not for more than a 30 minute wait and it was constantly 95 minutes when I went end of February.
The massive lines for Slinky Dog are a bit baffling. But it's the only family friendly thrill ride in the park that doesn't have a ton of stuff aimed at kids. I agree that it would be great at a 30 minute wait.
Hontestly i dont think any Disney ride is really worth the wait anymore. The parks are suffering from a lapse in maintenance and an over reliance on lower quality effects and theming. Now that a single day ticket is around 200 any wait that is longer than 20min becomes a loss in return. The total ride time of all the attractions in all of WDW (not just one park) is around 2.5-3 hours that means you are waiting in queue the equivalent of 33% of the entire ride time across 4 entire parks for a ride that makes up less than 1% of that ride's individual contribution to the total ride time. And if its something that you find unimpressive or unintersting with little to no reride value well that is a huge chunk of your day just gone. The average person may only get 5 or 6 total rides out an entire day so that entry ticket of 200 means each ride is about $40 so you have to ask yourself is that ride experience worth that dollar amount.
You make some good points, and I think Disney needs to focus on the value proposition of their tickets more by making the guest experience excellent (maintenance and quality of effects/show is part of that).
However, I personally get more out of my time at Disney than *just* the time on the rides - the atmosphere, the food, the sounds, even some of the queues. There's a ton of value there beyond just the time actually spent on rides (by the way, I'm curious, does that 2.5-3 hour time also include shows?)
I actually dig Navi river journey a lot. the cool chill vibes are a nice break from the heat, plus I can't handle Flight so this scratches the pandora itch. but yeah the line can be too long.
Glad you like it! I genuinely wish I dug it more - I see the potential!
@@Guide2WDW Navi was a one and done for me.
Only a select few aka guardians of the galaxy rise of the resistance is about it rest of Disney is boring and tame tron is a launch coaster with no inversions boring waste of time at this park if u want thrills and excitement islands of adventure at universal busch gardens is at the top for thrills and seaworld. Simple as that
IoA and BG are definitely better if you are just focused on thrills.
Imma be honest ALL the rides at Disney have too much wait times but they can all be worth it if you are only visiting the parks once in your life or you don’t live in Florida
I definitely have a lower threshold for how long I'll personally wait for something because I go so often.
No way you got motion sickness on mission space
On the Orange side? Absolutely.
Wow I get motion sickness but I didn’t get sick on orange wow
I have no desire to go to Disney tbh. I'm not giving that company a cent
That's certainly your prerogative.
The one I kind of balked at here was Space Mountain, buuut... it was always a FastPass ride for me (in the days of FastPass).
I actually booked a FastPass to ride Tomorrowland Speedway once, but it was for the obvious reason (my kid loved these rides).
I haven’t been to Disney World in forever
I agree with these except for the spinning attraction cause they always bring a smile and a laugh but also I disagree with the following:
1. Space mountain: while I can’t ride this ride because of how jerky it feels (its age shows) I do remember the one time I rode it and it was fun + it’s a roller coaster and in general I feel like they are ok to wait longer for
2. Pixar film festival: I understand the argument that you can see the shorts outside of the parks so this one is just a personal take but as someone that loves animation having the opportunity to watch 3 really well done shorts that being out emotion and laughter in an immersive environment with lighting and vibrations and such it’s worth the 10 minutes of my day
3. Slinky dog dash (sorta): I agree that the wait for this is absurd and should probably average around 30-40 minutes max however again a personal one because I don’t really do much at studios as I can’t ride rockin, tower of terror, or smugglers run so instead I choose to wait the absolutely awful 80-90 minutes to get some slight thrill at that park although it’s always iffy
The 3 I found myself nodding in agreement with the most are Space Mountain, Alien Swirling Saucers, and Na'vi River Journey.
I went to Disney world for my first time just a little over 2 years ago, and my entire party didn’t want to do the river adventure with me. That was the one ride in any of the parks that I said I would do at least once. We ended up standing in line for the never avatar ride instead. It was fine, cool but pretty underwhelming in my opinion. I had to force someone to stay with me past park hours to get in line for the river adventure and STILL wait over an hour 😭 but it was 100% worth it.
