Following final week’s post about no matter if or not to deliver back a FastPass system, I gained a number of e-mail from visitors with interesting factors of perspective. With attraction strains in mind, just one of these folks reminded me how elaborate my favored queueing region truly is. So, in distinction to past 7 days, this time, I needed to appear at a handful of of the attraction traces that are so comprehensive of depth and atmosphere that they set the scene for the trip ahead, getting aspect of the expertise fairly than just a waiting room for the primary function.
Below are a several of my beloved attraction queues that are value the wait around.
Haunted Mansion – Magic Kingdom
Ever due to the fact its reopening in March of 2011 (yep, that was 10 decades back!), the newer style of interactive queue at the Magic Kingdom’s Haunted Mansion gained the hearts of visitors. Disney supporters like an easter-egg-design and style treasure hunt, and the much more exclusive tombstones and crypts that honor some of Walt Disney World’s Imagineers are an excellent way for guests to link the dots and enjoy the record that now permeates the region.
If you have at any time relished the luxurious of FastPass+ on this attraction, you may well have seen that your journey bypasses this place altogether. Devoid of even a stroll via, you miss some of the charisma this attraction has to present, location the scene for the haunting trip forward.
Flight of Passage – Animal Kingdom
From the picturesque exterior of the Valley of Mo’ara to the intricately in-depth inside of primitive Na’vi caves and military bunkers, Flight of Passage reset the bar for emersion when it comes to ready in line. Using state-of-the-art know-how, Disney has us believing we are wandering by Pandora. That hidden magic simulates every thing from slipping h2o in two synthetic waterfalls to the LED tubes’ sporadic flickering to reproduce that emotion of underground fluorescent bunker lighting.
If that were not plenty of to impress you, I a short while ago learned that the pre-display essentially has an alternate version which is for a longer period to address for any delays from the attraction. While most of us will never ever see this, some of you could previously have observed it and would not even know it.

Expedition Everest – Animal Kingdom
A single of my favorite lines in Walt Disney Planet, the queue region for Expedition Everest, is not rather as flashy as its fellow Animal Kingdom entry, Flight of Passage, but what it lacks in tech, it tends to make up in depth.
As the breeze whips through the fictional Himalayan Escapes vacation agency, your working experience begins. With so much to see and browse at each and every change, you could very easily invest time savoring these walkways. Temples, museums, and yetis, oh my! The line for this a person is unquestionably element of the enjoyable and immerses you in yet another planet, deep in just the Himalayas, the place journey is a certainty.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout – Disney California Journey
A lot of of you know that this Tower of Terror makeover unexpectedly became a single of my most loved attractions from the moment I entered the Mission Breakout line. When you walk into the Collector’s archive, the line winds close to a collection of interactive artifacts exactly where the story unfolds for even the newest of Guardians of the Galaxy lovers.
Of system, the best aspect is when you head into the pre-present, and an audio-animatronic variation of Rocket can take about from previously mentioned. Eliminating the eerie elements from the Tower of Terror and changing them with funky tunes, humor, and an enjoyable atmosphere leaves you emotion upbeat and all set to go prior to you even action onboard.
Indiana Jones Journey- Disneyland
I have to say there is a bit of nostalgia in this 1, and admittedly, the rationale this whole report arrived about.
It was 1995 when the Indiana Jones Experience rumbled into Adventureland in Disneyland. Most of the queuing spot curves down a corridor inside of a temple that has been created to make company come to feel like they are venturing further and even further into a mysterious jaunt with Indy himself. In the early days, attendees have been presented decoder playing cards to aid translate the symbols in the course of this spot, a single of which I have buried absent somewhere.
One particular of the explanations I have generally identified this line to be just one of the most captivating is that for substantially of it, you are not in a position to see more than the people today immediately in front or driving you. The twists and turns of this line are typically achieved on equally sides by sound walls, leaving you unable to see the string of hundreds just before you. A different appreciated aspect of this is that the FastPass line does not pass up all the motion, assembly the normal queue at the temple’s entry stage. It basically would not truly feel the exact same if you didn’t make your way by the spike space and pull on Dr. Dunfor Pullit’s rope in advance of boarding.
This record was comprised of a couple of of my particular favorites. Now that you have experienced a examine-by, see what you imagine, and then permit me know in the feedback below what your top 5 attraction queues are and why.
