These Disney World Rides Are for People Who Hate Waiting in Line

Let’s face it — waiting in lines is one of the worst parts about Disney World.

Although some queues are better than others and have interactive elements or air conditioning, most Disney World visitors want to do as MUCH as possible in their day — so waiting in lines is not ideal!

We keep track of the Disney World wait times every day and create guides that can help you decide if you should buy Genie+ (Disney’s skip-the-line service). But what about those consistent attractions that almost NEVER have a line?

We’re taking you through the average wait times in Disney World from the past week and below we’ve bolded some attractions where we consistently see low wait times. Check these out next time you really can’t handle waiting in any more lines!

Magic Kingdom

There are a ton of attractions in Magic Kingdom, many of them being shows, so there are many that you can do without waiting in line. If you want to rest your feet, enjoy Country Bear Jamboree, Hall of Presidents, Carousel of Progress, the Tiki Room, and Mickey’s PhilharMagic. The PeopleMover, Dumbo, and Mad Tea Party are some rides that you can do with a minimal wait as well!
