Top 10 Attractions with the Shortest Lines at Disney World

Top 10 Attractions with the Shortest Lines at Disney World

Memorial Day officially kicks off summer! Kids are on summer vacation, the temperatures are rising, people are filling up their pools, and families are going on vacation. Therefore, Disney World is a crowded place to be! If you’re visiting Disney World during the summer, you’re probably wondering how can I experience attractions without waiting and waiting? Is there anything that has a short line? Yes, there is! Disney World actually has many attractions that offer short waits almost all of the time so I have compiled a Top 10 list of attractions with the shortest lines.

1. TTA/WedWay People Mover-This attraction rarely ever has a wait; and even if it does, it’s usually very short. On really slow days, some Cast Members will even let you stay on the ride if you don’t want to get off, which is great if it’s raining or you have tired feet or tired kids. This attraction also gives riders a sneak peak of Space Mountain and is about 10 minutes long, which is pretty lengthy in comparison to other rides and shows. Regardless of what time of year you visit Disney World, you are almost always guaranteed a ride on the TTA with a minimum wait.

Top 5 Underrated Disney World Attractions

Top 5 Underrated Disney World Attractions

Anyone planning a trip to Disney or who has been there before knows that are certain attractions that get a lot of attention and fill up the queues really quick. Therefore, some other Disney attractions that may not offer the latest technology or the biggest thrills sometimes get overlooked and are definitely underrated. This is unfortunate since some of Disney’s best secrets are underrated attractions. Therefore, I have compiled a list of Top 5 Underrated Disney World Attractions for you to check out on your next trip to Disney World!

1. Carousel of Progress-This attraction came from the mind of Walt Disney himself and was shown at the 1964 New York World’s Fair to raving reviews! Today, this show still runs in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom and has the honor of being the longest running show in American theater! The Carousel of Progress is unique in that the theater rotates around to different stages where you get to see how progress and new inventions impacted daily life in the early twentieth century. This charming show is both educational and entertaining. It’s usually not at the top of many Disney guest to-do lists; but it definitely should be! All ages enjoy it and it gives us a glimpse into the mind of Walt Disney himself.

Candlelight Processional in Disneyland Expands to 20 Nights

Walt Disney Company has announced that Disneyland general park guests are going to not only have the ability to attend the Candlelight Ceremony and Processional this year in Disneyland but they will have 20 nights to enjoy the special holiday event. In past years Disney has had only two nights of the event and they were reserved seating and invited guests only. Regular Disneyland park goers could have a view from roped off areas or standing room only, but, rarely were any tickets available for purchase and then only to D23 members or select groups.  This holiday season, in addition to the two invitation only nights the general visitors, with a special ticket purchase, Disneyland visitors will have 20 different nights to choose from and the option of the dining plan, similar to Walt Disney World’s Candlelight Ceremony and Processional.

The Candlelight Ceremony and Processional is one of the oldest traditions at Disneyland dating back to 1958 when Walt Disney started this annual event. The choir of the processional includes Walt Disney Company employees who vie for a spot every year in this special telling of the Christmas story. Celebrity guests are invited each year to narrate the story and a full orchestra plays in the background.
