What kind of lines should I be expecting at Disney?

Been there. Long ones. Could be 1 or more hours per ride.

Get there EARLY and get one of those "short cut" passes.

Ride the high demand rides first in the AM, cause by 11-12PM everyone will be on them.

Then again, airlines are all virtually bankrupt, and charging an arm and a leg to bring anything with you on the plane; a tank of gas costs more than a 1 day ticket; hotel reservations are plumbing because of the economy. People have less money to travel, are buying big screen TV's and staying home.

So perhaps, no one will be there (except perhaps foreign tourists)

:P

I sugest going to Disney World at night. The lines are like 2 minutes long for just about every ride. It's less hot out too.
The busiest part of the day is from like 12-5. After 5 o'clock peopel start to leave or have dinner reservations so less people are on the rides.

LONG MASSIVE ONES WITH PEOPLE TRYING TO SNEAK THEIR FAMILIES IN THE LINES.

Go to a book store and buy something called "The Unofficial Guide to Disney World." It has a lot of helpful tips on when and where to go, and how to limit the amount of time you spend in line. Have a great time!

Im not 100% about florida.. but if its anything like California in the summer the lines will be between 20-50+mins for each attraction. Bring lots of water, good walking shoes and be really patient!

long lines that will probly be at least 20 min long,. . . could be longer.

well depending on what ride you are talking about, you will be seeing different amont of time. more popular rides could have an 1 hour to even 2 hour wait unless u get whats called a fast pass where they advance u to the front of the line. i beleive u can only get 1 per 2 hours and then you can only ride at a certain time

i went like 6 years ago so i dont know how it has changed but depending on what ride, what day of the week and what time of day. i would suggest going on a weekday (usually tuesday or wednesday) not at night!! when you get there scope out the lines and hit the rides with the most people at lunch when all the lines are down. hope that helps!

I am taking my children to Disney World July 24th-30th. They sent me a package with details. Some lines (like space mountain) are 45 minutes to an hour long. But, they have the machine where you place your ticket and it puts a time on for you to come back and you dont have to wait in line. Have a good time.

Very long, but it's worth it

Expect long lines......now I haven't been there in a few years but the last time I was there some of the more popular rides were starting something called speed pass or quick pass or something like that. What you do is take a ticket and it tells you what time to come back for the ride. You have a MUCH shorter line to wait in that way. I would recommend it.
Wow, I am jealous. Have fun at Disney world.

If you are staying on site you can use the magic extra hours in the morning and the extra ones at night to beat some of the crowd. You can also get fast passes to help your wait. Typically at least 45 minutes to hours

It depends when you go. Make sure you go in the morning for shorter lines. And since its summer, the lines will be pretty long. Depending on the ride, up to 90 minutes. The famous kiddie rides like Peter Pan's Flight and Snow White's Adventure always have lines of atleast 60 minutes. Usually the 3 roller coasters in Magic Kingdom have lines of baout 45 minutes. Use the fast pass. They let you get tickets for rides. These tickets have a time frame on it, and if you come back during that time, you pretty much get to skip most of the line. So its liek waiting in line, without having to be there!

Have Fun!!! :)

WOW have any of you even been to Disney before??

It depends on what time of year you are going. There a lots of months where lines aren't bad at all. I go several times a year and never wait in line more than 20/30 minutes.

Do some research before you go and have a great time!!

during the summer, VERY LONG, especially for the popular rides. go on a weekday and arrive early in the morning and do all the popular rides first, when the lines are shorter. also, uses fastrack passes (get them, then go on another ride / get food and come back with your fastrack!)

massive ones

it depends on when you go. i have learned that if you go during the week then the lines wont be that long. people especially adults have jobs. i would say that the lines would be no more than like 30 min. in the week and like no more than 1 hour on the weekends. it also depends on the ride. if the ride is really popular than expect long lines but if the ride isnt as popular there wont be that big of a line. let me know how your trip was.

looooooooooong

really long line this time of year also it will be really hot in these lines so bring somthing to cool off with

Approximately 45 min per ride(take advantage of the fast passes it prints oput a time for you to come back and go to the front it holds your place in line basically) but if someone in your group is handicapped you can rent an electric cart and go straight to the front of the line every time. Don't do that unless someone is genuinely disabled though. Also I went there and I was surprised at how hot it was and how humid. You step out side and you are like drenched. Wear natural fiber clothing like cotton silk or linen and make sure it is not tight but rather free flowing and breezy. The water bottle fans you can buy there are so worth it. Get one when you get there and they let you refill it all over the park with ice water. It sprays cold water and blows a small battery powered fan, that's the only way I survived.

haha long lines! For every ride, they tell you how long the wait will be! I just got back from Disney and the most popular rides usually have long waits; around 40-60 mins.
Rides like Rockin Rollercoaster can have a 100 min wait. Thats when you get a fast pass lol

#1redsoxfan

Long lines especially if they're big or famous rides. Wear comfy shoes :)

well i went this past january and the lines werent bad at all but this is summer time. I think the lines might be a little bad because its summertime and alot of people are on vacation.

Thats nice of your sister =D

Unfortunately, though, the lines will likely be very long (maybe an hour for many rides). If you can, ask your parents if you can get a fast pass =O. Theyre very expensive though so you may need to tough it out.
