Avoiding the Lines at WDW: Disney World
<!– p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } –>
If there is one thing we immediately think of as a possible negative when visiting Walt Disney World, it is having to wait in lines. This concern exists for good reason because waiting in lines is virtually inevitable when making a trip to WDW and attempting to go on the rides. However, there are ways to limit the aggravation and even bypass the lines entirely if you follow this article and experience Disney World like a professional.
The first and most popular way to avoid the lines is to take advantage of the “fastpass”. Fastpass is free to anyone visiting Disney World theme parks and is available for the most popular rides. Getting a fastpass is simple: Just insert your park admission ticket into a fastpass machine. This will give you a fastpass that allows you to return at a specific time (normally a one hour period) and bypass the regular “standby” line. Before you even insert your ticket, check out the return time posted above the machine and decide if it will work in your schedule. On your fastpass at WDW, look at the time you are allowed to get another fastpass and get one for a different ride as soon as you are able. Unofficially, you can usually still receive credit for your fastpass even if you arrive outside of your allotted one-hour time span. For example, if your pass says to return between 4:00 and 5:00 but you arrive at 6:00, the employees will normally allow you to use the pass despite it being expired. Do not count on this for sure, however, and it will certainly expire the next day.
Secondly, Walt Disney World offers a special opportunity called “Extra Magic Hours” to WDW hotel guests. So, if you’re booked at on the official Disney hotels (the Swan/Dolphin, Hilton in the WDW Resort, Shades of Green) you can take advantage of this program. It permits you to enter a certain theme park one hour prior to the official opening on certain days of the week. Additionally, on other days of the week, one of the theme parks stays open to the Disney resort guests for an additional three hours after the general public is asked to leave. Therefore, you may want to consider definitely having a Park Hopper ticket if you are going to use this program because you might want to visit a different park that day just for the Extra Magic Hours. Check Disneyworld.com for these dates and times.
Next, if you don’t mind being away from the rest of your party or you are by yourself, you can use the “Single Rider” line. You can find this at Test Track, Expedition Everest, and Rock N Rollercoaster. You will be used to fill in empty seats so this line moves much faster than the regular line. Also, if you or someone in your party has special needs (mobility, visual, hearing or cognitive disabilities), you can get a special pass called a Guest Assistance Card by visiting Guest Services when you arrive. Depending on the type of pass you get, you can be allowed easier access to various attractions.
In conclusion, these are some of the easiest and most convenient ways to avoid lines at Walt Disney World. As with overcoming all problems you may encounter when visiting WDW, your best bet is to plan ahead in order to avoid any possible inconveniences.
