A half hour wait on a Tuesday in October during a pandemic seems insanely long. I do not think I will ever go to Disneyworld based on this.
Same. It just isn't fun for me or the family. We did Disneyland a few years back and i'm not sure anyone really even enjoyed it. Waiting in line for over an hour for a 3 minute ride isn't a good time to me. We made the stupid mistake of going to Universal last year while in Florida. We made it about half day before we all looked at each other and said, "lets go to the pool".
SD, this is my disney fear, tell me how you avoid this. I really want to take my family to disney, but this is a complete nonstarter, and why I haven't taken them yet.
We went to Legoland in San Diego last February and we didn't wait for an hour for any ride. We did the small rides during peak times, and the big rides the two hours before closing time.
we don't really stand in lines. probably 30 minutes is the longest we will be in a line all trip. keys are:
1) go during slow times. October, May, first week of December are when we usually go.
2) stay on property. we stay at the Beach Club usually. 5 minute walk to epcot gate. 20 minutes to Studios. You can enter the parks earlier than the other guests and get a couple rides in on a biggest line having rides before it gets busy.
3) Go early in the day. Early entry for staying on property is key here but be there before it is supposed to open even for that and you will get to ride a bunch of the biggest rides before it gets to the point of even having a line. We do that and then ride less busy rides until about lunch. Then we head back to the resort and swim and chill before heading back into Epcot in the evening and do the non-ride stuff.
4) one that won't really help anyone: we go all the time so the kids don't need to ride EVERYTHING. They have their own favs we do and we'll do the headliners but we aren't doing sun up to sun down marathons of rides and lines and characters and parades.
