Since we did a longest line thread I thought it might be fun to tell about the shortest line. What ride do you find has typically the shortest wait of all. And what ride do you normally wait a long time for but found an occasion you could walk right on?
I think the People Mover ride (what is it Transit Authority) has never had a wait for me!
I also have very fond memories of riding Splash Mountain over & over again as there were no lines on an eride night in the fall a couple years ago. You just had to wave yourself back through! It was fabulous!

Yes I always love going on TTA because you never have to wait!
I've found Spaceship Earth to be a quick moving queue on a couple of occassions, or at least we waited a lot less time than expected.

Our shortest time occurred only a couple of weeks ago when we saw Mickeys PhilarMagic. We walked straight in, got seated, and the show started immediately...why can`t it always be like this on all the other attractions? :blush:

We were able to walk right in to the HM several different times with no lines or waiting!

The majority of the rides this past trip were walk on. Although I did go to MK on Black Friday and there was a line for the TTA! :eek:

I think theres been loads of occasions where ive managed to walk straight on or in to an attraction. This past visit, i walked straight on to Space mountain, Jo barely had time time to look round the giftshop before i was back :hehe:
Also, outside Disney there was hardly any wait for anything at Universal or Busch Gardens. I rode the Hulk twice in a row and i think i could've stayed on Montu all day if id've wanted too. In fact, BG was a pleasure to visit at this time of year, no wait for anything :thumbs:

No wait in line for POTC, Goofy's Barnstormer, TTA, OR Figments Imagination ride. It was so great that it made the waits in the other lines not so bad.

This Sept we hardly had to wait for anything, we went fully expecting to be standing in lines for ages so we were very pleasantly surprised! The longest wait we had was 20 minutes for Back To The Future at Universal, everything else was typically 10 minutes or less - great!! To name but a few, Splash Mountain, Mission Space, Test Track, Rock N Roller Coaster were all ones we literally walked straight onto. :thumbs:

At some point during our holiday this summer, we got onto pretty much everything without any wait.

In Feb. 2003 I remember being very surprised to walk on to Star Tours @ MGM without any wait. I also remember waiting 45 min. :( for Peter Pan's Flight @ the MK on this same trip! Go figure.

I remember when we went in October walking straight on to all the big ones. Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, T.O.T., Thunder Railroad and even Fantasmic!. What a difference from this year when we went in July, :eek: :eek: massive lines everywhere (over to longest lines thread for details). Never again anytime from June to August.

we had a few walk ons inc Mickeys PhilarMagic, hulk, duelling dragons, spiderman, BTTF, kraken, BTM, mission space, so we took advantage of that and rode them loads of times :D

The only time we ever go in the June-August timeframe is if we take the grandchildren. When we go with our daughter and son-in-law for their 10th anniversary in 2008 I'm really hoping to avoid this time frame also.

Has anyone been able to just wave yourself through a ride again without having to get off? To me that is the biggest thrill. The only ones I can remember that happening on are PotC, Splash Mountain & this past trip on Winnie the Pooh which was a huge shocker to me as it's always crowded.

On three occasions this year while on honeymoon (with our hats on I must add) we were skipped to the front of the queue and that was in June.. Much needed favours from the C.M's during a busy time of year, It was Dinosaur, Splash, and Phillarmagical
Thanks CM's
