Disney World Rides That Aren't Worth the Wait (And How to Ride Them Anyway)

[@diamondsonthesolesofhersho7591]

Rope drop also avoids the HEAT, especially in the Slinky Dog line

[@TheParkhop]

Absolutely.

My last trip to disney we rope dropped Flight of passage and we have gotten really good at doing our "moms on a mission speedwalk" (we are all in our early twenties, not moms). We find there is a specific fast walk that will NOT get you yelled at by cast members for running, and you'll zip past everyone. We got on flight of passage this time within 15 minutes, walking through the queue the entire time, and did every ride at animal kingdom with 5-20 minutes wait. It was fantastic and we were done with our day before lunch!

Thank you for doing these videos! You do a great job to only have 300 subs. You deserve more

[@TheParkhop]

What a nice thing to say, Nicholas! Not worried about the subs for now, just trying to put out some good content. The rest will come. Be sure to subscribe and share The Parkhop!

The line for Kilimanjaro Safari is a no for me. When we went last year it was 90 minutes. It was like 95 degrees outside and that line is so humid.

Wheres the love for the awesome fireworks!! Peter Pan is a must! And Mine train??? The best!!!

[@DPIpodcast]

Good points of view. I don't know if we can be friends after the Seven Dwarfs segment. I will be looking for more content. You have a good clean presentation.

[@TheParkhop]

Thanks for watching! Sorry to disappoint you on SDMT. I'm sure we can learn to get along anyway. 😄

I second skipping seven dwarfs mine train

Even though Test Track doesn't always feel like it's worth the crazy wait times, I think this is a ride families should sacrifice their "group mentality" for. Just get in the single rider line and shave 20-30 minutes off your wait. I get that a Disney trip is about family but you will have to make a few cuts and sacrifices here and there. I took the single rider line and was surprised that the family that rudely cut in front of me raised a fuss about being separated. Did they REALLY think the rule wouldn't be enforced?? LOL...

[@largol33t1]

PS: Forgot to add, this was back when Test Track was barely a year old and on version 1.0. When you go, it will be the second version so I have no idea if the queue is going to be different. Also, when i went, this was in the days of paper Fast Passes. I'm serious, there were paper versions. You had to run to a large kiosk maintained by one CM. There were two screens with oodles of information on which rides to pick from. You find the ride, scan your entry ticket under the screen and tap the name of the ride. If a fast pass was available for it, it printed a ticket with the arrival time stamped on it. I recall learning online that there was a loophole that Disney probably knew about but left alone. The system assumed you were already in line, impatiently waiting when the arrival time came, so it RESET itself! What you would do is leave the line. Yes, I'm serious. The "hackers" left the line and went to a kiosk. They scanned the ticket a second time and picked another ride. Voila! Another ticket printed because the system assumed you had already used the first one! That way, you already have a secret reservation for the second ride you wanted. That alone saved me over FOUR hours of waiting in line. Of course, MIckey sees everything God does so he found out pretty quickly and they did away with the paper system. What I found the most fun was fighting other kids for the Fast Passes that were discarded. Because they had not been redeemed, they still worked. Sometimes people changed their mind and picked another ride and threw theirs on the ground. I remember being disappointed that Maelstrom (which Frozen replaced) was "sold out." The CM tapped me on the shoulder and, with a sly grin, pointed at the ground. In front of me was a valid Fast Pass for that ride! I thanked him, grabbed it and ran for "Norway" in World Showcase. The way they butchered and ruined the entire Fast Pass system is one of many many reasons I will never go to WDW again.

I enjoy your channel! My family visits Orlando at least twice a year and I'm in pain being unable to go right now. I feel like your list is spot on. I would disagree about mine train. I guess it's special for me because it was the first rollercoaster my granddaughter rode. So it's a must do for us.♥️♥️

[@TheParkhop]

Thanks, Kenyatta! Glad to know SDMT is a must-do for you, and glad we can still be friends. 😆😆

Freakin' Astro Orbiter. What has happened to that ride over the years? Used to be a walk on and now it's 45 minutes. Never again.

[@TheParkhop]

That one and peoplemover have gone kind of crazy in recent years. Love AstroOrbiter at night, though.

[@nathancarasick958]

who waits for a long ride for frozen it’s a really bad and stupid ride

[@judyradin]

None of these rides are anything special. Theres a problem when frozen is best on the list
