One source of frustration and annoyance for many visitors at Disney land or Disney World are the long lines for the rides. You can literally spend several hours of the day standing in line to ride popular attractions. These lines can be avoided in one of three ways.
1. Get to Disneyland early. The lines are shorter in the morning when the park first opens. Instead of jumping in line for the first ride you see, head for the rides that you really want to ride the most popular rides. Make a plan or itinerary on what rides are most popular that you want to visit and schedule them. This has worked like a charm for my family.
2. Another option is to purchase Fast Pass tickets for the rides that offer them. Again, do this early to ensure that you get to ride those rides earlier in the day. You can also order tickets online or by phone. Call Disney and request a Fast Pass ticket or tickets for specific rides. A little planning and forethought go a long way to making your Disney Vacation an extra special one.
Side Note:
FastPass can be obtained from machines located near the rides that accept FastPass. This doesn't mean that you get to immediately move to the front of the line. It is more like scheduling an appointment for the ride later in the day at which time you actually will move to the front of the line. In the meantime, you are free to go enjoy other sites and rides around the park.
When you obtain a FastPass ticket, you will be given a one hour time in which to enjoy the ride. For instance, your FastPass ticket may say 11am to 12pm. This means that you can show up and move to the front of the line between the hours of 11am and 12pm. You must have your Disneyland ticket in order to obtain a FastPass ticket.
At Disneyland, FastPasses are available for Indiana Jones, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Roger Rabbits Cartoon Spin, Autopia, Space Mountain, and Buzz Lightyear.
3. The third option to avoid long lines at Disneyland is to ride many of the popular rides later in the evening, while the majority of people are enjoying the entertainment. Disneyland or Disney World has nightly entertainment, and this is a good time to find shorter lines.
Of course, it will mean that you probably miss the entertainment, so if you can use one of the other options for shorter lines at Disneyland, you should probably do so.
Most visitors just wander around aimlessly but those with a specific plan on what rides they definitely want to visit and in the order of popularity will enhance the overall Disney Vacation.
