2 hour wait
in [Disney Parks]

From: BucsFan on 21 Jul 2010 20:58 Back in the E-Ticket days, I kow we did some 2 hours waits; now, I'll go for a posted 30 minute wait if I think it's overstated.... I do remember our first trip to AK in June 1999 (Honeymoon). We weren't there at openeing, but soon after. We headed straight for the safari and the line was back past Tusker House. A cast member was out front saying "Do not get in this line. The wait time is over two hours. Do NOT get in this line, you WILL ruin your day!" We found it pretty funny, but heeded her advise. We never did get on the safari that trip, but have well made up for it since. Sometimes, even Disney magic needs a dose of reality! -- BucsFan "Alpha" <notreal(a)verizon.net> wrote in message news:Xns9DBB95D149870notrealverizonnet(a)188.40.43.230... > We're planning on using Lines for our upcoming trip, so I spent a little > time today getting to know it.

One of the worst days we ever had at WDW was when we met my cousin and his family one day when we just happened to be there at the same time. They wanted to meet about noon and then just do one attraction after another that were next to each other no matter how long the lines were rather than seeing attractions which short lines and coming back. We had gone on Splash Mountain twice in less than the time they waited to go on once.
From: LaurieJen on 21 Jul 2010 21:21 I think 30 minutes posted time is the longest we would get in line for. Then we figure it will probably be less. On one of out grandkids trips we waited more than 45 minutes for Arial's autograph. The other times we were there she wanted to get in line and we kept saying another time it will be shorter. Well on the last day we had to let her get the signature. On our first visit we did wait in line for 90 minutes for several rides and did not care as it was our honeymoon as as long as we were together we did not care what we were doing. -- Laurie "Alpha" <notreal(a)verizon.net> wrote in message news:Xns9DBB95D149870notrealverizonnet(a)188.40.43.230... > We're planning on using Lines for our upcoming trip, so I spent a little > time today getting to know it.

From what my DH has heard, if you are overweight or tall, you can't get on this ride - the seats are very small. Michelle |
