What do you enjoy at the Parks, but it takes too long?

[SandmanGStefani24]

soarin comes to mind. great ride, but even with fastpass my last wait was 40 minutes.

would add Toy Story Mania but have STILL not ridden it bc of the horrendus lines....

maybe someday...

Our theory is that it's not just about the parks. It's about our unique experiences and making memories. 'Ohana time works for me. But yes, some things can take too long.

For me, it's Ellen's Energy Adventure. I've always liked it but I haven't done it in years because it just takes too long. I wish they could cut it down or make some improvements.

Funny...I enjoy it for many reasons, but one of them is its length. I like having an attraction where I can relax in air-conditioned comfort for 40 or so minutes.

I hate wasting time trying to get a good spot for the parades. Some meet and greet lines are outrageous and I wish they could speed up the boats to and from Epcot and the studios. I love taking them buy my god are they slow.

Parades. Just too much time to "stake out" a spot before hand.

Oh, and I pretty much feel the same about Fantasmic, too.

yeah. dh and i had always gone with just us but since the next trip will consist of our 2 and 4 year old looks like we'll be staking out and having to watch the parade/fantasmic at least once. for us it's worth it just to do once but i will miss the days of dodging the crowds like a ninja before it gets crazy.

The wait for Monsters Inc. laugh floor always seems like it takes forever.

My kids love to get autographs but the waiting in the lines can be a bit much. Also, space mountain...the line is usually rough just to come out with a headache.

Meals at Cinderella Castle.

There's something magical about eating there, overlooking Fantasyland. But when you consider check-in time, waiting for your picture to be taken, waiting to be called upstairs, waiting for your order to be taken, which is usually pretty quick, and waiting for the Princesses to come by, all I can think of is "I wish I was outside riding something."

Another vote for Ellen...
Too long a wait for 5 mins of Dinos.

[LudwigVonDrake]

Any parade.

That is what I use Ellens energy thing for and COP. A break from the heat!

For me in general I don't do sit down dinners becasue it just takes too long. Usually just one or two a vacation. I can eat at great resturants at home but I only get to be in Disney for a few days and I can't justify taking 2 -3 hours out to eat. Dinner shows are an exception .

Astro Orbitor. Why oh why can't they come up with a better loading process? The elevators are the worst.

I finally just buckled down and said "We're doing HS as a morning park. I don't care what anyone else does in the AM, but I'm going there for fastpasses.

DBF gave the impression that he doesn't want to do it again until we have kids (mostly because of the line), but I'd do a fastpass-focused morning again.

Peter Pan
Toy story mania
Kali river rapids
The lines are always wayyyyy too long!

Sleeping!

Parades. We only do them like every other time because I can't stand waiting in the "perfect" spot. But we also have little kids and it makes it that much harder. By the time the parade starts, they are dying to run around.

[TheVBs]

I agree with a lot of these, but we still do them occasionally. Getting to a meal at another resort is a huge time commitment and we usually only do it for a dinner show. When we have reservations for a dinner show, we usually make that a water park day, leave the park at 2-3pm, then dedicate the afternoon/evening to getting ready, getting there and enjoying the event.

I think our girls are now at the point where they're weighing the length of a line with their desire to meet the character. I love the meet and greets, but it can take a long time to do even a handful!

I'd have to say the staking out of land before a parade.....you can't just have a spot saved, let the kids go get a drink or popcorn, else someone comes in and takes their spot !!

Most queues at the end of the day. I admit I am overweight and after a day of walking and standing in lines my feet hurt and standing in queues at the end of the day my feet just really don't want me standing anymore but my mind does.
