Best Short-Line Rides?

What are the best rides that usually don't have a long wait in your opinion?

You hit the first three that popped into my mind. The ride in Mexico is always kind of fun for no wait, but definitely not in the class of those three.

Last few times I've gone the line at Maelstrom has been pretty long.

I think more and more people are starting to realize there is a ride in there. I remember the first time my Dad and I found it. We kept wondering why we saw a canoe shaped boat coming out, and searched for the entrance. We got on the ride not knowing what it really was... lol

But when we go... I think the longest we have ever waited for it was 5 minutes.

Tomorrowland Transportation Authority!!

I was soooo sad when they closed the Peoplemover at Disneyland so I always make sure to go on it at WDW!

I know it has a fastpass, but I've never waited longer than about 10 minutes for Philharmagic (without a FP!) - and I've only ever been in summer!

Thank is what I thought of too! It is great - you just watch for timing and can get right in!

TTA and Philharmagic are both great suggestions!

Peoplemover and Spaceship Earth. I often find long lines at Maelstrom, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates.

COP and Snow White! Yeah I know no one likes it but to me Snow White is what Disney is supposed to be all about attractions everyone can go and enjoy at the same time.

And Mexico! I am always ready for that wonderful, cool, darkness, with the smell of Mexican food gently drifting over me as I pass the volcano! Hmmm...wish I was there right now mickey

it's a small world! I've never seen it over 15minutes. Usually it's 5 min or less.

Last time Caitie and I went we waited for about 20 minutes for Maelstrom! It's weird the rides that get long lines -- Peter Pan, anyone? What is UP with the lines for that???

In answer to the question - I've never done anything short of walking on Spaceship Earth (if the line is long, wait till later and it will go away) or Philharmagic.

Same here, while I've never seen more than 10 people waiting in line for the Mexico one...

One day they should replace the Mexico ride with an awesome thrill-ride and not tell anyone. See how long it takes for word to get around.

I know it's one of the weird things about me, but I love the SMELL of Rio del Tiempo.
That whole ride is such a nice break from the walking walking walking heat heat walking we usually experience since we go in the summer!

No - I quite agree! So relaxing...if those little seats weren't so hard, I believe I could go to sleep. HEY! Maybe that's why the seats are uncomfortable! Would explain Spaceship Earth's hard seats, too! Smile

That's a really good point. It would be EASY to fall asleep if the seats were comfortable!

We love Nemo, and the theming for the line is so great - especially the bit where you finally make it "under water"!

Remind me, Robin - do you have a trip planned? I know you had a big one recently with the whole fam - loved all of your pics!

We've waited for Great Movie Ride - though usually we just skip it if the line is too long. We've never waited very long for Nemo.

Ack, I need to go when you go.

Every time we've done either one of those rides that lines have been out of the door, down the lane past grandma's house.
