Line Queues - best, favorite, worst....

Do you have a favorite line queue? Or any that you really don't like (not that line queues are all that fun, but if you had to be stuck in one, which would it be and which would you avoid if you didn't have a FP?)

My top 5 favorites:

5. Rock n Roller Coaster (for the Aerosmith greet)
4. Peter Pan (indoors and love the interactions)
3. Journey of the Little Mermaid (indoors and the crab makes me laugh)
2. Expedition Everest (Yetis!!!)
1. Flight of Passage (indoors and visually stunning)

I don't get the need for the new (to me at least) Indiana Jones queue. You used to able to just walk into the place, but when we went last month the queue was some silly zig zag line.

I'm not sure that I have a favorite queue, but I can tell you that I do have a least favorite queue.

I absolutely abhor the Soarin' queue. As someone who is usually in an EVC the first part of the queue where it is just a mass of people all crushed together is the absolute worst. People look right over the top of me and don't even register that I exist at all. If I leave even the smallest bit of space between me and people in front of my (you know, so I don't hit them wit the wheelchair) folks looking to edge ahead in line always slip in. I swear that it takes me twice as long as someone on foot to go through that first part of the queue. I'm always terrified that I'm going to run over a human. People are *so* inconsiderate. Absolute nightmare. Love the ride... hate hate hate the queue.

Ok, that's pretty horrible, Kristen! Uhg.

For what it's worth, thank you for being considerate about not running over others. There are many who are far less considerate. mickey

You are welcome. But trust me, I have entertained more than a thought or two about just mowing folks over. I will say in defense of people who have possibly hit you, there is absolutely a learning curve to driving an ECV and different models/units have different quirks. I had one on a trip that would keep going for about two seconds after I released the "gas." I ran into all sorts of things on that trip, but no people.

We had the exact same issue with my mom's ECV in the Soarin' line. I'm actually really glad my mom decided to use the ECV on our trip for many reasons, but selfishly it gave me a whole new perspective and an appreciation for just how hard it is to navigate Disney in those and I'm always a lot more protective now over making sure people get space to move through crowds, etc.

Peter Pan is probably my favorite queue but I never get to see it because I'm never willing to wait in a 40 - 75 min line for that attraction so we always FastPass it. Least favorite is Jungle Cruise or Kali River Rapids because it's always so freaking hot in those lines and I run out of stuff to look at quickly.
