This guide will tell you how you can navigate Disney World to minimize crowd clogs, maximize park coverage, and save money on essential needs.
Disney World Crowd Control
One of the best methods for getting the most out of the Disney parks is taking advantage of the time of day. Early mornings when the park is about to open and late evening when the park is about to close are the optimal times to visit the parks more popular attractions. Roller Coaster rides such as Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad quickly gather long lines and the people capacity for the operation of the ride is low. By heading straight for attractions like these before the park fills up with people, or when they are leaving for the day; you will minimize the line clog and have more time to enjoy the rest of the park. In the middle of the day, when the crowds are at their peak, you can focus on attractions such as theaters and rides with a large people capacity like the Haunted Mansion. The line waiting will be minimal.
Another way to beat the lines is the Fastpass system. Some of the more popular attractions will have a kiosk at the front of it that lists the time to come back to it for early boarding. Simply slide your admission ticket or resort key into the slot on the kiosk and it will issue you a return ticket with a one hour window to come back to the attraction. After acquiring this ticket, you can visit the rest of the park with the assurance that when you come back, your line waiting will be minimal. The best time to take advantage of this system is in the middle of the day when the crowds have hit their peak.
