Guide to Walt Disney World Attraction Queues
Here are some charts with all of the Attractions in all four parks across Walt Disney World. Each chart covers all of the Attractions in each particular land of the park. Listed on the charts are useful information like whether it offers express queuing, if the queue is inside or outside and how well themed it is, and the average wait time. Use this chart along with our Guide to Enjoying Walt Disney World and Guide to Attractions to determine what Attractions you or your family would like the most, which ones to try to get Genie+ or Lightning Lane for, which ones are worth the standby wait, and if you’re short on time, which ones may be all right to pass up.
Just a few things to consider as you look over these charts:
- In 2021, Disney introduced Genie+ and Lightning Lane for select attractions. Genie+ is a pay-per-day ticket upgrade that allows you to choose from several attractions that allow Lightning Lane express queuing similar to the now extinct FastPass system. Individual Lightning Lane is an additional premium upgrade for the parks’ most popular attractions, and is not included with Genie+. (For thoughts and opinions on Genie+ and Lightning Lane, click here.)
Availability will be represented by:- π§ββοΈ = Genie+ Lightning Lane
- β‘οΈ = Individual Lightning Lane.
- Although some Attractions are listed as having an “Inside” queue area, every queue has the option of extending outside of the regular queue area if attendance requires.
- All “Inside” queue areas are climate controlled.
- A few notes on Theming:
- Zero Stars (⦻) = No theming to speak of. This is just a line.
- One Star (β ) = Theming is minimal and is limited to music and/or simple scenery.
- Two Stars (β β ) = Theming can include music, simple scenery, a place to sit (in the case of shows), something to read/watch, and/or a pre-show.
- Three Stars (β β β ) = Theming can include music, immersive scenery, a place to sit (in the case of shows), lots to read/watch, interactive elements, and/or a pre-show.
- Four Stars (β β β β ) = Theming can include music, immersive scenery, lots of interactive elements (may require Walt Disney World mobile app), and/or a pre-show.
- Average wait times are relative. Obviously, actual wait times will vary depending on attendance, and attendance depends mostly on what time of year it is. What would be considered a long wait time during the off season could be considered a short wait time during the Holiday seasons. Wait times can also vary quite a bit throughout a single day. The average wait times are just that: averages. Use them to help you judge, but take them with a grain of salt. When in doubt, check the park’s Information Board, the Walt Disney World app, or ask a Cast Member for actual wait times.
- Self guided tours and walk-through Attractions have not been included.
