Disney World 2022 Planning- Part 13

Happy 12th Bloggiversary to me! 

To celebrate, a cut and paste post that required only formatting editing. Woo!

February 26, 2022
P minus 157
The family did their wait time reviews.
The ranking system used was
 
5-Rope drop , wait as long as needed
4- Will wait an hour or a bit more      
3- Will wait 30-45 minutes     
2- Will wait 15-20 minutes     
1- Will walk on if no line- 10 min       
0- Could not be dragged onto this
 
There were of course, instructional notes I should have printed on the page:
Note 1- the first column answer means rope drop run to it and/ or wait as long as needed.
Note 2-use “will walk on if no line” column for “I don’t give a rat’s patoot about this but will go on if others do.”
Note 3- by all that is holy, please put the x’s in the freakin boxes!!! Making that level of minor decision will not injure you. I’m looking at you Grandma. 👀
 
Naturally, the whole thing was an excuse for me to make jokes.

Where	Disney Thing	Description
Magic Kingdom	Birthday Mickey	Mickey in an ugly suit (I almost said "birthday suit" that’s a whole other type of park)
Magic Kingdom	Jungle Cruise	Fun, pun and animatronic filled boat ride, long lines- boat throughput
Magic Kingdom	Peter Pan	LOONG Interactive line and a classic, if short trip to Neverland
Magic Kingdom	Winnie the Pooh	Mid generation Dark ride, line can build up a bit.
Magic Kingdom	Seven Dwarves Mine Train	Medium speed coaster with pretty middle, "top tier" in park-big waits
Magic Kingdom	Meet Cinderella and Elena of Avalor	One of several Cinderella meets. Only Elena meet, sometimes Elena replaced
Magic Kingdom	Meet Rapunzel and Tiana	Only Tiana and Rapunzel meet sometimes Rapunzel replaced.
Magic Kingdom	Mad Tea Party	Fits a boat load of guests and less exciting than other rides, short lines
Magic Kingdom	Prince Charming's Carrousel	See Mad Tea Party, but with less vomiting.
Magic Kingdom	Tales With Belle	I think this is closed, how sad.
Magic Kingdom	Pirates of the Caribbean	Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me…oh sorry.
Magic Kingdom	Ariel's Grotto	I think this is also closed how very sad.
Magic Kingdom	Ariel's ride	Newer dark ride has decent throughput, lines manageable
Magic Kingdom	Fillmore's Magic	HUGE THEATER, no lines ever, Why am I asking.
Magic Kingdom	The Barnstormer	Small coaster, good for burning off excess kid energy at end of night
Magic Kingdom	Splash Mountain	20 minutes of animatronic singing and a drop o soggy death.  Line is completely random
Magic Kingdom	Buzz Lightyear Spin	Maintains a steady, but not crazy line. Ptchoo ptchoo!
Magic Kingdom	Dumbo	It's Dumbo you fool.  Lines mitigated by double ride
Magic Kingdom	Carousel of Progress	It's a great big beautiful tomorrow!!!  Never a line
Magic Kingdom	Hall of Presidents	Big theater, no one cares. Scheduled shows but no lines. Time for a nap.
Magic Kingdom	People Mover	Fun but not too fast trip through Tomorrowland, lines usually short unless it breaks
Magic Kingdom	Tom Sawyer's Island	No lines, good place to hide from crowds a bit
Magic Kingdom	Tomorrowland Speedway	Long lines, smelly small cars. Check the last box & get on with your life.
Magic Kingdom	Riverboat	I don't know if these are running, have to wait for next one but no line.
Magic Kingdom	Monster's Inc Laugh Floor	Wonderfully stupid jokes, big room keeps the line down.
Magic Kingdom	Flying carpets	Like Dumbo but more boring, and somehow much hotter
Magic Kingdom	Astro Orbiter	Like Dumbo but scary high with AWFUL throughput
Magic Kingdom	Haunted Mansion	Of course we're going on this. Have to pick the right time (actually multiple times) of day for line control
Magic Kingdom	Small World	See haunted mansion- applied to Pirates too, sorry got excited back there
Magic Kingdom	Buzz Lightyear himself	Socially distanced on stage
Magic Kingdom	Stitch	I think he loiters around Tomorrowland
Magic Kingdom	Captain Jack Sparrow	I think he loiters around Adventureland
Magic Kingdom	Chip and Dale	I think they loiter around Frontierland (ask Rosa, she has a psychic link)
Magic Kingdom	Anastasia and Drizella	I think they loiter around Fantasyland
Magic Kingdom	Tiki Room	Big room and no one cares about it but us. Short waits
Magic Kingdom	Country Bear Jamboree	See Tiki Room
Magic Kingdom	Swiss Family Treehouse	Seriously? There's never a line, have fun Kim.
Magic Kingdom	Space Mountain	May have a shot early and late, line really builds up because it’s a coaster and its old. (like me…not the coaster part)
Magic Kingdom	Big Thunder Mountain	Line sometimes has lulls, fits more than space mountain and less people care, even though I think its better, so there.
Magic Kingdom	Festival of Fantasy parade	Of course we're going to see the parade, and the character cavalcades we happen to catch, and the Castle show, why are you wasting my time?
EPCOT	Soarin Around the World	Line actually manageable sometimes, they expanded seating.
EPCOT	Listen to the Land	Land Boat ride…where we sing. Lines depend on Soarin spillover
EPCOT	Journey to Imagination	FIGMENT!  Lines usually short, People are dumb in Future World, or whatever its called now.
EPCOT	Gran Fiesta Tour-	Three Caballeros!  Lines usually short,People are dumb in World Showcase.
EPCOT	Spaceship Earth	The Big Ball was saved, woo!
EPCOT	Mission Space	The not "you may die on this" line never is long
EPCOT	Living Seas	FISH yay!  Rarely a wait
EPCOT	Turtle Talk	Meeting show with Crush also rarely much wait.
EPCOT	Frozen Ride	Backward in a boat with Let it Go added, still has a hefty line
EPCOT	American Adventure	HUGE THEATER, no lines ever, premier EPCOT Death March nap spot.

EPCOT	Donald in Mexico	This one I knew.
EPCOT	China Movie	See Canada Movie
EPCOT	Canada Movie	See China Movie
EPCOT	Beauty and Beast Sing along	In big France Theater hosted by Lefou. Danger of accidentally seeing boring France movie which it alternates with.
EPCOT	Remy's Ratatouille Adventure	Long lines, new ride. High tech trackless dark ride. If we come in after breakfast right next to it, may help, as will rope dropping to it 1st day
EPCOT	Character Spot	In Imagination, Joy &Vanellope, separate lines. Not the character spot, is it?
MGM	Toy Story Mania	Three tracks now, still has bigish lines. Drop at end of day sometimes
MGM	Muppet Vision 3D	MUPPETS!  Lines usually short, because its huge and people are dumb in MGM too
MGM	Rock n Roller Coaster	Remarkably smooth looping corkscrews.  Nowhere near as good as I remembered the first time. Long lines because it breaks a lot.
MGM	Disney Jr Play and Dance	For the love of God, please don't make me sit through this.
MGM	Star Tours	I think they added more footage of the new films since we went…or maybe not. I’m very helpful.
MGM	Indiana Jones	Stadium huge enough that you can pick a time and show up.
MGM	Beauty and Beast live on stage	See Indiana Jones…but less Nazis
MGM	Frozen sing along	See Indiana Jones…but less Nazis, and more snow.
MGM	Fantastmic!	It may come back, it may not. None of us care, why is this line here?
MGM	Lightning McQueen Racing thing	Full size animatronic and big screens. Short lines, fun when not on fire.
MGM	Millennium Falcon	Fly the Falcon! Long lines but much of it, IN THE FALCON!
MGM	Rise of Resistance	Insane Star Wars Thing! We'll have to pay to ride. Otherwise we will grow old and die on line
MGM	Star Wars Characters	They wander around StarWarsLand instead of having spots. I may be openly weeping when we get there, so point them out to me please.
MGM	Mickey Runaway Railway Adventure	New Trackless dark ride, big lines. Supposedly fantastic but I'm still bitter about Great Movie Ride, so there.
MGM	Meet OLAF	He doesn't like Warm Hugs anymore.  Awww.
MGM	Sorcerer Mickey & Starlet Minnie	Best outfits for the Mice, line wildly unpredictable
MGM	Terror o' Tower	Lines vary depending on how many of the ride elevators they can get working. This should probably worry me.
MGM	Doc McStuffins, Fancy Nancy, Vampirina	I thought no one in our family cared about these anymore, boy was I wrong! Pluto is with them for reasons I cannot fathom.
MGM	Alien Saucer thing	Teacups driven by aliens- does anyone read these, or am I wasting effort?
MGM	Slinky Dog Coaster	“Family coaster” like barnstormer or Sesame Place Grover one, but much slower, still hideous lines
Animal Kingdom	Festival of the Lion King	Big stadium. They don't list wait times, we've only seen it fill up a couple times
Animal Kingdom	Mickey and Minnie at Outpost	I think this is gone. That room was tiny.
Animal Kingdom	Kilimanjaro Safari	This line still builds up. Animals yay! I'd like to see this in the dark someday, but may have to visit in the winter for that
Animal Kingdom	Primeval Whirl	This is now a pile of rubble. How sad.
Animal Kingdom	Expedition Everest	Yeti mountain backwards coaster. Line varies all over the place.
Animal Kingdom	Kevin	That giant bird from UP. Don't worry about waiting, I’m sure he'll pop up and scare me.
Animal Kingdom	Winged Encounters	"Boids…lousy stinking boids."
Animal Kingdom	Tough to be a Bug	Terrifying 3D film with effects, huge theater no line.
Animal Kingdom	Avatar Flight of Passage	Still enormous lines. Even first thing. Was cool but not everyone liked it. Your worth mileage may vary (hence the rating scale)
Animal Kingdom	Avatar Na'vi River Journey	Animatronic pretty but short Avatar slow river ride, lines not as crazy as its neighbor but still gets spill over.
Animal Kingdom	Triceratops Spin	Like Dumbo with better throughput (bigger vehicles) but more boring
Animal Kingdom	Walk through safari	No lines, shut up, we're going.
Animal Kingdom	Kali River Rapids	Wet and kind of boring. Lines have been short lately, but it's winter.
Animal Kingdom	Flotillas	Characters come by on boats! There's no line, I just thought that was cool!
Animal Kingdom	Dinosaur	Bumpy jeep with poppy uppy dinosaurs- woot!
ALL	Nighttime Projection Shows	There's one in every park (all but AK have fireworks) do we care?

Amazingly everyone did keep their marks in the boxes. Granted there were many comments in the margins, and random “if-then” conditions…which I will ignore because I have no idea how to incorporate them.
