Best WDW Attractions for Killing Time

[DisneyJunkie]

What would you say are some of the best attractions (rides included) for killing time until your Fastpass can be used? Sometimes we get ourselves in a certain park or area of a park well before our time. If/when that happens, what attractions are a good way to kill time as opposed to sitting on a bench twiddling your thumbs?

I'd say: Living With the Land, TTA Peoplemover, WDW Railroad, train to/from Conservation Station, Journey Into Your Imagination (since there's NEVER a line)

I never view an attraction as "killing time" while at WDW. The rides you mentioned are good, relaxing rides with generally no wait. I know what you mean, but these are some of my favorite attractions at the park.

Some of my favorites are:

• TTA
• Carousel of Progress
• The Hall of Presidents
• The American Adventure
• The Country Bear Jamboree
• Living With the Land
• Imagination
• Tiki Room

We use the people mover all time to wait for our fastpass when we are in tomorrowland.

Well, there are always the many galleries and displays, particularly in Epcot. The Maharajah and Pangani trails in Animal Kingdom are also great.

People mover is my top. I can picture it now, sitting at my desk on a Monday...Imagining sitting back, feet up, looking around the metal palm trees of tomorrowland, seeing CoP rotating, hearing the laughter, the funny "Paging mr morrow...." lines, Buzz Lightyear talking about his galactic adventure, Mickey laughing about star traders......so darn relaxing! And I am reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllly wanting to be there instead of this desk now!! ugh!

I'm with you on everything you said! TTA is our "go to" when tired or need to "occupy our time" before dinner or a FP. Or when it's really hot and we just want to sit for 10 min. Love TTA!

Sometimes a nice bench in the shade and people watching does it for me.

Nobody's mentioned the biggest time-killer of all time yet? Universe of Energy!

 

[Stpdfw]

Spaceship Earth if not a long line...I love this. It's beautiful and relaxing and I feel refreshed and happy after.

 

[Dj Corona]

Grab a bag of popcorn, and people watch from the train station overlooking Main Street is always a good option.

I second the River Boat (when it's running..) and add my vote for People Mover.

Grab a spot in the shade with a Dole Whip Float or Mickey Ice Cream sandwich..

What about a lap around the Lagoon on the monorail?

 

[Weather_Lady]

Here are our go-tos:

MK:
Waiting in Adventureland for POTC/JC/Splash: Enchanted Tiki Room, Swiss Family Treehouse
Waiting in Frontierland or Liberty Square for BTMRR/HM: Bear Jamboree, Hall of Presidents, Liberty Belle
Waiting in Fantasyland for ETWB/Peter/7DMT: small world/Philharmagic/Carrousel/Mad Tea Party
Waiting in Tomorrowland for Space Mtn. or Buzz: Carousel of Progress, Peoplemover

Epcot:
Waiting for Soarin': Living with the Land, snack at Sunshine Seasons
Waiting for Test Track: Mission:Space, Club Cool or Innoventions

HS:
When waiting for TSMM: One Man's Dream
When waiting for anything else: There are few "quick" walk-on type attractions in HS, so if there's a lull, we take a drink/snack break at nearest kiosk, browse a gift shop, or just sit on a bench and people-watch.

Animal Kingdom:
We get there at rope drop with no FP+ but a good touring plan, and have virtually no wait for anything.

Not to mention the ramp going up is a great way to stretch out your calves! I always lean as far forward and get a good stretch going on the ride up.

Most of what I do has already been listed:

People Watching is great
The TTA is always great especially at dusk or at night
Carousel of Progress is a great place to cool down, relax, and kill time while watching a classic show
Walt Disney's One Mans Dream but it seems to have gotten a lot smaller from what I remember
Club Cool
Innoventions
The American Adventure is one I push hard for EVERYONE to see. It's a great show and fills you with American Pride
And The River Boat-like the TTA is great right around Dusk as well

People mover, MK railroad & of course, ITS A GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW!!!!! Carousel of Progress!

 

[zeebs758]

Mickey's Philharmagic! One of my favorite attractions in Disney and there is never a line for it.
