What do you do to pass ride wait times?

[Pumbas Nakasak]

Talk in a loud voice so everyone around knows how important and what an encyclopaedic knowledge of Disney and things in general they are in the prescence of.

Oh wait a minute what do I do, sorry I thought you were talking about the people I tend to find myself near in Qs

We play a 20 questions type game called, "I've got a place" which is a place in WDW. Depending on who is playing it can be very cutthroat eg. "belgian blocks" in Test Track.

I don't wait longer than 30 minutes. Grab a fastpass, go on to another ride and return. Or grab a dole whip and people watch while you wait - that can be fun too!:lol:

I usually play with my cell phone and text message my friends back home (or sometimes call). Test Track is the worst queue in my opinion, even on the fastpass line. I also talk to my parents and sometimes other people waiting if they're friendly. I also peoplewatch and subsequently end up making fun of said people.

All i do is stand and wait and talk to the person i am with.

 

[bandtrumpet]

i normally use fastpass but when i dont i love to look at all the details in the que, people watch, or just talk.

When I was a kid, some of my best memories with my family were just waiting in line talking about what all we'd seen and what all we planned to see. I was always so excited and everything we'd seen and were going to see was so amazing. I was in sensory overload all the time when I was a kid. Sometimes I wish I could get that feeling back now as an adult, but no matter how hard I try my stupid adult cynicism comes through.

Back to what I do now, I talk with my wife and she normally complains about how she hates waiting in line and can't we go shop somewhere after this. lol

Or I watch all the people around us

Or talk with the people around us.

Or how about this...Every time an announcement comes on the speakers, start shouting "THOSE VOICES AGAIN!! WHY ARE THERE VOICES!!" Then just enjoy everyone's reaction until the next one. This works espically well on Jungle Cruise, Stitch, and Star Tours, but of coarse, as long as the CM makes an announcement, it will work!

Do what we do and go in September.....and then you dont have to wait in line! (Well most of the time)!!!!!!

My friends and I always took the time waiting for a ride to discuss plans for the rest of the day whether it was which ride to go on next or which park to hop to. We also use the few minutes to call the Dining line and make dinner reservations!

I think it's really easy to get spoiled about waiting in lines when you've worked at the World or even if you just visit in the off-season. Once you move away like me, it's hard to get out of the mentality that there's no reason to wait in line because the ride's going be there the next time you visit, since those visits are getting farther in between!

I usually talk to whoever is in my group, and sometimes the people around me in the queue. After that, I too will start text messaging and calling friends (usually at home, but once in the attraction right next to the one I was at), or peoplewatching.

I think the Test Track is one of the better queues. There are so many props and displays to look at. It could be worse (like Turtle Talk).

 

[Firewolfe51]

Scope out all the "strange" people and wonder "what were they or are they thinking"! And wonder to myself "do they think we are strange?" Of course while fanning with a park map c/o how hot it is!!

 

[whizGoofy]

Passing time:

1. make fun of people
2. talk to the family
3. mingle with other guests
4. eaves drop (sp?)
5. make up characters and act like we are other people/try get others to eaves drop
6. enjoy the queue's theme

I thought my friends & I were the only ones that did #1,4, & 5. Wow, maybe I should watch out for others like us!

We also like to pretend we're other people...sometimes we're super rich...sometimes we're super poor...sometimes we're super British...although we don't do that a lot anymore because as much as we'd like to believe otherwise, our accents suck, and when you find yourself standing next to an actual British family, it can be a tad bit embaressing...

One of the disadvantages of loving a school teacher with a strong work ethic is you can't just up and go to WDW during the off-peak seasons.

I usually just say stupid things to keep myself amused, as well as my fiancee and anyone else around who might like to be distracted. I once tried being a stand-up comic. I wasn't a "getting paid" kind of funny guy, but with very little effort I can be a "eh, he's better than standing around being bored doing nothing" kind of funny guy.

For some reason, I took to seeing every animal I saw "Ned" whether it was tigers or giraffes at the Animal Kingdom, or pigeons at the MK. "Know what his name is? Ned." Real matter-of-fact. I don't know why it's funny. But it is. I highly recommend it.

 

[THECARISMINE]

I like to talk to people and if i got somehing to play with then thats cool and making fun of people is the best why to pass time

 

[Nemo14]

I flirt with hot ladies. :lookaroun

So that was you.....!

 

[erasure fan1]

I use my phone to take pictures and video of the ride and stuff and send it to my sister and people I know who are jealous we are in Disney.
We also like to plan whats going on for the rest of the day and the next.
