Top 14+ Disney World rides that aren't actually worth waiting in a long line for, according to visitors
2. Peter Pan's Flight
Peter Pan's Flight is one of Disney's original dark rides: It was there on Disneyland's opening day in 1955, and just two days after Walt Disney World's opening ceremony 16 years later. However, for some reason, it always seems to have a much longer wait time than any of its Fantasyland counterparts. (It has an average queue period of 58 minutes, while Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh clock in at 20 and 30 minutes, respectively.)
Many visitors consider Peter Pan's Flight the superior dark ride, partially because of the way that it allows riders to fly over the London skyline at night, but how much better is it? Is it worth standing in line for twice or three times as long? A lot of Disney bloggers would say no. Although they acknowledge the merits of the attraction, this one turns up on several lists of rides that aren't worth the wait, especially if there's a long line — and Peter Pan's Flight almost always has an extensive queue.
6. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Put this one in the same category as Slinky Dog Dash. It's an immensely popular beginner rollercoaster, and to its credit, it's a very fun ride, but those lines can be killer. Out of all the attractions in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train has the longest average wait, coming in at a nigh unbearable 78 minutes. Although it's widely considered one of the best attractions at Disney World, some Disney bloggers think it's just not worth how long it takes to actually get on the ride.
This is one of the few options that isn't covered by Disney's Multi Pass, so guests have to shell out more money if they want a reprieve from queuing. It's not a very long ride (only around three minutes), and some Disney enthusiasts found themselves scratching their heads at the attraction's attempt to blend a rollercoaster with the traditional dark rides that populate much of Fantasyland. For a similar experience with a much shorter line, Theme Park Insider suggests taking a trip on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad instead.
14. Prince Charming Regal Carrousel
Prince Charming Regal Carrousel is exactly what it says on the tin: A carousel. A pretty carousel, sure, but the same sort of ride you could see at any park across the country. No one's denying its charms (and the fact that it was originally built in 1917 before being transported to Disney World adds to its fairy tale atmosphere), but the argument made by many Disney bloggers is that visitors should prioritize the rides that are unique to the parks — after all, how often are you in Magic Kingdom?
"Every time I walk past it and see people waiting to get on, I wonder why they felt the need to ride a Carrousel when they can do so at a local fair back home," explains Frank Olito for Business Insider. The one thing Prince Charming Regal Carrousel has in its favor is that its lines rarely get too long — its average wait time is only around 10 minutes.
