Don't forget to smash that like button if you enjoyed the video! And GOOD NEWS TPMcrew! We all pushed through the trouble TH-cam gave us back in 2017 and with you all continuing to support us the #TPMcrew is stronger than ever and the videos that disappeared off TH-cam back in November are slowly starting to show back up in search results and recommended. So keep your eyes peeled for those as well!
TPM, could you do a Top 10 Character and Cast Member Secrects? The reasoning is that characters have hand signals that only cast members can read. For example, if a character is distressed and needs to step backstage, the signal is to cover an eye. A little idea I had.
Also a way to skip a longer wait line on Big Thunder Mountain or others is... when the line splits in two always go to the left because most people are right handed and going right is a habit! I’m so excited to go this fall!!! Thanks TPMvids 🐵
This is something I will definitely watch again if I ever get the chance to go to Disney World! And actually some of these tips and tricks apply to Disneyland too I know from experience. Great video and I unquestionably hit that like button!
This is an excellent list! Especially arriving early, I think most people underestimate than an extra 15 minutes of sleep can easy lead to an extra 30 minutes in a line. But I was actually completely unaware of mobile food ordering, so thank you!
Great tips for newcomers, although I already implemented all these on my trip this week. I managed 3 rides on Toy Story, 3 rides on Soarin, 3 rides on Flight of Passage, 2 on Frozen, 2 on Navi River Journey, and 3 on 7 dwarfs and never waited longer than 40 minutes for any of them! It was awesome!!
At the Halloweenparty there are 2 parades. An early one and a late one. Not sure if attendance rates really make a big difference but if you are at the party, choose one parade to do the SDMT or other rides that generally have long waitingtimes. I waited about 20 minutes for the SDMT and when I got out the line was already way outside😏
Random Fandoms When it says 5 it's a literal walk-on. Apart from a KaliRiver Rapids that broke down 20 minutes or so earlier and you happily hippity hop to the fro....wtf..... just fastpass-people for 25 minutes before they let the standby go again. It's fair enough to the fp-keepers, I understand that. But it is so frustrating when you literally stand at the turnstile/rope (unsure today which one they have at Kali River?) You just stand there: 😬😬😬😩😩😬😬😬😩😩😬😀
As a former cast member, I always tell guests this fun fastpass+ trick: If you aren’t a DVC Member, always sign up for an afternoon DVC tour on your Magic Kingdom day. Use fastpasses before 3, and then do the DVC tour. For doing the tour (no obligation to opt into DVC) you will get three extra fastpasses to use that day! They will also personally transport you to AND from the DVC tour house!
Ninety Cats ~DVC~ stands for Disney Vacation Club. It is like a timeshare. When u buy a DVC membership you can stay at one of the many hotel rooms or villas that DVC owns on property.
A co worker of mine just got back from Disneyworld. They took the Disney vacation club tour. It was 90 min. And they received a gift card to spend anywhere at Disney valued of $100. Plus I'm not sure why you would want 3 free fast passes for that day. After you use your original fast passes for the day you can get another and so on.
This was great! I agree with all of these tips and tricks and use them all! That’s how my family and I are able to wait no more than 40mins per ride, even during spring break! A tip I have is to schedule fastpasses for around 4ish onward. It’s always worked for us and you get to experience the rides at dusk, and it’s really cool! Love the channel, keep up the great work.
#10 Helped me and my sister go on Tower of Terror and Rockin' Roller coaster twice last time we went. Same also goes for our trip to Magic Kingdom since we hit Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain as the Fireworks happened. Great video, I'll have to keep these in mind when I get a chance to go to Disney again!!
I'm going to Disney World in a few days and I've been watching all of these videos to help me and my girlfriend prepare since I know how popular Disney World is. We have been using that app to make reservations, link our bracelets, our room, and have booked fast passes for some of the most popular rides already. We are, however, will be taking advantage of the extra magic hours simply because we will only be there for 3 days and 3 nights. Your videos have been so helpful!
Here's another one from personal experience. If you go in October, during the trick or treating event (you do have to pay extra to stay but I think it's worth it), you can either get a boat-load of candy or ditch that and go on rides. When we did it, we decided to skip the trick or treating and go on some other popular rides i.e. Splash Mountain, etc. The lines were super super short and we got to ride a bunch of rides multiple times basically skipping the wait!
Agreed! We did that October just gone on Haloween night no less. Less than 20 minutes per ride and you still had time to hit the trick or treat spots for a boat load of sweets. You don't even have to go when the parade is on because you can fit all of it in. Worth the extra money as the FastPass lines are not used during these events. So no Fastpasses can be used after 4pm
Yes! So true! The only one I would say is not always the case, is arriving early. It can actually backfire. A lot of people have the same concept and you'll think you're getting on a ride in 5 mins but by the time everyone piles in and the wait time updates, it ends up being as much as 50 to 65 mins. I've had it happen to me many times! Another tip is to wait until the park is almost closed. The wait times don't update after a certain point and you can get on faster than you think. Seven Dwarfs had a wait time once for 90 mins and we got on in 25 mins. 👍🏼 A cast member once told me to visit when the parks close around 7:00pm (usually on special event nights). Most one day park ticket holders don't want to waste their day on a park that's closing early or they are only attending a special event, so the park crowds are minor and the wait times can be as low as 5 to 15 mins. I've experienced it MANY times!!!! Most of this applies to Magic Kingdom but I've found it true in the other parks as well. 🤗
Hmmm, I will get to see how well the Magic Morning hours hold up. I am going to WDW early September this year and since Galaxy's Edge is opening up they have stated that all Disney Hotels get extra Magic Hours every day starting from like Sept 1st through Nov 30th, I think. Hollywood Studios claims 3 hours before so it opens at 6 am and Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom both claim 2 hours before. I am going to try to take advantage of these in the mornings, but I hope that when you stated to skip the parks on these days, I don't know if I could only go to Epcot every day that I am there and no other parks. ;) Hoppers to me are going to be a saving grace during my trip there soon. :D Thank you for all the videos and tips you do! Great info!!
Update:. The lines honestly weren't too bad. We were able to go to Galaxy's Edge a few times and get on Smuggler's Run within 30 minutes each time. It's a fun ride. Looking forward to the Rise of the Resistance.
I have watched other WDW videos for 2 years trying to get tips and tricks for an upcoming once in a lifetime visit. This was by far the most helpful video I've seen
Honestly your videos are so entertaining I’ve only been to Walt Disney World Once Back In 2016 And I don’t think I’ll go back for a long time since it cost a lot of money But I’ll never stop watching these So thanks! 😎❤️
I’m going with my band in 2019, and I’m so excited!! Thank you for this videos that you post, I’ve never been to any Disney, so I need any help I can get haha thank you so much!!
When I moved to FL, I still lived about 3 hours away, but my family still got an annual pass. We went like every weekend, and I reccomend getting one, they're so worth it.
Wow. I'm heading to Disneyland in about a week. This video could not have been more perfectly timed! Thanks for these tips; I'm definitely gonna keep 'em in mind!
Little Mix & Musicals after you have scanned your third Fastpass, you can start booking for the next one one at a time and so on. On not so busy days, I was able to book 9.
Yes, that's huge. We got super lucky last spring and obtained a reservation at Be Our Guest for breakfast 45 minutes before the park opened. Ate a quick breakfast in the beautiful restaurant, and then rode the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Big Thunder Mountain with no wait whatsoever.
I got onto test track in Epcot after the firework show in 5 minutes. It was also cool seeing this attraction at night. I also got on peter pans flight in 10 minutes just before the magic kingdom fireworks.
One tip you forgot to mention: Go on rainy days! Honestly rainy days are the best days to go to the parks if you're not afraid to get wet. So many people see the rain and then cancel all their plans and just leave the parks. I've seen Space Mountain go from 2 hours to almost an hour in wait because of the amount of people who leave. As for any ride in the outdoor areas: Just be willing to wait. Once the all clear is given, you basically have a free fastpass to the front of the line.
TRUE!! my bday is in november and i always go for my birthday. when i get there its so cold and rainy. most of the ride waits said that it was 5 minutes but it was actually only us in line.
I went to Epcot recently and it rained quite a bit, but I loved it! I’m not as sensitive to rain (not sure if that’s the term) and don’t get really sick so I was able to stay in the park near closing time while lots of people began to leave. If you do wanna go on a rainy day, go near the summer (I went during July), it will be much warmer with less wind. Obviously, don’t go during a thunderstorm, and leave when it gets dangerous. When it rained, the park cooled down so much and made it more comfortable for me who was struggling with the Florida heat and humidity.
That single rider option is a lifesaver. My brother and I love Test Track but we haven’t ridden together since it was renovated. We have never designed a car but it’s worth it for a short wait.
I pretty much agree with the food tip but once I took my family to electric umbrella and ordered mobile and we walked halfway across the park taking ten minuets and we got there waited twenty minutes and I ordered another meal and got it faster. Also my family skipped the fireworks at Hollywood studios and we got to ride the millennium falcon ride in a forty minute wait not four and a half hour wait.
I remember one time in 2008 Me and my brother got to ride Splash Mountian Twice without getting off during the fireworks. It was really cool to see the fireworks from the outdoor parts of the ride.
Don’t get early to go on Flight Of Passage! When I did that back in August, we got there right when it opened, and the wait was 3 hrs cause everyone had the same idea
Abby In Wonderland It’s because they “open” the park an hour earlier than they say and begin to allow people to line up to get to Avatar. I went recently and had early magic hours. We still went an hour before early hours and were waiting with many people for an hour to be let into Pandora
Although it doesn't have a single rider line, going as a single rider for Tower of Terror is EXTREMELY helpful. I've gone on numerous times as a single rider and I've always gotten to skip the indoor lines. This is because the ride fits somewhere around 20 something people, and almost always has an extra seat or two. The cast members will sometimes ask the line if there are any single riders and will let you skip the line, as long as you speak up first! I did this one time and skipped half the line! (This is only during the indoor lines, though, where you start loading into the elevators, but it is still very helpful) On the other hand, I feel like every time I've done single rider for Rock N Roller Coaster, it's actually been LONGER than the standby. This is mainly because each section of the limo fits 4 people, and the people who go on the ride are almost always in groups of 2 or 4, or any even number, really. The only way to get on it as a single rider is to hope that there's a group of 3, so I don't actually recommend doing this. It's a short line at first, but waiting for a spot in a limo takes forever.
heyo! I know this is an old video but I found it on my recommended. I have been on 14 Disney cruises, and more Disney trips than I could count. All these tips are true, but I have one more to add. I went on a trip right when Avatar was opening (two weeks after). I got there early and rode expedition Everest 5 times, with no wait because everyone was on the new rides:)
I went all day when I went in April, but there was also a 12-2AM Magic hour, and we took advantage by doing space and Peter Pan, but we couldn't do Seven Dwarfs a third time because even with magic hour, it was an hour wait -_-
@@yumechan1951 Oof, I got to do Everest 4 times when I went, we just used the single rider line a majority of the time though :P, and at one point, after River of Light, it was posted as a 5 minute wait, the busiest Everest got the day actually was like 40 minutes.
When I went to Disney, I used the ride right before fireworks trick, and it was really useful! At Magic Kingdom I went on Haunted Mansion right before Happily Ever After, and the wait was less than 20 minutes. Also when i was in Hollywood studios me and my mom were able to get Rockin Rollercoaster Fastpasses for right before Fantasmic and finished in time so we still got to see the whole thing!
@TPMvids The only one my family has done, was go on rides during the fireworks but only in Tommorowland in MK. Thank you so much, because we HATE waits, so well definitely consider all of this. Thanks again!
Yo I was at Disney world and I got there and I did flight of passage in the first hour and the wait time was 3 hours but for the rest of the day the wait time was only an hour and a half so get to v there early didn’t do me any good
Disney Travel Agent here! Another tip would be to visit during the off seasons. I always suggest September if you don't have kids. Because school typically starts between late August and early September, during that window of time, there won't be nearly as many people there. It's mostly Florida residents and people either no longer in school or sneaking their kids out from school. The lines are usually slashed by a quarter, even more so if you're there during the week as opposed to a weekend :)
Showing up early is definitely the way to go. My last trip, I showed up an hour before Disney Studios opened, and then an hour before Epcot opened the next day. I was able to get on the best rides quickly, and use the rest of my time to just walk around and relax. There are benefits to being an early riser, hehe.
The wait times in the app are often inaccurate. my best advice is to book fastpasses, but don't be afraid to skip or reschedule them last minute if you find better or encounter rides you like to go on. Use your best judgment on the wait time and hit the shorter lines and leave the long ones for later. Just know for Peter pan, seven dwarves mine train and Frozen ride at Epcot always have 1 hour lines so you'll have to wait on those. For the mountains, those are lowest when the fireworks start. For avatar flight of passage and Rise of the resistance, get there early like 1 hour. 2 hours before opening for Star wars rise of the resistance. May the force be with you
How about doing a video about *line* *cutters* and *line* *jumpers* . I HATE it when one member of the family/group falls in line then when they get near to the ride, the rest of the gang follows saying that they're meeting their family/friends in front. Totally UNFAIR. I had confrontations for that.
gissneric I had too do that once on 7 dwarf mine train I had to go to the bathroom which was a long wait and when I came back people were confronting me and yelling at me
One person needing the bathroom or an adult escorting a kid? Totally cool with me. It’s when you got one person in line and an entire group meeting them is where I got a problem
I think they meant an adult escorting a kid to the bathroom. It's okay if one person or an adult with a child leaves the line to visit the restroom, but if one person waits in line and a whole party joins them just before boarding, that's when people get angry.
Flight of Passage is insane! I got to the park at 7:40 am, the ride opened at 8 (opening) and I still had to wait an hour. Good video and the rest of the tricks worked. Test Track was 5 minutes during the fireworks, I used all my fastpasses before 3 PM (except for Big Thunder because that started at 245 and I got there at 330) and got more after that (I got seven dwarfs mine train because of that), Waited 25 minutes for Peter Pan before the parade, got on many more rides between 12-2 and 5-7 except for my reservation at Tusker House. Overall that helped me for my ambitious Disney Trip.
You would think people know at least some of this stuff but yet there will be people who dont do fast passes, come an hour late, don't stay to the end, dont take advantage of the magic hours, eat lunch at actual lunch time when its an hour wait for lunch, goes to every event, and when a line is to long they leave it expecting it to be better and it only gets worse unless its an event, then they will wait in a 2 hour line for mine train, and people will also do shopping at the worst times. And then these people come home and complain saying they hate disney because they went on like 3 rides. And its not Disney's fault people use zero planning when using 100s of dollars for a theme park. Lol
That's very true, but there was a time when the parks were much easier to conquer. My problem is should you really have to do so much military precision planning for what should be a 'fun' holiday? Some young children and the elderly are clearly very stressed amongst the crowds just trying to get from A to B at times - it's overcrowded. It's why I've fallen out of love with the place.
Using the single rider lines can be well worth it. On our most recent visit the wait time for SR line at Expedition Everest was 5 minutes. This was quicker than even the Fastpass + line.
I always witnessed people complaining about Fastpass in line. They're like why are the castmember letting so much Fastpass than standby and asks for the ratio. What's the point of Fastpass if the wait times are the same as standby. People are such complainers nowadays.
Line cutting is against Disney rules, and believe me, they are coming down harder on it than ever before. You will get kicked out of the line and publicly embarrassed.
I remember one day we rode Expedition Everest at least 6 times the last hour the park was open because the lines were so short. The last few times we just asked to stay on the ride since there were only a few people waiting to get on and they actually let us. It might be different now though since they have that Night Rivers show but you’re absolutely right about night showtimes being the best time to ride rides.
At Animal Kingdom my niece and I went to a Bugs Life 3 times. You sit on benches and they have you go in a row all the way to the end of the bench to sit. At the end they tell you to go to your left and out the side door. The second time we went to the end of the bench and just sat for the next show instead of going out the side door. They were having people come in for the next show and nobody told us to leave. It was a great show so we loved seeing it again. And it's a good thing we were there the 3rd time because it had poured down rain when we did leave.
Me and my family used a well tip from my teacher who used to work at Disney in Magic Kingdom. Check what events will be happening a head of time. For example I’m a cheerleader and we go to Nationals which is very close to Disney. Last year our hotel was the B resort near Disney Springs. So a tip is to see what type of events are going on like Cheer and Marathons. Especially road work which can back up traffic. So if there is road work and you can’t get to a park like Magic Kingdom or Epcot go to the nearest hotel with a monereal. For Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios take the buses if car traffic is to bad. Hope this helped
A tip for the Anaheim location, Disneyland, if you stay in a non Disney hotel such as one of the Mariotts, they’re walking distance from the park so taking the monorail or tram is uneeded if you stay in one of the hotels on the opposite side of the actual Disney Resort hotels
Keep checking for fastpasses! My family and I were walking towards the exit of Animal Kingdom when I saw that an opening for Flight of Passage opened for the same time. We were able to ride before we left the park. Yesterday, I was able to find a fastpass for Mine train in the middle of the day! Always look.
Thank you sooo much! Im going this friday for winter break [by the way im 9] and im watching disney secerets and tricks and all that and this was sooo helpful!!!

what does it mean to rope drop
TPMvids as a Cast Member I can say this is one of the best recommendation videos I have ever seen.
Jake Cruz when the park first opens
TPMvids when will you make epic fail videos again?

I always go left. ( except when the line is moving slower on that side then i'll choose the right.)
Payton Rose I’m A Lefty So This Is Helpful 👌🏻
I hope you had a nice trip!
That is something I *Never* though of!! Thank you!!!
That is what I do when I visit Disney!
This is something I will definitely watch again if I ever get the chance to go to Disney World! And actually some of these tips and tricks apply to Disneyland too I know from experience. Great video and I unquestionably hit that like button!
Most I never would have thought myself....yet they sound so "duh!" at the same time.
I thought the same myself and I've been to a Disney park since I was a kid.
Try going during the off season between Jan.-March. You can find great discounts that will save you hundreds of dollars!
This is an excellent list! Especially arriving early, I think most people underestimate than an extra 15 minutes of sleep can easy lead to an extra 30 minutes in a line. But I was actually completely unaware of mobile food ordering, so thank you!

Waited under an hour at Seven Dwarves Mine Train at 3 pm when the parade started! Listed wait was 120+ minutes! By far the best time to go
I actually arrived in the morning and the wait time was 70 minutes, so I went on it. But it's cool you went on.
At the Halloweenparty there are 2 parades. An early one and a late one.
Not sure if attendance rates really make a big difference but if you are at the party, choose one parade to do the SDMT or other rides that generally have long waitingtimes.
I waited about 20 minutes for the SDMT and when I got out the line was already way outside😏
It was night and it said 60 minutes, MORE LIKE 10 MINUTES LOL. THE LINE WAS QUICK AND SHORT.

PurpledolphyPlays same
Applies for me aswell
I don't go to Disneyland anymore
yo its disneyworld tell em
👍
Years ago, I remember when there was a show right next to Expedition Everest. No one was in the ride line so we went on like 3 times in a row

Didn't know about mobile ordering. Thanks for the great tip!
The single rider lines are a really great way to get past long lines! I used it once and was able to go on a ride over 20 times in less than and hour!
Honestly your videos are so entertaining
I’ve only been to Walt Disney World Once Back In 2016
And I don’t think I’ll go back for a long time since it cost a lot of money
But I’ll never stop watching these
So thanks! 😎❤️
I’m going with my band in 2019, and I’m so excited!! Thank you for this videos that you post, I’ve never been to any Disney, so I need any help I can get haha thank you so much!!
Back Again! Very Useful! Love disney beat.
My family and I LOVE the mobile ordering! We use it in the parks and at Disney Springs. It's fantastic!
Thks definitely be using these when I move to Orlando in the summer!
When I moved to FL, I still lived about 3 hours away, but my family still got an annual pass. We went like every weekend, and I reccomend getting one, they're so worth it.
Thanks TPM! I'm visiting Disney this September with my family and I'm going to recomend this video to them. It's a big help.
I am a bell ringer, i love your channle keep doing what you are doing. And thanks for helping me skip all the lines at disney
Wow. I'm heading to Disneyland in about a week. This video could not have been more perfectly timed! Thanks for these tips; I'm definitely gonna keep 'em in mind!
3:40 you can also go during fireworks. You can somewhat see them on the ride you are on but it depends
My family and I are actually going to Disney World this year, so this list is a lifesaver.
I didn’t know you could use fastpasses after, thanks I’ll use that tip next time.
Little Mix & Musicals after you have scanned your third Fastpass, you can start booking for the next one one at a time and so on. On not so busy days, I was able to book 9.
Same to other type of famous theme parks like Universal. Thanks for the advice! I will try getting the fast pass while not wasting money.
Pre-Park Opening Breakfast is a major tip
Yes, that's huge. We got super lucky last spring and obtained a reservation at Be Our Guest for breakfast 45 minutes before the park opened. Ate a quick breakfast in the beautiful restaurant, and then rode the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Big Thunder Mountain with no wait whatsoever.
I got onto test track in Epcot after the firework show in 5 minutes. It was also cool seeing this attraction at night. I also got on peter pans flight in 10 minutes just before the magic kingdom fireworks.
One tip you forgot to mention: Go on rainy days!
Honestly rainy days are the best days to go to the parks if you're not afraid to get wet. So many people see the rain and then cancel all their plans and just leave the parks. I've seen Space Mountain go from 2 hours to almost an hour in wait because of the amount of people who leave.
As for any ride in the outdoor areas: Just be willing to wait. Once the all clear is given, you basically have a free fastpass to the front of the line.
Rainy days are horrible because stuff gets canceled.
I wouldn’t recommend it doesn’t feel as magical and kinda ruins the expierence
TRUE!! my bday is in november and i always go for my birthday. when i get there its so cold and rainy. most of the ride waits said that it was 5 minutes but it was actually only us in line.
I went to Epcot recently and it rained quite a bit, but I loved it! I’m not as sensitive to rain (not sure if that’s the term) and don’t get really sick so I was able to stay in the park near closing time while lots of people began to leave. If you do wanna go on a rainy day, go near the summer (I went during July), it will be much warmer with less wind. Obviously, don’t go during a thunderstorm, and leave when it gets dangerous. When it rained, the park cooled down so much and made it more comfortable for me who was struggling with the Florida heat and humidity.
i was a hollywood studios and it was pouring
That single rider option is a lifesaver. My brother and I love Test Track but we haven’t ridden together since it was renovated. We have never designed a car but it’s worth it for a short wait.
That didn't work for me and my niece. She was 7 so I had to steer the car.
Wish this had come out before I went in December but I’ll keep this in mind for the futur e
Im going to Disney World in a few weeks and I've been watching a lot of your videos so we can have a close to perfect first trip! Thanks!
I went on the pirates of the Caribbean ride and circled through twice with no line during the fireworks show
I pretty much agree with the food tip but once I took my family to electric umbrella and ordered mobile and we walked halfway across the park taking ten minuets and we got there waited twenty minutes and I ordered another meal and got it faster. Also my family skipped the fireworks at Hollywood studios and we got to ride the millennium falcon ride in a forty minute wait not four and a half hour wait.
Helpful since I'm in Disney right now
Definitely using this video for my long awaited trip to Disney World, thanks!
Been here since around 60k keep it up love the channel!
Thanks for being around for so long!🙌🏼
TPMvids I have been around since 40k
Why do I love this channel so much! I love your tips thank you!
I seriously love these videos they entertain me so much, keep it up love the Disney videos !
I've never commented on a video before but just wanted to show my support ❤
Well thanks for commenting!☺️
@@TPMvids hi Love you channel
I remember one time in 2008 Me and my brother got to ride Splash Mountian Twice without getting off during the fireworks. It was really cool to see the fireworks from the outdoor parts of the ride.
Love this idea! Splash Mountain at night with fireworks...twice! Thx! 😁
Don’t get early to go on Flight Of Passage! When I did that back in August, we got there right when it opened, and the wait was 3 hrs cause everyone had the same idea
Abby In Wonderland It’s because they “open” the park an hour earlier than they say and begin to allow people to line up to get to Avatar. I went recently and had early magic hours. We still went an hour before early hours and were waiting with many people for an hour to be let into Pandora
Go near Park closing instead. This usually works really well
Although it doesn't have a single rider line, going as a single rider for Tower of Terror is EXTREMELY helpful. I've gone on numerous times as a single rider and I've always gotten to skip the indoor lines. This is because the ride fits somewhere around 20 something people, and almost always has an extra seat or two. The cast members will sometimes ask the line if there are any single riders and will let you skip the line, as long as you speak up first! I did this one time and skipped half the line! (This is only during the indoor lines, though, where you start loading into the elevators, but it is still very helpful)
On the other hand, I feel like every time I've done single rider for Rock N Roller Coaster, it's actually been LONGER than the standby. This is mainly because each section of the limo fits 4 people, and the people who go on the ride are almost always in groups of 2 or 4, or any even number, really. The only way to get on it as a single rider is to hope that there's a group of 3, so I don't actually recommend doing this. It's a short line at first, but waiting for a spot in a limo takes forever.
Haha need these for when we move out there!
?
Don't move
Traffic is crazy specially on the I 4.
We are full
heyo! I know this is an old video but I found it on my recommended. I have been on 14 Disney cruises, and more Disney trips than I could count. All these tips are true, but I have one more to add. I went on a trip right when Avatar was opening (two weeks after). I got there early and rode expedition Everest 5 times, with no wait because everyone was on the new rides:)
Thanks for the advice TPM your awesome
Anytime! :)
I’m going to Disney World next week. This is really useful thanks!
I've never been to magic kingdom during the day. We ALWAYS do magic hours and the longest line I've ever waited in was a half hour
My gawd that's nothing try standing in line for expedition Everest which was 180 minutes
I went all day when I went in April, but there was also a 12-2AM Magic hour, and we took advantage by doing space and Peter Pan, but we couldn't do Seven Dwarfs a third time because even with magic hour, it was an hour wait -_-
@@yumechan1951 Oof, I got to do Everest 4 times when I went, we just used the single rider line a majority of the time though :P, and at one point, after River of Light, it was posted as a 5 minute wait, the busiest Everest got the day actually was like 40 minutes.
Good tips! Haven't been back to Disney World since 1999, so this is great info for me!
This is quite useful. Thank you
When I went to Disney, I used the ride right before fireworks trick, and it was really useful! At Magic Kingdom I went on Haunted Mansion right before Happily Ever After, and the wait was less than 20 minutes. Also when i was in Hollywood studios me and my mom were able to get Rockin Rollercoaster Fastpasses for right before Fantasmic and finished in time so we still got to see the whole thing!
Are you able to do this for disneyland too?
@TPMvids The only one my family has done, was go on rides during the fireworks but only in Tommorowland in MK. Thank you so much, because we HATE waits, so well definitely consider all of this. Thanks again!
Yo I was at Disney world and I got there and I did flight of passage in the first hour and the wait time was 3 hours but for the rest of the day the wait time was only an hour and a half so get to v there early didn’t do me any good
Disney Travel Agent here! Another tip would be to visit during the off seasons. I always suggest September if you don't have kids. Because school typically starts between late August and early September, during that window of time, there won't be nearly as many people there. It's mostly Florida residents and people either no longer in school or sneaking their kids out from school. The lines are usually slashed by a quarter, even more so if you're there during the week as opposed to a weekend :)
Do The Same Thing But At Disneyland!
Will definitely use this information on my next trip to disney
0:59 Skip Intro
Zaaaaaaaaa
Showing up early is definitely the way to go. My last trip, I showed up an hour before Disney Studios opened, and then an hour before Epcot opened the next day. I was able to get on the best rides quickly, and use the rest of my time to just walk around and relax. There are benefits to being an early riser, hehe.
I am from California I am hoping I could go to Walt Disney World some day
This is going to helpful because we are going to Disney tomorrow!
Hunter Black hope you had fun!
Shhhhh don't let everyone know Fastpass is free
#TPMCREW
He told me
Lmaooooo
Great tips! I've saved this to rewatch before I plan my fast passes.
I got an ad to skip lines at places on this video XD
The wait times in the app are often inaccurate. my best advice is to book fastpasses, but don't be afraid to skip or reschedule them last minute if you find better or encounter rides you like to go on. Use your best judgment on the wait time and hit the shorter lines and leave the long ones for later. Just know for Peter pan, seven dwarves mine train and Frozen ride at Epcot always have 1 hour lines so you'll have to wait on those. For the mountains, those are lowest when the fireworks start. For avatar flight of passage and Rise of the resistance, get there early like 1 hour. 2 hours before opening for Star wars rise of the resistance. May the force be with you
How about doing a video about *line* *cutters* and *line* *jumpers* . I HATE it when one member of the family/group falls in line then when they get near to the ride, the rest of the gang follows saying that they're meeting their family/friends in front. Totally UNFAIR. I had confrontations for that.
gissneric You can actually alert a cast member and they will kindly escort them out of the line. This is a Disney "No-no" if you're caught.
gissneric I had too do that once on 7 dwarf mine train I had to go to the bathroom which was a long wait and when I came back people were confronting me and yelling at me
One person needing the bathroom or an adult escorting a kid? Totally cool with me. It’s when you got one person in line and an entire group meeting them is where I got a problem
What? An adult escorting a kid? So kids don't have to wait in line for some reason?
I think they meant an adult escorting a kid to the bathroom. It's okay if one person or an adult with a child leaves the line to visit the restroom, but if one person waits in line and a whole party joins them just before boarding, that's when people get angry.
Tip #3 was great. I just went to Disney and had a blast can’t wait till the next time 😅😂
Don’t forgot child swap it’s amazing
Great tips! Love me some Disney!!

I love your channel TPMvids!!! I've been subscribed to your channel since last year of 2017! Keep it up TPMvids!! 👍😉
Single rider line doesn't work for Rockin'. I waited longer in that line.
Jason Motsinger yep it’s notoriously longer then standby
I've been binge watching all of your videos in preparation for my trip this November.
I went on the buzz light-year ride twice with no line while everyone else was watching the nightly parade...
Great but see I like the parade.
Flight of Passage is insane! I got to the park at 7:40 am, the ride opened at 8 (opening) and I still had to wait an hour. Good video and the rest of the tricks worked. Test Track was 5 minutes during the fireworks, I used all my fastpasses before 3 PM (except for Big Thunder because that started at 245 and I got there at 330) and got more after that (I got seven dwarfs mine train because of that), Waited 25 minutes for Peter Pan before the parade, got on many more rides between 12-2 and 5-7 except for my reservation at Tusker House. Overall that helped me for my ambitious Disney Trip.
You would think people know at least some of this stuff but yet there will be people who dont do fast passes, come an hour late, don't stay to the end, dont take advantage of the magic hours, eat lunch at actual lunch time when its an hour wait for lunch, goes to every event, and when a line is to long they leave it expecting it to be better and it only gets worse unless its an event, then they will wait in a 2 hour line for mine train, and people will also do shopping at the worst times. And then these people come home and complain saying they hate disney because they went on like 3 rides. And its not Disney's fault people use zero planning when using 100s of dollars for a theme park. Lol
That's very true, but there was a time when the parks were much easier to conquer. My problem is should you really have to do so much military precision planning for what should be a 'fun' holiday? Some young children and the elderly are clearly very stressed amongst the crowds just trying to get from A to B at times - it's overcrowded. It's why I've fallen out of love with the place.
This was an awesome video! I’ll definitely be using these tips on my next Disney trip!
It’s sad that now you have to pay for fast passes :(
Wait you have to pay now? How many dollars?
@@Stereophonics-11 yes, you have to pay for genie plus, can range from $15 all the way to $20+
Thank you for telling us, now i can wait less time in the park!!!
THEY SAID HIT OR MISS!!!!!!!!!!
Issy Co-Star ok?
@@rapdogs8366 TikTok
I guess they never miss huh
And.... what about that stupid app
Using the single rider lines can be well worth it. On our most recent visit the wait time for SR line at Expedition Everest was 5 minutes. This was quicker than even the Fastpass + line.
Haunted mansion was such a disappointment its called haunted mansion but there wasn’t even any jumpscares etc
It's family friendly ride in a family friendly park. Go to Universal Horror nights for (age restricted) jump scares.
I think we really need an updated video for us living in the post-apocalypse of 2021
I always witnessed people complaining about Fastpass in line. They're like why are the castmember letting so much Fastpass than standby and asks for the ratio. What's the point of Fastpass if the wait times are the same as standby. People are such complainers nowadays.
Thanks so much! This will help a ton when we go to disney again!
Tips:
1. Use Fast Pass
2. Cut In Line
3. Say There is a Sale of Animals
4. Say That You Have A Family Member Waiting For You
Take my advice 👌👍
DO U KNO DA WAE So you're guilty of cutting in line and line jumping?
gissneric chilll
You cut in front of me and you most surly see tomorrow.
Line cutting is against Disney rules, and believe me, they are coming down harder on it than ever before. You will get kicked out of the line and publicly embarrassed.
I remember one day we rode Expedition Everest at least 6 times the last hour the park was open because the lines were so short. The last few times we just asked to stay on the ride since there were only a few people waiting to get on and they actually let us. It might be different now though since they have that Night Rivers show but you’re absolutely right about night showtimes being the best time to ride rides.
Don’t fall for this
*Read more*
Genius Team I want to read more so bad though :(
Genius Team haha so fell for it
Almost fell for it.
I didn't fall for it because it's thicker than the real one
Genius Team people do that all the time I didn’t fall for it
At Animal Kingdom my niece and I went to a Bugs Life 3 times. You sit on benches and they have you go in a row all the way to the end of the bench to sit. At the end they tell you to go to your left and out the side door. The second time we went to the end of the bench and just sat for the next show instead of going out the side door. They were having people come in for the next show and nobody told us to leave. It was a great show so we loved seeing it again. And it's a good thing we were there the 3rd time because it had poured down rain when we did leave.
Me and my family used a well tip from my teacher who used to work at Disney in Magic Kingdom. Check what events will be happening a head of time. For example I’m a cheerleader and we go to Nationals which is very close to Disney. Last year our hotel was the B resort near Disney Springs. So a tip is to see what type of events are going on like Cheer and Marathons. Especially road work which can back up traffic. So if there is road work and you can’t get to a park like Magic Kingdom or Epcot go to the nearest hotel with a monereal. For Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios take the buses if car traffic is to bad. Hope this helped
A tip for the Anaheim location, Disneyland, if you stay in a non Disney hotel such as one of the Mariotts, they’re walking distance from the park so taking the monorail or tram is uneeded if you stay in one of the hotels on the opposite side of the actual Disney Resort hotels
Keep checking for fastpasses! My family and I were walking towards the exit of Animal Kingdom when I saw that an opening for Flight of Passage opened for the same time. We were able to ride before we left the park. Yesterday, I was able to find a fastpass for Mine train in the middle of the day! Always look.
Thank you sooo much! Im going this friday for winter break [by the way im 9] and im watching disney secerets and tricks and all that and this was sooo helpful!!!
Good thing, I'm used to eat lunch at 3pm and dinner at 9pm, going to save some time when I visit, thanks for the tips!
