You pay through the nose for the liberty of spending good times with the likes of Mickey, Minnie and Pluto – yet for all of Disney World’s fun and fantasia, queueing in scorching hot temperatures for half the day isn’t quite so appealing,
And so Disney have decided to do something about it – finally. 
Walt Disney World have confirmed that they’re current testing a system that would ask guests to ditch the tedious waiting lines and instead spend their time in a holding area at some of its most popular attractions.
Tests inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios last week assigned group numbers to those wanting to ride the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster – these tests appear similar to a concept for a revamped Dumbo ride in Walt Disney World’s upcoming Fantasyland expansion project.
Disney has said that rather than waiting in line, guests will be invited to play carnival games and enjoy entertainment in the circus tent in the renderings below, fanned by an air conditioning service, while awaiting their turn to ride the flying elephants. Of course, you’ll also be invited to purchase Disney merchandise while you wait.
A poll on a news site which first announced the idea asked punters if they thought this was a good step being taken by Disney – and a convincing 78% voted ‘Yes’.
The waiting system that was tested isn’t a scheduled appointment to ride where you could leave the ride and come back later; rather, you are expected to stay in the designated waiting area. Signs warned that if you weren’t there within 5 minutes of your group being called, you would lose your place in the queue.
It’s expected to be a big hit with families with young children, who find it difficult to stand waiting, restlessly for a prolonged period of time.
