    Walt Disney World Tip #1642 - Soarin' Through the Queue


    At level 3, you can mark this tip as a favorite!
    Fact: No one really enjoys standing in long lines. A second fact: there is a pretty good chance that when you are at Walt Disney World, sooner or later you will stand in a line. There are many things you can do, such as talking, texting or striking up a conversation with the people in front or behind you. These methods all pass time, but do they make standing in line any more fun? Probably not. However, if you are in line for Soarin' in Epcot you can play games that are so much fun you don't realize you are in line and make you almost sorry when the line begins to move again. I would rather stand in line for Soarin' than get a fast pass which bypasses these games. As you are walking in line, glance to your right when you are about half way up the ramp. You will see what appear to be giant murals painted on the wall. They are actually interactive screens. There are several of these screens and the action passes from one to the other, from left to right. You, the people in line, control the action. One game tells you to pop all the balloons that float by from one screen to the other. It is such fun to watch all the people on line trying virtually to pop hundreds of balloons. These games are as much fun as the ones played in front of the television with a little controller in your hand. With these games, you are the controller. For me, this is another example of the Walt Disney magic that makes Walt Disney World so extra special.
