The four theme parks in Walt Disney World are filled with amazing attractions that bring guests on all sorts of journeys and adventures. While many of these attractions are popular, there are some that tend to have shorter wait times or fast moving queues. Those attractions are definitely worth visiting, but it is the other ones that require a little more work. The attractions that are super popular and have long wait times are great options for guests to choose for FastPasses.
