3. Stroller parking 

Though the Magic Kingdom is home to one of the world’s largest parking lots, it is dwarfed by the amount of stroller parking that is found around the resort. No matter where you are inside a Walt Disney World park, chances are good you’re not more than 1000 feet from a stroller parking area. However, some stroller parking areas are more popular than others, and often have several attendants that will offer guests assistance to get their stroller safely tucked away while they ride the Toy Story Midway Mania, the Haunted Mansion, or whatever is close by. 

However, even though there may be an attendant or two assisting guests, anyone can self-park their stroller for any reason, no waiting required! Though it’s helpful to have a Cast Member take care of your stroller for you, you don’t have to queue behind one that is helping other guests. Though a Cast Member may move your stroller later on to make space for others, queuing for several minutes for stroller parking is unnecessary.

4.  Quick service queues 

Around 11AM, lines at popular quick service eateries start to swell, and around the noontime hour, it’s not uncommon for guests to wait an hour or more at places like Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café or Pecos Bill’s Tall Tale in and Café. However, waiting so long for lunch isn’t necessary, even on busy days, as there are two things guests can do to avoid these lines.

First up, guests who don’t mind waiting until after 1PM to eat, definitely should. Not only is this time after the traditional noontime lunch hour, but guests at the Magic Kingdom will also begin funneling towards parade viewing areas for the Festival of Fantasy parade.

If you can’t hold out until after 1PM, guests can also visit some lesser-known eateries that are perhaps off the beaten path. For instance, the Magic Kingdom opens several restaurants only on busy days that almost always have no wait, and many of the quick service eateries deep in Epcot’s World Showcase (especially the Liberty Inn in America as well as the Tangerine Café in Morocco) often have no wait. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a bit of a special case as it doesn’t have that much in the way of quick service dining aside from the quartet of Pizzafari, Local Foods Cafe, Flame Tree Barbecue and Harambe Marketplace, but there are several food stands around the park that offer great selections with almost no wait. Disney's Hollywood Studios also often has limited options, but if you're looking to skip the lines at the Sunset Ranch Market, ABC Commissary or Backlot Express, Min & Bill's Dockside Diner often has very short waits. 

5. PhotoPass Pictures 

Whether its on Main Street USA in front of Cinderella Castle or at the base of Expedition Everest's Forbidden Mountain, there are plenty of iconic pictures that many Walt Disney World guests love to take. And with Memory Maker now added to all Walt Disney World annual passes, demand for PhotoPass pictures has definitely reached a new high.

However, instead of queueing behind a PhotoPass photographer (and subsequently blocking traffic around the park), guests can either opt to come back later or find a different PhotoPass photographer. When there is heavy demand for photographers in a certain location, Disney will often deploy other photographers, which negates the need for a line. Simply having some patience in this situation is best, and will keep you from queueing unnecessarily.
