5. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Children will love the new interactive queue area outside the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. In fact, this outdoor play area may be so appealing that you can’t get them back in line. From drumming on watermelons to playing with a busy bunch of bees, there’s something to enjoy every step of the way. Don’t miss the honey wall, which reveals a hidden picture when you sweep the sweet golden ooze away.
6. Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid
The queue for Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid is incredibly detailed, taking you on a journey through Ariel’s favorite haunts. You can play interactive games with sea crabs, get to know a lively audioanimatronic of Scuttle, and check out some of Ariel’s many treasures from the human world. The final room takes you through Prince Eric’s beautiful castle, though you may miss this last part if the line isn’t long enough.
7. Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
If you’ve ever watched the Twilight Zone, you can’t miss the queue for the Tower of Terror. It’s worth checking out the little details here even if you step out of line before you actually board the ride. The queue and pre-show area both feature memorabilia from various episodes of the show. Traveling through the decrepit hotel, you can’t help but feel a little uneasy. Everything is frozen in time, right down to an unfinished game of Mah Jong. Layers of dust and cobwebs cover the lobby, and the decaying gardens make it obvious that this hotel hasn’t seen living occupants in a long time.
8. Dumbo the Flying Elephant
The twin versions of Dumbo the Flying Elephant in the New Fantasyland have the most ingenious queue feature ever for a ride that’s designed for the smallest of visitors. Inside the queue, you’re dropped into a massive indoor playground, predictably themed around the circus. A play car and puzzle walls sit in the center, surrounded by benches so parents can relax and keep an eye on small tots. A larger playscape behind it offers room for bigger kids to climb and explore. There’s no better way to pass the time in line, and this air conditioned playground is worth a stop even if you exit before you get to the ride.
No matter where you are in the parks, keep your eyes open when you’re in line. These aren’t the only queues with something interesting to offer, and with new interactive queues popping up all over the park, you never know what you’ll find.

Also, I found on a recent trip that I never knew about; big thunder has areas in line where you can crank up an explosive and detonate a bomb and if you watch out the window at the ride, if you time it right you can get riders a little wet!
