How much do you know about lines?

Before you immediately decide not to watch bc of length, here's a time breakdown/synopsis:
0:00 - 0:58 - the history.

• How lines work, the study and business acumen of lines
• Disneyland started off with ticket books to the Maxpass system (FastPass was in WDW)

The oddest place I've seen someone change a diaper was in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. :/

As a kid from FL we spent a looot of time at WDW. The day I figured out there was a button behind the machine that would just print out fastpasses when no one was around was a game changer. We'd just go HAM if we could get away with it lmao.

I haven't been to WDW in SO long (at least 10 years) but I really want to go back and bring my husband who hasn't been since he was a kid. But I kind of want to plan it around the food & wine festival. He's not big into Disney so I'm sure the promise of food and alcohol will win him over 😅

It's F&W for like 9/12 months of the year apparently lol. EPCOT is my favorite to just wander around in, but I haven't been in a decade myself.

Lmao damn ok, it used to only be a month. But yessss as an adult I think we can all agree Epcot is great.

They’re big thing now is to do festivals non stop. So like F&W is still just a fall thing(though it is longer than it used to be) but they’ve made permanent booths that they use all year for various festivals. They do a flower and garden one, an art one, F&W, and then the holiday one. But it’s all similar to F&W where they have featured food and drinks around the countries at the booths along with festival merchandise.

What's some crazy stuff you've seen while standing in lines?

Dragon-Con (or any Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Comic con) is good for seeing weird shit.
Like the kind of heavy, hairy guy with a hot pink Storm Trooper helmet wearing a pink teddy. Or the Cult of Scott Bakula people with their standee of Captain Archer decorated with Christmas lights.

i'm going to Disney in FL in January and have learned i know absolutely nothing about it. so much shit with reserving the parks and genie+ and magic bands (which apparently they don't give you anymore but you can buy on your own?). i'm luckily going with a lot of people who know what's going on.
