Disney World's LONGEST Line Today Wasn't Where You'd Expect

A word of warning if you’re visiting Disney World on a holiday weekend! The longest lines you could wait in may not necessarily be inside one of its parks.

Disney Springs

Disney World has several measures in place to help you not wait in long lines as often as possible, like Lightning Lane Premier Pass and Multi Pass. But if you find yourself visiting this particular area of Disney World today, you might wish you had a Lightning Lane to help you get through its lines FASTER!

Waiting in line at Disney World is fairly unavoidable on any given day, even with Disney’s paid services to help you through your day. Well…at least inside the parks. But, sometimes lines at Disney World show up where you least expect them, and Memorial Day has certainly been no exception!

Parking spaces

While taking a trip out to Disney Springs, one of our reporters ran into an unexpected problem. As she was pulling into the Lime Garage at Disney Springs, she noticed that several of this garage’s floors were already FULL for the day. Here’s the problem though, it was still only midday!

So by the time she got into the line to park inside the garage, it was already too late to escape. This is an unexpected problem you could run into if you’re not arriving early for a day at Disney Springs. With summer quickly approaching, schools beginning their summer breaks, and more people traveling to Orlando, this popular shopping and dining district could see a surge in attendance soon that could last for weeks.

Honestly though, our best tips we can offer as a solution to this parking problem (aside from arriving early) is to be flexible. By switching up where you typically planned to park, you could find yourself at a different parking garage that’s less crowded. This was our experience when we checked out the Orange Garage side instead.

So while you might need to switch up your original plans, you’ll also want to make sure you’ve packed your patience while you wait your turn and examine the rows for a parking spot.
