I don't have a queuing experience at the parks yet because I've not been to DisneyWorld...but I'm really looking forward to it...it's on my bucket list!

The que for rise of the resistance is one of the best!

I love the Peter Pan Q.

My favorite queue is found in Animal Kingdom. I love the yeti museum theme for the Expedition Everest coaster. I could honestly spend a long time in there just looking at all of the details!

My kids are convinced the giant foot print is real....and honestly so am I.

I love watching Josh Gates' TV shows and remember watching the one where he found that footprint. So cool to get to see it in the Expedition Everest queue! Everything in that queue is so interesting.

The American Adventure has a great exhibit hall that you look around while you wait for the next show.

Muppet-Vision queue area is great and their preshow is arguably better than the actual attraction.

I've seen many of the queu lines from the livestreams. But I feel like I've missed most of them due to fast passes and DAS. Rise of the Resistance was amazing. I really want to see the standby line for Pirates. I've never been through it. arge.

Lately it's a que where people around me observe the ground markings

Don't have a particular one for myself, but my friend Ian had the absolute best experience ever in a que at WDW - He was waiting with his family in the Everest que back when the 'Year of a Million Dreams' promotion was going on, and a group of Disney "suits" came up to them & told them that they had been selected to spend the night in the Castle! Yup, they won one of those Castle Suite stays! I'm still jealous to this day.

Having previously only gone through Peter Pan with a Fastpass, I found the queue to be really cool, probably my favorite.

Rise of the Resistance is cool but not really a lot going on... just things to look at and scanning the crates with the Play Disney app.

I find Toy Story Mania to be entertaining with the giant talking Mr. Potato Head and lots of different toys from my childhood!

Pre-COVID-
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Winnie the Pooh and Alien Swirling Saucers have the interactive elements which are fun - I'm sure there are others I'm missing too

Also Dumbo has the pager system where you can play while you wait (great for little kids), that is a brilliant idea that more rides should do! For adults, maybe swap out the playground for videos or something.

Smuggler's Run is fun because you get some cool views of the Millennium Falcon and the engine testing.

Star Tours and Seven Dwarves Mine Train is pretty neat. The Mine Train had several interactive games for the kids back in pre-COVID times.

I've only ever done it standby once, but Flight of Passage is probably my favorite right now-- lots to look at, and the way that it's broken up into different sections, you're generally not looking at the same thing for too long. If you can get this one under 90 minutes or so, it's worth riding standby just for the queue (FastPass sees none of the queue).

Rise is a neat queue, but doesn't really come close to FoP until the bit right before you board (being intentionally vague to avoid spoilers here). Also at Hollywood Studios, Star Tours gets an honorable mention from me: really strongly themed to the ride and immersive.

Pirates is a great queue at MK; it's not the most visually interesting (you spend an awful lot of time in the dark...) but it does a really good job of setting the tone for the ride. I also really like Space Mountain's queue, although I wish they hadn't covered the load area (you used to be able to see into the ride from the last section of queue).

Only queue worth mentioning at Epcot (until Ratatouille opens, hopefully) would be Frozen. Soarin' has all the flair of an airport terminal (but some darn good music, at least), Test Track hasn't been the same since the retheme, and nothing else in the park really has a themed queue area.

The footprint came from Josh Gates (if it's the footprint I'm thinking of) of "Destination Truth" and "Expedition Unknown" fame. Josh is legit! He discovered it on one of his TV shows and will never swear to being 100% certain that it's from a genuine yeti, but will say that he has found no alternative explanation for it.

While I'm here, my favorite queue is Flight of Passage but there are a lot of great ones. No one does queues like Disney!

The late night Space Mountain walk-on is my favorite line experience. Nobody is within sight inside the tunnels and the isolation feels a little more immersive. There are other queues that are more heavily themed, but for specific experience, this is the one for me.
