    Save Everest for after sunset!! It’s still my favorite ride through the day, but is even better in the evening. Single rider is the way to go to dodge the wait, but the queue is neat as well.

    Always a long wait, but what can I say, it's a great ride! They definitely have to do something about the sweat smell when you enter the building.It could be all the clothes and artifacts being stored

    The line is beautifully designed, very atmospheric, and the ride is super fun. And the sight of Everest is magnificent during the day and especially at night

    An absolute must do at Animal Kingdom. Stand in line and get a fast pass do you can ride it twice. The wait time is short once the park opens and when the park is about to close.

    In my opinion, the BEST roller coaster at WDW! It goes forwards and backwards, is inside and out. For quicker entry, go through the single-riders line, never longer than a 10 minute wait.

    Fantastic line and interesting back story. Get a fast pass or go on the single rider line if you're in a hurry, but the line is fascinating and worth the trip through at least once.

    Similar to the Matterhorn ride at Disneyland... the twist with this Coaster is that it starts going backwards and totally takes you by surprise SPOILER! Very fun ride, definitely Fastpass it.

    Fave ride in the park (before Avatar was made, of course). The yeti is so cool, and the roller coaster going backwards in my favorite part. Breathtaking views at the pinnacle.

    A mystery that begs you to find out more each time you ride. A fun coaster that goes forward and backwards in the dark, the detail and story of this ride is a prime example of Disney quality.

    A little hard to find but a fantastic ride overall! Normally has a long line, but there are things to observe while in the line. Definitely recommend using a FastPass to get to the coaster.

    Get there first thing in the morning, use a Fastpass, or go through the single rider line for shortest waits. Very detailed queue.

    get on the single rider line then when u make it to the front ask to be moved to the line for the 1st 2 carts, is an amazing experience, and works even if u go in pairs

    To save a ton of time - use the single rider line. Your party is together until the very last minute, when you get out on the ride. Yes, it's fun to ride together but the time difference is huge!

    Ride Expedition Everest first thing in the morning to avoid a long line. Great ride! I highly recommend grabbing a fast-pass to Kilimanjaro Safaris and/or a fast-pass to Expedition Everest first.

    Do yourself a solid and take the standby line, if it’s under an hour. The queue is worth it and the time will go quickly. Indophiles will love it!

    Drop is not as big as it looks from the outside. I'm a wuss and I survived! Fun but quick, and the single rider line goes fast, but you WILL be separated.

    Go early in the morning or in the evening ! It’s ones of the best rides in the park. The lines can be very long!

    One of my favorite coasters anywhere, ever. And I live an hour from Cedar Point and go there at least once a year. This absolutely stands up to or beats many of theirs.

    Definitely fastpass this ride as it will have the longest line in the Animal Kingdom Park. Really fun, with some nice surprises during the ride.

    Grab a $10 margarita, drink it up, get tipsy... hop on this ride and you'll end up getting a little more than tipsy! It's great!

    Ride once in the front row for the view, and then in the back row where the ride itself is much better! Also, pay attention to the queue...there are a lot of cool artifacts throughout it!

    The set up is very interesting and the ride itself is scary and fun at the same time , I don't recommend closing your eyes unless u want the biggest headache of your life.

    Get a fast pass and then wait for the front seats. You won't have to wait for long and it's definitely worth it for the view at a certain point!

    If you're alone or with a small group of friends, just use the single rider line. It only takes about five to ten minutes and you can still have a decent seat.

    A must ride in Animal Kingdom. I would go straight back there when the park opens. You can usually ride several times without a Fast Pass before the line builds up.

    Named one of the most expansive roller coasters in the world, this ride is also wild! You’ll get chased by simulated yeti for the full Everest experience. Read more

    The front of train can give you a nice view but the back gives you a better ride. Also go right at park closing and you can ride several times in a row with no wait.

    Getting to this ride early is the way to go so that you don't burn a fastpass. You can see Everest from the Dolphin

    Hands down, most favorite ride at WDW. Try the single rider line, our personal record is 33x in a row! Seriously, backwards, Yeti's...YES!

    Get a fast pass before you even get in line for the first time. Trust me, you'll want to go again!

    Disney ride at its best. Very thrilling. Specially at night fall, when it becomes even darker. Don't miss it.

    Single rider line! Also, look to the left as you go up the big incline, you can see Epcot and Hollywood Studios off in the distance.

    If you're riding for the first time, ask for the front row! If not, last row is the best by far

    **PAY ATTENTION** Look for the YETI close to the end of the ride. There's a HUGE YETI in the caves. AMAZING. I've been on this ride 10X & I just realized that he's there. He is MASSIVE.
