Chapter 1, in which Parkeology discovers an interactive queue and squeals with delight.

As part of the Fantasyland expansion, the queue for the Winnie the Pooh attraction received a makeover. I arrived at the Magic Kingdom bright and early today so I could snap a few pictures without hoards of people to contend with. Here’s what I discovered.

When it comes to Disney, change is inevitable, whether it be good or bad. One recent change took place in the queue for the Haunted Mansion. The interactive queue idea has taken off and now guests wind their way up towards the mansion, passing by graves, crypts, and more, that have a little extra touch. Today we’re taking you on a photo tour through the queue.

There seems to be a trend going on at Walt Disney World involving interactive queues for attractions. It's recently been announced Frontierland staple Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will be the next ride at WDW to jump aboard the interactive queue wagon.

Walt Disney Imagineering has provided an exclusive first look at the new interactive queue being added to the Haunted Mansion attraction at Magic Kingdom Park – and it’s something you’ll want to check out. Here is the Disney Parks Video.

When in WDW, never, ever say ‘standing in line.’ That sounds terribly dull and quite un-magical. Instead, you are experiencing the queue area. Doesn’t that sound far more exciting? And for a number of attractions, it really is. In fact, in my opinion, some queue areas are better than some rides.
