If there are no early morning fast passes at Magic Kingdom, which ride does the candidate usually go to first?

• A. It's A Small World
• B. Space Mountain
• C. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
• D. Pirates of the Caribbean

Answer: (A)

The idea is to start with a ride that’s quick to experience, easy to enjoy, and easy to access first thing in the morning. It’s a Small World fits that goal well: it’s a gentle, low-effort ride with high capacity per cycle, so wait times tend to be shorter and more predictable early in the day. Plus, it’s located near the park entrance, making it a convenient first stop before the crowds spread to other lands.

In contrast, the other options are all higher-demand or more intense experiences that typically draw longer lines as the park wakes up, which makes them less ideal as the first ride. Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad are high-adrenaline coasters with popular queues, and Pirates of the Caribbean also tends to accumulate longer standby waits early on. So starting with It’s a Small World maximizes early-day throughput and keeps the morning momentum going.
