Welcome to MouseWait. Please read the FAQ. Holiday season, especially this close to Christmas, is extremely busy in the parks and that particular attraction is very popular. You do have the option of the Single Rider line which may be a faster wait time. But I would expect long waits for the popular attractions. - MyPark

I noticed you joined the App in Oct '11 - I gather you missed the opening of Cars Land and all of the posts pertaining to it. - Alicewhoareyou

Sorry to say, that sounds about normal. After the holidays, it'll get better. - ThatKimberly

Yeah, best bet is to wait until after the holidays. - sammy.aceves 29.4 #4391 4:52PM
That sounds about right during holidays. I would say single rider if you can - MarshaMouse

The only downside with single rider for that ride is that sometimes it's just as long of a wait. I'd say avoid that ride, & wait to ride until after the new year. - sammy.aceves 29.4 #4391 4:51PM
That's the Christmas spirit right here. I say let your children read your post so they can share the "positive" attitude - Villescas8(V8)

We actually showed up early got our fast passes at about 8:30 for the 11:05 - 12:05 entry. It's about getting there early. Can't complain if the rides are so popular. =) - CheshireAlyCat

Exactly CAC! If you had used the search feature on this wonderful app you would have received wonderful info on how to get on RSR. And if you would have read the FAQ like mentioned you would know there's no complaining on MW. Hope you had a wonderful time in the parks anyways. Many people would trade places with you. - MrsSchnooks 571.2 #192 8:13PM
Yes they could do better, FP's could have been gone by 8:15 and you could have a 4+ hour stand-by wait. I'm going to thank your post because it along with all of the responses made me laugh😁. - Linzee

Enjoy your time in the park. I wish I could go, but I can't. Come on. Be thankful you can be there and wait. - Mrs.mouse

Hey, they're doing great--exactly what they aim to do! The ride is super-popular, and sucks tons of people into Carsland, lol! - Spoonful_O_Sugar

You might want to take this up with City Hall if it bothers you so much. Unfortunately, MouseWait isn't affiliated with Disney and your dissatisfaction will not be heard by them on here. Actually, I wouldn't bother the nice CMs at City Hall with it either because this is normal for many of the popular rides. You should've seen Star tours when it first reopened - cesium55

I don't know what you expect them to do. Kick people out of line for you? As others have said the ride is incredibly popular. That's why the line is so long and why the fast passes are gone so early in the day. I'd rather have them build an excellent attraction that has a long line and is fun than a crummy one that no one enjoys that I can get on whenever I want. - Gimmer

So the fact that one of the greatest attractions ever created has a long wait during the busiest time of the year comes as a surprise to you? There is a lot to experience at DL and DCA and a little bit of planning and patience goes a long way. Enjoy being at the park because all of us who are far away would love to be in your shoes right now. - MightyWhitey

There's snow on the castle?! - imnoprincess_CM 230.1 #1238 6:15PM
There are a limited number of fps for every ride at Disneyland. Rsr happens to be very popular and runs out right away. If the number was unlimited there would be no point to a fp. - aidensmama
